Two powerful next-generation engine options allow you to choose the right power source for your ride.

The new 8000-Series C-TEC2 delivers the next level of ultra-clean, ultra-responsive Arctic Cat 2-stroke engine performance with enhanced 165-hp class power and precision oil.

Or opt for the 6000-Series 599cc C-TEC2 Engine with Dual-Stage Injection (DSI) – the first clean technology Arctic Cat 2-stroke engine and the leader in 125-hp class performance.

Both engines feature:

ECM-controlled electronic oil pump
Batteryless EFI
Exhaust Pop Temperature Sensor (EPTS)
Knock Sensor
Engine Reverse Technology
An exceedingly robust, lightweight design

AMS Front Suspension

Lightweight spindles and a precision-engineered mountain-specific suspension geometry let you maneuver through deep snow and anything else the mountain has in store.

Learn More

AMS Front Suspension

Arctic Mountain Suspension is tailor-made to maneuver in deep snow. The lightweight, forged-aluminum spindles sit at a 27 degree spindle caster angle, providing optimal ski camber for off-trail cornering and more predictable counter-steering when side-hilling. They’re built to reduce drag, while the dual-phase alloy-steel A-arms are lightweight and durable.

ATAC On-the-Fly Suspension

Switch between soft, medium and firm suspension at the push of a button, with handlebar-mounted controls that automatically and immediately adjust your suspension FOX ZERO iQS gas shocks. Available on select models.

Push-Button Electric Start

A push of the handlebar-mounted button is all it takes for the convenience of electric start.

Power Claw^™ Track

Slice through deep snow with Power Claw: a lightweight track that delivers the ultimate deep snow traction and performance.

Learn More

Power Claw Track

Power Claw Track is built lightweight, with a single-ply design and a 3.0-inch pitch — all so you can master deep snow runs. Its stagger-set, curved-forward paddle towers won't fold over or take a set, and Attack 20 paddles let you float over the deep stuff.

Goggle Holder

Mounted right in the dash for quick access, this integrated goggle holder keeps a key piece of gear safe and sound.

LED Headlight

Ride until the sun goes down — then keep riding, with this premium LED headlight for night riding.

Adjustable 35.5"-37.5" Ski Stance

Easily adjust your ski stance in seconds — keep it wide for the trails or narrow through the trees.
