Features

Capabilities

  • UNMATCHED CONTROL - ALPHA ONE™ SINGLE-BEAM REAR SUSPENSION: This revolutionary single-beam rear suspension changes the game for mountain snowmobiles. The unique design doesn't trap snow, keeping the sled light and allowing you to stay on top of the snow with ease. With more control and maneuverability than any other mountain sled, you can carve up the mountain seamlessly.
  • SMOOTH POWER DELIVERY - ADAPT™ CVT SYSTEM: With its lightweight, narrow design that increases performance and belt life, as well as the industry's only self-adjusting clutch, the ADAPT™ CVT system provides better throttle response, smoother power delivery, and a ride like no other.
  • UNPARALLELED VERSATILITY - FOX® FLOAT QS3 SHOCKS: ALPHA ONE™ suspension is easily adjustable for ride and intensity with FOX FLOAT shocks: from the three-position QS3 on the ski and front arm, to a semi-locking QSL on the rear, you get easy adjustability for maximum deep-snow performance.
  • SERIOUS POWER - 8000-SERIES C-TEC2™ ENGINE: This twin-cylinder, 165-class horsepower engine will carry you through the toughest climbs and the biggest jumps all day long, all while packing a serious punch. The next-generation 8000-Series-C-TEC2 engine delivers a new level of clean Arctic Cat 2-stroke engine performance and technology. This 794cc C-TEC2 twin features: New cylinders, pistons, combustion chamber, flywheel, and fuel rail. New fuel calibration strategy and Arctic Power Valve system with 3-stage control of the auxiliary exhaust ports via side valves. ECM-controlled electronic oil pump. Batteryless EFI. Exhaust Pipe Temperature Sensor (EPTS). Knock Sensor. Engine Reverse Technology. This advanced new technology designed by Arctic Cat and built in St. Cloud, Minn delivers: Ultra-clean, more responsive performance. Enhanced power in the 165-hp class of engines. Precision oil injection. Exceedingly robust and lightweight design.
  • OPTIMIZED FOR DEEP SNOW - AMS FRONT SUSPENSION: The Arctic Mountain Suspension (AMS) is built specifically to navigate through deep snow. With lightweight spindles and a precision engineered suspension geometry designed specifically with mountain riding in mind, the Mountain Cat is the ultimate ride for deep snow performance. 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.
  • INSTANT SUSPENSION CONTROL - ATAC ON-THE-FLY SUSPENSION: No more getting off your snowmobile to adjust your suspension. Easily switch between soft, medium, and firm suspension settings with the push of a handlebar-mounted button and watch the system immediately adjust your suspension. Available on select models.
  • QUICK AND CONVENIENT - PUSH-BUTTON ELECTRIC START: The convenience of electric start is just one of the countless things that sets the Mountain Cat apart. With just the push of a handlebar-mounted button, you'll be up and moving.
  • ENHANCED TRACTION - POWER CLAW™ TRACK: Unlock the backcountry with Power Claw™, a lightweight track that delivers the ultimate deep snow traction and performance. It's easier than ever to slice straight through deep snow. Power Claw Track is built lightweight, with a single-ply design and a 2.86-inch pitch for a 2.6-inch lug height and a 3.5-inch pitch for a 3.0-inch lug height track — all so you can master deep snow runs.
  • EASY ACCESS - GOGGLE HOLDER: Never lose your goggles again. The integrated goggle holder mounted directly in the dash keeps a critical piece of gear safe and easily accessible.
  • BRIGHTEN ANY RIDE - LED HEADLIGHT: With a premium LED headlight, you can keep riding past sunset. Equipped with both high and low-beams, the headlight casts an LED light pattern with great range and width.
  • ADAPTS TO TERRAIN - ADJUSTABLE 35.5"-37.5" SKI STANCE: With an adjustable 35.5-37.5-inch ski stance, you can easily react to whatever challenges the mountain may throw at you. It only takes a few seconds to change, so you'll be up and moving in no time.
