FEATURES
CROSS-ACTION REAR SUSPENSION The new CROSS-ACTION skidframe creates a playful ride quality, with more weight transfer during acceleration, great performance in deep snow, and outstanding comfort and traction over big bumps in all snow conditions. Arctic Cat’s Torque-Sensing Link allows a lower and more consistent track tension, plus you get an adjustable spring preload and a 3-wheel rear axle assembly. The CROSS-ACTION suspension offers 13.5 inches of travel and comes in a 146-inch length with ice-scratchers.
ADAPT CVT SYSTEM Lightweight narrow design that increases performance and belt life. The all-new Arctic Cat ADAPT CVT system provides improved throttle response and smooth power delivery.
ARS II FRONT SUSPENSION The next generation of Arctic Race Suspension (ARS) is here. ARS II gives you better bite on corners and increased ground clearance to deliver more confidence on- or off-trail. We made the forged aluminum spindles 1.5 inches taller from the ski to the lower arm and gave it more rigid upper A-Arms. Plus, a revised geometry delivers a new roll-center and adjustable cambers, and a swaybar makes for flatter, more predictable cornering on hardpack trails.
G2 PROCLIMB™ 7 MOUNTAIN SKI This lightweight ski is contoured for easier steering, and integrates with the AMS spindles for better deep-snow performance.
ADJUSTABLE SKI STANCE Easily adjust your ski stance —from 41.5- to 43.5 inches for maximum adaptability.
REINFORCED RUNNING BOARDS Big air means big impact, which is why Riot's running boards are reinforced with an extrusion for added rigidity.
60TH ANNIVERSARY DECAL Celebrate 60 years of Arctic Cat with this commemorative decal.
ATAC ADJUSTABLE-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.
