| 2018 ARCTIC CAT M8000 MOUNTAIN CAT ES 162"
|
| *8000 C-TEC2 Engine with DSI
|
| The 8000 -- efficient, responsive and fresh out of St. Cloud, Minnesota. This 2-stroke engine features noticeably faster throttle response and acceleration compared with our previous 8000, plus up to 30% reduction in oil consumption below 7000 rpm, 36% increase in low-end torque and 18% increase in midrange torque. Delivering a rare combination of increased power, reduced emissions and ultra-low oil consumption, the overall crispness sets new standards for performance and rideability in the 160-HP class.

| *Arctic Mountain Front Suspension with FOX FLOAT 3 QS3 Shocks
|
| Lightweight, forged-aluminum spindles have less surface area than the previous design, reducing drag and improving performance in deep snow. Also, dual-phase high strength alloy-steel A-arms are lighter than previous designs. FOX FLOAT 3 QS3 shock lets you adjust your shocks to suit the riding conditions without removing your gloves. Set the clicker to 1 for a softer ride. Click it up a notch to setting 2, and you'll be able to take on any bump. Or click up to 3 for a stiffer ride to take on whatever the backcountry has to offer.
|
| *FLOAT-ACTION Rear Suspension with FOX FLOAT QS3 Front and FOX FLOAT 3 QSL Rear Shocks
|
| The FLOAT-ACTION Rear Suspension features revised rails that shed 1.25 pounds, giving optimal suspension travel and a better ride quality in all conditions. The FLOAT-ACTION suspension incorporates mountain-specific geometry, delivering consistent track tension. The FOX FLOAT QS3 front track shock and FOX FLOAT 3 QSL rear track shocks are engineered to perfection. The lightweight design and premium bump control improve resistance to bottoming out. The quick switch on each of these shocks allows you to choose from three specifically calibrated ride control settings allowing you to change up your ride in a matter of seconds.
|
| *ARCTIC MOUNTAIN DRIVE SYSTEM
|
| The Arctic Drive System features CVT drive and driven clutches for a combination of smooth shifting, optimal performance, maximum durability; great serviceability; and reduced weight. The new drive clutch features a roller bearing on the shaft that enables an auto-adjusting belt tension design and delivers consistent performance without manual adjustments. It also features a 12.5 percent lower effective starting ratio (while maintaining the top ratio) for smoother engagement and reduced belt wear at drive-away speed, with more evenly distributed force for lower belt pressure. It's a design that's unique to Arctic Cat.
|
| *162-IN. Power Claw™ Track
|
| This lightweight, single-ply track with a 3-inch pitch sets the standard for deep-snow performance. Stagger-set, curved-forward paddle towers won't fold over. The industry-leading 3-inch lug grips the powder like no other.
|
| *12V Outlet
|
| Need to charge your phone or another electrical device? We've got you covered. Just plug in and power up while you ride.
|
| *Deluxe Digital Gauge
|
| This dual configurable LCD screen gauge allows to you check all the vital information about your snowmobile and more. 14 different readings to be exact. There's an odometer, speedometer, max RPM, 2 trip meters, engine hours, low oil light, coolant temperature, exhaust temperature, intake air temperature, battery voltage, fuel level, clock, reverse indicator, hand warmer and thumb warmer.
|
| *Front Mount Heat Exchanger
|
| All M Series models incorporate the lightweight, single, front-mounted heat exchanger. The system is nearly 4 lbs. lighter than a full-length heat exchanger and results in the least amount of snow and slush retention during riding, helping the M Series maintain their real-world weight savings advantage. All M Series snowmobiles also come standard with ice-scratchers.
|
| *Ice Scratchers
|
| As part of the heat exchange system, ice scratchers can save the day when there's minimal snow but plenty of ice. In that kind of riding condition, lowering the ice scrapers kicks up ice to help prevent your engine from overheating.

| *Mountain Strap
|
| Want to shift your weight? This puts the extra leverage you need right in your hands.
|
| * ProClimb - 7 SKIS
|
| *Lightweight Mountain Seat
|
| In the backcountry, the less weight the better. So we've designed this seat to be low and short. That also makes it easier to hop from one side of your sled to the other when carving through challenging terrain.
|
| *Vertical steering post with 4.5" riser and mountain handlebar
|
| Want to counter-steer on steep hills? This 4.5″ vertical post provides a more natural handlebar turning arc when you're riding standing up. |
