Slide-Action Rear Suspension™: Slide-Action maintains a free-acting front arm while coupling under torque over bumps, and during aggressive cornering and acceleration. As the rear transfer blocks are engaged, the front arm follows the bumps, keeping your skis firmly planted as your 129-in. track propels you down the trail.
Arctic Race Front Suspension: Tall, lightweight ski spindles and widely spaced A-arms provide great torsion rigidity and strength. Angling the shock load back toward the rider's mass, results in optimal caster/camber to improve comfort and cornering. Arctic Cat® IFP shocks and a sway bar provide excellent control and handling.
4000 2-Stroke Engine: The 499cc, liquid-cooled twin is the ideal engine for a wide range of riders. This engine represents tried-and-true 2-stroke performance. It is the right combination of performance, reliability and value.
ProCross Chassis: This chassis excels at bringing weight-saving technology to the performance-obsessed rider. The ProCross™ features a tapered two-piece tunnel design. Narrow at the top, wider at the bottom. A forged steering housing ties together many of the load-bearing chassis components.
Digital/Analog Gauge: Choose between digital and analog speed and tachometer readouts. There's also an odometer, two trip meters, engine hour meter, reverse indicator and warning lights.
Push-Button Reverse: The push-button reverse is all about quick, easy activation. Just hit the button and backward you go.
Mid-Height Windshield: Tuck in for the long haul. You can't beat this sturdy windshield for excellent protection from the elements.
1-in. Ripsaw II Track: A unique lug design on the Ripsaw™ II track combines the best features of Ripsaw, Cobra™ and Predator for excellent performance. It offers less side bite through the corners than the original Ripsaw, with a 1-in. lug height for optimal top speed.
