2016 Arctic Cat M 8000 HCR (153)

Description

• 8000 2-STROKE ENGINE

  160‑class HP makes this 794cc 2-stroke the most powerful 800 engine in the industry. It features a lightweight, quick‑revving crankshaft, twin spark plugs per cylinder and weight-saving engine reverse technology. The engine knock sensor provides octane recognition, giving you more fuel options.

• ARCTIC DRIVE SYSTEM WITH TEAM CLUTCHES

  New for 2016, the Arctic Drive System™ incorporates a large TEAM BOSS driven clutch and TEAM drive clutch. By eliminating belt skid, these clutches reduce temperature and transfer more power to the track. In addition to their incredible strength, these clutches are known for their easy and precise tuning.

• ARCTIC MOUNTAIN FRONT SUSPENSION

  Arctic Mountain Suspension (AMS) is all-new for 2016, from its single-post spindles set to a 27-degree caster angle for better sidehilling, to the 2.4-lb. weight savings in the A-arms and 7-in. tapered skis. All that plus a narrower 36-in. stance. FOX® 3 EVOL shocks cushion aggressive bumps and smooth out even the harshest ruts.

• FLOAT-ACTION REAR SUSPENSION

  Unique tri-hub rear axle system is engineered to be very light and very strong. Front-arm FOX ZERO Pro and rear-arm FOX FLOAT® 3 shocks provide lightweight strength and infinite adjustability for any course conditions.

• NARROWER 38.5-42.5 ADJUSTABLE SKI STANCE

  For boondocking and riding off trail, the narrower ski stance (adjustable: 38.5″–42.5″) takes you places you couldn’t go before. Easier for carving, sidehilling, and just easier to handle.

• PROCLIMB - 7 SKIS

  The new ProClimb-7 mountain ski is 7-in. at the tip, tapering to 6.5-in. at the center. The wider skis enhance your carving abilities and prevent unintended braking while going downhill. A wider ski damper featuring a longer axle and bolt increases lateral adjustability

• PUSH-BUTTON ENGINE REVERSE

  The push-button reverse is all about quick, easy activation. This feature reverses the direction of the engine rotation. In addition to being smooth, it’s also a weight-savings feature.

• 12V OUTLET

  Plug in and power up. Charge your phone or other electronic device while you ride.

• DELUXE DIGITAL ANALOG GAUGE

  The deluxe gauge lets you choose between digital and analog speed, and tachometer readouts. There’s also an odometer, two trip meters, engine hour meter, reverse indicator, optional altimeter and warning lights.

• HCR-TYPE HEAT EXCHANGER

  The unit is nearly 4 lbs. lighter than the full-length heat exchanger, and it eliminates additional weight by reducing snow buildup. This system has been proven on the HCR for the past three seasons.

• ICE SCRATCHERS

  As a part of the heat-exchange system, these ice scratchers are simply invaluable. When there’s minimal snow, just lower the ice scratchers to kick up some snow and ice. This will keep the engine cool to prevent overheating.

• MOUNTAIN STRAP

  Provides extra leverage when you need it most.

• VERTICAL STEERING POST, 4.5" RISER WITH MOUNTAIN HANDLEBAR

  The 4.5″ vertical post delivers a more natural handlebar turning arc for a standing rider who wants to countersteer on steep sidehills.

• LIGHTWEIGHT BRAKE DISC

  This rotor is 12% larger, yet 60% lighter. Get great performance in all types of conditions for more confidence in the backcountry.

• UNDERSEAT STORAGE

  With your Bearcat®, you have plenty of space under the seat to store things you need for the ride, ice fishing expedition or workday.

• 5.5" RACE-HEIGHT WINDSHIELD

  Because it’s not the same hiding behind a tall windshield as you carve through fresh power.

• 153-IN. POWER CLAW TRACK WITH 2.6-IN. LUGS

  This lightweight, 153-in. single-ply track sets the standard for deep snow performance. Stagger-set, curved-forward paddle towers won’t fold over. This track features a powder-devouring 2.6-in. lug height.
