2017 Arctic Cat M 8000 SNO PRO (153)

Description

• 8000 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 RAPID RESPONSE DRIVE AND TEAM RAPID RESPONSE BOSS DRIVEN CLUTCHES

  The Arctic Drive System™ features a lightweight magnesium chaincase. The design incorporates a large TEAM® 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 WITH FOX FLOAT 3 SHOCKS

  The Arctic Mountain front suspension packs the essentials. The ProClimb-7 mountain ski is 7″ at the tip, tapering to 6.5″ at the center to enhance your carving. Single-post, angled-out spindles help you shed some sled weight while maximizing quality and strength. FOX FLOAT® 3 air shocks use “negative” spring technology to deliver a plush ride during initial travel and faster, stiffer cornering while maintaining big-hit control.

• FLOAT-ACTION REAR SUSPENSION WITH FRONT ARCTIC CAT IFP AND REAR FOX FLOAT 3

  The FLOAT-ACTION rear suspension’s unique tri-hub rear axle system is engineered to be very light and very strong. Front Arctic Cat IFP shocks provide stability, while rear springless FOX FLOAT 3 air shocks reduce snow buildup weight and provide a full range of pressure/tuning options.

• 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 and warning lights. Like we said, it’s deluxe.

• 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.

• HAND & THUMB WARMERS

  Say goodbye to cold hands. Our hand and thumb warmers provide plenty of warmth and comfort on long rides.

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

  This lightweight, 153″ single-ply track with a 3″ pitch 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″ lug height.

• HCR-TYPE HEAT EXCHANGER

  Proven on our HCR model for the past four seasons, this exchanger is nearly 4 lbs. lighter than full-length versions. Plus it reduces snow build up to reduce even more weight.

• 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

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

• LIGHTWEIGHT BRAKE DISC

  For improved performance, we’ve made the rotor 12% larger, yet 60% lighter. That translates to more confidence for rugged backcountry riding.

• 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.

• 5.5" RACE-HEIGHT WINDSHIELD

  With its sporty look and enough protection for the track, this windshield’s low profile allows you to see everything as you lead the pack.
