2018 Arctic Cat M 6000 141

Description

• NEW ASCENDER PLATFORM WITH NEXT-GEN MOUNTAIN BODY PANELS

  The Ascender platform brings a whole new way to attack the mountain. Running boards are 1 in. narrower than previous designs and the overall profile is 10% narrower for improved side-hill performance, improved venting and ease of laying the sled over in deep snow. The revised bellypan shape allows the rider’s feet to move 2 inches further forward for even greater ergonomic options for riding. The drive shaft dropped 1.125 inches allows for a 9.7º lowered approach angle providing more maneuverability and the ability to get up and stay up on the snow. Improved fit and finish with easy on/off one-piece body panels allow easy access to the engine compartment and brings a distinctive Arctic Cat styling.

• 1.125" DROPPED DRIVESHAFT

  Like the 2017 Mountain Cat, this 2018 M 8000 Sno Pro is fitted with the 1.125″ dropped driveshaft. The increased track-to-tunnel clearance of 3″ allows us to use 8-tooth drive sprockets on this model, giving you a flatter approach angle with more floatability and maneuverability. In addition, you’ll also notice a huge difference in your sled handling. This update delivers a more efficient power transfer to the snow, letting you enjoy more horsepower when climbing, carving, sidehilling and boondocking.

• 6000 C-TEC2 ENGINE WITH DSI

  This 599cc 2-stroke DSI is the unmodified version of the engine that’s been launching Team Arctic down the racetrack since 2012. This quick-revving, 125-class horsepower C-TEC2™ power mill is the product of a world-class engine assembly plant — ours. Whether you’re riding a ZR® an M or a Crossover, the 6000 is one of the most satisfying engines found in a snowmobile.

• ARCTIC DRIVE SYSTEM WITH TEAM RAPID RESPONSE II DRIVE AND TEAM RAPID REACTION BOSS DRIVEN CLUTCHES

  The Arctic Drive System™ features a lightweight magnesium chaincase. The new TEAM® Rapid Response II™ drive clutch features an auto-adjusting belt tension design that delivers consistent performance without manual adjustments. It also features a 12.5% lower effective starting ratio while maintaining the top ratio for smoother engagement and reduced belt wear at drive-away speed.

• ARCTIC MOUNTAIN FRONT SUSPENSION WITH ARCTIC CAT GAS IFP 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. Arctic Cat 1.5 IFP gas shocks feature a hard-anodized aluminum body, 0.5″ shaft, aluminum internal floating piston, and high-quality seals and ice scrapers. For added strength, the eyelet on the shaft end is forged, replacing the welded design.

• FLOAT ACTION REAR SUSPENSION WITH ARCTIC CAT IFP 1.5 SHOCKS

  The FLOAT-ACTION rear suspension’s unique tri-hub rear axle system is engineered to be very light and very strong. The Arctic Cat 1.5 IFP coil-over shocks provide preload adjustment and are proven on the hill for reliability and stability.

• 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 and reverse indicator.

• 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.

• ELECTRIC START

  This is just the thing for consistent, reliable starting. A simple turn of the key is all you need to get up and running.

• HAND & THUMB WARMERS

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

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

  The one that sets the standard for deep snow performance. Available in 15″ x 141″ x 2.6″ or 15″ x 153″ x 2.6″, this track features stagger-set, curved-forward paddle towers that won’t fold over or take a set.

• 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

  The 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.

• VERTICAL STEERING POST, 4.5" RISER WITH ADJUSTABLE 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.
