2018 Arctic Cat PANTERA 6000 ES

Description

• QUICK-RELEASE BODY PANELS

  These new one-piece body panels radically improve venting. The two quick-release tabs provide easy access to the engine compartment for general maintenance.

• NEXT-GEN BODY PANELS

  Arctic Cat’s Next-Gen body panels are designed to seamlessly cut through the air with as little atmospheric tension as possible. With only a quarter-turn of the two quick-release tabs, the side panel comes off and provides easy access to the engine compartment for general maintenance.

• 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 DRIVE AND TEAM RAPID RESPONSE 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 RACE FRONT SUSPENSION WITH ARCTIC CAT GAS IFP SHOCKS

  The Arctic Race front suspension’s geometry was developed through racing. Our unique wide A-arm spacing complements the chassis design, which allows us to maintain a tighter suspension. Arctic Cat gas IFP 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.

• SLIDE-ACTION REAR SUSPENSION WITH ARCTIC CAT IFP SHOCKS

  Our SLIDE-ACTION Rear Suspension incorporates a U-shaped front-arm slot that fits over a shaft bolted across the tunnel. This creates a half-inch of sliding movement, which keeps the front arm from torque locking and helps keep the skis planted during acceleration. Add in our Arctic Cat (IFP) shocks and you’ve got comfort and confidence even in the bumpiest conditions.

• 146-IN. COBRA™ TRACK WITH 1.35-IN. LUGS

  The 146-in. Cobra track’s cupped lug design delivers superior handling, acceleration and braking in loose snow conditions. Its traction teeth add extra grip on hard-packed surfaces. The 1.35-in. paddles provide that extra traction needed when you find yourself blazing your own path.

• 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.

• POWER SPORT GAUGE

  All the information. All at your fingertips. There’s an odometer, trip meter, speedometer, engine hour, clock, fuel level indicator, reverse and warning lights, keeping you in tune with your machine.

• PUSH-BUTTON REVERSE

  Just a push of a button allows you to go from forward to reverse and back again smoothly, quickly and easily.

• ADJUSTABLE BACKREST

  Looking for more comfort on long rides? This easy-to-adjust backrest allows you to dial in the just right amount of support.

• HEATED DRIVER'S SEAT

  With our heated driver’s seat, you stay warm and comfortable even on long rides.

• PROTOUR - 6 SKIS

  6″ wide plastic skis deliver excellent handling on hard-pack conditions and great flotation in loose snow. A stiffer and deeper keel provides more positive cornering in all conditions.

• MIRRORS

  Not all mirrors are the same. Ours are heavy-duty, built to last and made to withstand whatever winter throws at them.

• PASSENGER WIND DEFLECTORS

  Cold wind and hands don’t get along. These will help deflect that wind to keep your passenger’s hands nice and warm.

• REAR COMPARTMENT STORAGE

  Whether it’s water, snacks or gloves, here’s a good place to store it. The compartment also includes a belt holder so your spare belt is always secure and out of the way.

• 17" HIGH-HEIGHT WINDSHIELD WITH MIRRORS

  The extra-high windshield tames the wind out in the great white open, while the mirrors make backing up easy as ever.

• REAR ACCESSORY OUTLET

  Conveniently placed to easily power up whatever you need.

• VISOR PLUG-INS

  If you’ve got a heated helmet visor, we give you the outlets you need to plug in and get rid of that visor fog.
