For those who like to fly down the trail or explore the backcountry, RIOT 8000 offers the best of both worlds. The sled's CROSS-ACTION suspension complements the powerful 8000 Series,165HP-class engine for the perfect balance of suspension and power.

Our Riot allows you to handle the trails and the backcountry with superior ease and control. Our powerful 8000-Series C-TEC2, 794cc engine, with FOX rear shocks to provide a smooth ride anywhere.

CAPABILITIES:

CROSS-ACTION REAR SUSPENSION: The CROSS-ACTION skidframe creates a playful ride quality, with more weight transfer during acceleration, great performance in deep snow, and outstanding comfort and traction over big bumps in all snow conditions. Arctic Cat's Torque-Sensing Link allows a lower and more consistent track tension, plus you get an adjustable spring preload and a 3-wheel rear axle assembly. The CROSS-ACTION suspension offers 13.5 inches of travel and comes in a 146-inch length with ice-scratchers.

ADAPT CVT SYSTEM: Lightweight narrow design that increases performance and belt life. The Arctic Cat ADAPT CVT system provides improved throttle response and smooth power delivery.

ARS™ II FRONT SUSPENSION: The next generation of Arctic Race Suspension (ARS) is here. ARS II gives you better bite on corners and increased ground clearance to deliver more confidence on- or off-trail. We made the forged aluminum spindles 1.5 inches taller from the ski to the lower arm and gave it more rigid upper A-Arms. Plus, a revised geometry delivers a new roll-center and adjustable cambers, and a swaybar makes for flatter, more predictable cornering on hardpack trails.

G2 PROCLIMB™ 7 MOUNTAIN SKI: This lightweight ski is contoured for easier steering, and integrates with the AMS spindles for better deep-snow performance.

ADJUSTABLE SKI STANCE: Easily adjust your ski stance --from 41.5- to 43.5 inches for maximum adaptability.

REINFORCED RUNNING BOARDS: Big air means big impact, which is why Riot's running boards are reinforced with an extrusion for added rigidity.

60TH ANNIVERSARY DECAL: Celebrate 60 years of Arctic Cat with this commemorative decal.
