2015 Arctic Cat® M 8000 153

Features

Mountain Rear Suspension: The 153-in. mountain rear suspension with tri-hub rear axle system was engineered to be very light and very strong. It is always ready to be put to the test.

Arctic Race Front Suspension: Standard mountain sleds feature softer Arctic Cat® (IFP) shocks employing a hard-anodized aluminum body. A forged eyelet on the shaft end is just one example of the high-quality construction of this Arctic-designed shock.

8000 2-Stroke Engine: 160-class HP makes it 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.

ProClimb™ Chassis: We need it to be as light as possible without sacrificing strength. The upper spar assembly design is the answer, proving itself on the scales and on the mountain. Shock mounts transfer energy directly to the spar assembly, the strongest point of the chassis. Rider position is ideal.

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.

Digital/Analog Gauge w/Altimeter: Choose between digital and analog speed and tachometer readouts. There's also an altimeter, odometer, two trip meters, engine hour meter, reverse indicator and warning lights.

Mountain Skis: Lighter with an increased keel depth for increased cornering traction. They also feature molded-in "gripper" traction on the top side and a ski loop design that is stiffer and provides better hand ergonomics.

2.25 in. Power Claw™ Track: Made for the deep stuff, this track with 2.25-in. lugs sinks its teeth into the powder with great ferocity, propelling you up, down or side to side with sure-footed accuracy.
