There are some revisions to steering posts, too. The previous Arctic Cat mountain skidframe caused inconsistent track tension as it cycled through its travel but moving the front arm’s rail mount point up about 1 inch helped fix that problem, Arctic Cat engineer Troy Halvorson said. The new Float-Action rear suspension incorporates new front torque arm geometry and rail geometry for an extra inch of travel, better ride quality and more consistent track tension. A wider ski saddle allows 4 inches of adjustment so riders can set the stance from 34.5 inches to 38.5 inches. A new rubber damper between the saddle and spindle was designed to keep the ski tips up while also reducing stuffing or knifing into the snow pack. The ProClimb-7 is 7 inches wide at the tip but tapers to 6.5 inches in the middle. The spindles are also slimmer, sleeker and angle toward the body for less drag as the machine cuts through the snow, and the whole A-arm/spindle package comes in 2.4 pounds lighter, Arctic Cat claims.Ī new ski with a deeper keel will be bolted to the new spindles. They also changed rear suspension geometry for more consistent track tension and achieved a better ride. Spindle caster angle with the new Arctic Mountain Suspension (AMS) has increased 10 degrees for 2016 – meaning the tops of the spindles are tilted back more.
To achieve a lighter feel and improve off-trail handling for all 2016 M models, Arctic Cat engineers developed new spindles and A-arms for the front suspension and created new skis. 2016 Arctic Cat Snowmobiles: Improved M Series Front Suspension Improvements for all 2016 Arctic Cat M Series sleds include new spindles, A-arms, skis and rear suspension. The utility class gets considerable upgrades, too.
The XF crossover lineup gets further specialization with the expansion of the ProTour chassis and a new model for the adventure class.
ZR models will be available with a 137-inch track, some models get new Fox shocks and most models will get new TEAM clutches. Highlights include significant updates applied to the the entire M Series lineup for less weight and better performance in deep snow. Arctic Cat has pulled the wraps off of its lineup of 2016 snowmobiles.
