2016 Arctic Cat® M 8000 Limited ES (153)

• 8000 2-STROKE ENGINE

160-class HP makes this 794cc 2-stroke 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.

• ARCTIC DRIVE SYSTEM WITH TEAM CLUTCHES

New for 2016, the Arctic Drive System™ incorporates a large TEAM BOSS driven clutch and TEAM drive clutch. By eliminating belt skid, these clutches reduce temperature and transfer more power to the track. In addition to their incredible strength, these clutches are known for their easy and precise tuning.

• FLOAT-ACTION REAR SUSPENSION

Unique tri-hub rear axle system is engineered to be very light and very strong. Front-arm FOX FLOAT® 3 EVOL and rear-arm FOX FLOAT 3 EVOL R shocks provide lightweight strength and infinite adjustability for a precise ride.

• ARCTIC MOUNTAIN FRONT SUSPENSION

Arctic Mountain Suspension (AMS) is all-new for 2016, from it’s single-post spindles set to a 27-degree caster angle for better sidehilling, to the 2.4-lb. weight savings in the A-arms and 7-in. tapered skis. All that plus a narrower 36-in. stance. FOX® 3 EVOL shocks cushion aggressive bumps and smooth out even the harshest ruts.

• NARROWER 35.5-38.5 ADJUSTABLE SKI STANCE

The narrower ski stance (adjustable: 35.5-in.–38.5-in.) makes it easier to pick your line and own it. It’s easier to carve, easier to initiate a sidehill, easier to navigate through the trees. And it’s never been easier to handle.
