2024 Arctic Cat® Riot X 8000

2024 Arctic Cat® Riot 8000 with ATAC

Why choose between the thrills of on-trail riding and the adventure of venturing into the deep snow when you can have both? Riot blends trail and backcountry performance seamlessly for the ultimate adaptable ride.

Features may include:

• 8000-SERIES C-TEC2™ ENGINE

This twin-cylinder, 165-class horsepower engine will carry you through the toughest climbs and the biggest jumps all day long, all while packing a serious punch.

• CROSS-ACTION Rear Suspension

The uncoupled CROSS-ACTION rear suspension provides unparalleled agility from powder to hardpack. The design enables the front and rear halves of the suspension to move independently, so riders enjoy excellent cornering and bump absorption on the trail, as well as off-trail weight transfer.

• ADAPT CVT SYSTEM

The lightweight, durable ADAPT™ CVT System is the industry's only self-adjusting clutch. ADAPT has an idler bearing that keeps belt temperature down, helping belts stay tighter and giving you a smoother takeoff and consistent power delivery at slow speeds.

• ARS™ II Front Suspension

The race-proven ARS II front suspension delivers superior cornering and more ground clearance for an even better ride - on or off trail. The forged aluminum spindles are 1.5 inches taller from ski to the lower arm, and it features rigid upper A-Arms for optimal control and durability.

• G2 ProClimb Skis

The lightweight G2 ProClimb™ 7-inch mountain ski is tapered to stay on top of the snow. The ski works in tandem with front suspension spindles for easier steering and better deep snow performance.

• Adjustable Ski Stance

An adjustable 41.5- to 43.5-inch ski stance provides the flexibility to ride in a wide variety of snow conditions. Narrow it up for better agility in the backcountry or widen it out for a flatter, more stable trail ride.

• Reinforced Running Boards

With new rugged styling and improved durability, Riot's running boards are reinforced with an extrusion for extra rigidity and are designed to take the impact when you send it.

• ATAC® Adjustable On-the-Fly Suspension

The ATAC® Adjustable On-the-Fly Suspension immediately adjusts the FOX® ZERO iQS shocks with the push of a button to navigate changing snow conditions. Choose between two rider profiles, three firmness settings and engage lockout mode to ride your way.

• Electric Start

The convenience of electric start is just one of the countless things that sets the Riot apart. With just the push of a handlebar-mounted button you’ll be up and moving.

• LED Headlight

A premium LED headlight is crucial to optimize your visibility. Equipped with both high and low beams, this headlight casts an LED light pattern with great range and width.
