With lightweight spindles and a precision engineered suspension geometry designed specifically with mountain riding in mind, the Mountain Cat is the ultimate ride for deep snow performance. Arctic Mountain Suspension is tailor-made to maneuver in deep snow. The lightweight, forged-aluminum spindles sit at a 27 degree spindle caster angle, providing optimal ski camber for off-trail cornering and more predictable counter-steering when side-hilling. They’re built to reduce drag, while the dual-phase alloy-steel A-arms are lightweight and durable.
• INSTANT SUSPENSION CONTROL - ATAC ON-THE-FLY SUSPENSION: No more getting off your snowmobile to adjust your suspension. Easily switch between soft, medium, and firm suspension settings with the push of a handlebar-mounted button and watch the system immediately adjust your suspension. Available on select models.

• ENHANCED TRACTION - POWER CLAW™ TRACK: Unlock the backcountry with Power Claw™, a lightweight track that delivers the ultimate deep snow traction and performance. It's easier than ever to slice straight through deep snow. Power Claw Track is built lightweight, with a single-ply design and a 2.86-inch pitch for a 2.6-inch lug height and a 3.5-inch pitch for a 3.0-inch lug height track — all so you can master deep snow runs.
