New Hand Controls
Most 2019 Arctic Cat snowmobiles feature new handlebar-mounted controls that are easier to use while riding, with improved ergonomics, and that transmit visible information on the digital instrument gauge. A button on the handlebar controls now toggles the display screen on the gauge. A new push-to-start button (that doubles as the Reverse button) on 6000 and 8000 Series models allows the rider to keep both hands on the handlebars while starting models equipped with electric start. Momentary-style hand and thumb-warmer switches provide more heat level settings and also prevent unintended setting changes.
Magnetic Tether Switch
Most 2019 Arctic Cat snowmobiles will come equipped with a new tether switch in addition to the ignition key. The all-new tether uses magnetic connectivity (instead of a plunger) to enable the engine to run.
Deluxe Digital Gauge
The Deluxe Digital gauge features two operator-configurable displays, with information available for: speed; rpm; maximum rpm; clock; altimeter; odometer; hours; Trip 1; Trip 2; coolant temperature; exhaust temperature; intake air temperature; voltage; and fuel level.
G2 ProClimb-7 Skis
New for 2019, the G2 ProClimb-7 skis feature a new shape that delivers improved flotation with a slightly less aggressive keel shape for easier steering and more consistent performance in varying snow conditions. Molded-in foot traction on the top of the skis adds boot traction and usability for experienced riders. The new G2 skis work in concert with the AMS spindles to deliver a new level of deep snow performance and adjustability. They incorporate a tapered width, from 7 inches at the tip to 6.5 inches in the middle, which works with a unique rubber dampener to keep the ski tips up and floating on top of the snow while preventing diving or knifing into the snow. A wide ski saddle accommodates a full 2 inches of lateral ski stance adjustability.
Push-Button Reverse
Arctic Cat snowmobiles are equipped with electronic push-button reverse systems for quick, easy activation. The 8000- and 6000-Series engines utilize engine reverse technology, also activated by a push-button.
Single Front Heat Exchanger
All M Series models incorporate the lightweight, single, front- mounted heat exchanger. The system is nearly 4 lbs. lighter than a full-length heat exchanger and results in the least amount of snow and slush retention during riding, helping the M Series maintain their real-world weight savings advantage. All M Series snowmobiles also come standard with ice-scratchers.
