Arctic Cat has released its 2026 model year linup MSRP pricing ahead of a coming May custom order window.
Arctic Cat was recently sold off from Textron, reported last Thursday in Textron's Q1 financial report. Following that news, it was announced that a private investor group had acquired Arctic Cat and named Brad Darling––a former Arctic Cat executive previous to the Textron ownership––would serve as CEO. Darling also serves as CEO of Argo XTV.
The newly-revived Arctic Cat company released a full model year 2026 lineup Friday monring to the snowmobile media. Our report on that lineup release can be found here.
For the mountians, the Catalyst platform returns with three models: M 600/858 Sno Pro, HCX 858 and HCR 858. A twin-rail rear suspension is now available in both the HCX and HCR models, while the M Sno Pro retains the popular Alpha One single-rail deep-snow suspension. All Sno Pro models come in one colorway: Black/Dusk Purple.
The M Sno Pro will be offered with AC5S shocks and either 600 or 858 engine packages, though there are just two options for the 600. You can get the M 600 Sno Pro in a 146x2.6 or a 154x2.6 track configuration. Both versions are only available in electric start (ES) and with the sport gauge display. The 2026 M 600 Sno Pro 146 MSRP is $15,999 while the 2026 M 600 Sno Pro 154 MSRP is $16,199.
The M 858 Sno Pro will be available in 12 configurations, with the differences being track length (154 or 165), track lug height (2.6-inch or 3.0-inch on 154 models; 3.0-inch on 165 models), two gauge options (sport gauge or AC G8 display gauge) and either electric start or manual start. the 2026 M 858 Sno Pro 154 2.6 manual start with sport gauge has an MSRP of $17,649 while the M 858 Sno Pro 165 3.0 electric start carries the highest MSRP of the Sno Pro lineup at $19,999. All Sno Pro models feature AC5S shocks, AWS 36 front end, vertical steering and Alpha One rear suspension.
The 2026 HCX comes in just one configuration: 858 engine, 146x2.6 track and Float Action twin-rail rear suspension, sport gauge, Fox FLOAT QS3 shocks, tunnel-length heat exchanger, AWS 36 front suspension with laydown steering post and a Black/Silver colorway. MSRP is $17,799.
Likewise, the 2026 HCR is offered in just one configuration: 858 engine, 154x2.6 track and Float Action twin-rail rear suspension with braces, sport gauge, Fox QS3 coil shocks, AWS 36 front suspension with vertical steering post and a Black/Gold colorway. MSRP is $17,999.
The remaining mountian model is the 2026 M 400. This "entry level" model features a 400cc engine, 15x146x2-inch track, Alpa One rear suspension, twin tube shocks, AMS 36 front suspension, electric start and is offered in the Black/Dusk Purple colorway. MSRP is $9,999.
