Features may include:
A New Breed of PowerThe 858 two-stroke engine is designed for seamless integration into the new CATALYST platform. With an 8% increase in displacement, this engine houses an 11% increase in output over the C-TEC2 800 and weighs 4% less. It features an optimized air intake system, a new exhaust valve design for more consistent power and cleaner emissions, and an all-new crankcase for increased stroke and integrated engine mounts.
Peak Performance UnlockedThe revolutionary CATALYST platform has been built from the ground up to optimize every aspect of your ride, so much so that you’ll feel at one with the sled. With enhanced ergonomics, a lower center of gravity, our exclusive laydown engine design, specially calibrated suspension and more, this changes everything.
Keep Yourself PlantedThe twin rail braced suspension is built for one thing: carving and climbing with control. With two braced rails, it delivers a solid, predictable feel that keeps the track straight and the power locked in — even when the hill gets rutted, windblown or near vertical. Compared to single rail setups, it’s less flickable but more planted — perfect for riders who’d rather hold the line than play around it.
Optimized for Deep SnowThe AWS 36 Front Suspension was designed specifically with the 858 in mind. With lightweight spindles and precision engineered geometry, this suspension system optimizes your performance in deep snow.
Increased DurabilityThe CATALYST platform utilizes Arctic Cat's belt drive system rather than a chain drive. This allows for enhanced durability and fewer parts in the system. The adjustable center distance allows for multiple ratio options and makes servicing simple. Additionally, the track included with the AC Mountain Belt Drive ensures that the sled gets up on the snow quicker, avoiding trenching issues.
