PLENTY OF POWER TO PLAY
4000-Series, 2-Stroke EFI Engine
A 397cc single-cylinder 2-stroke engine with 65-class horsepower and Electronic Fuel Injection offers quicker, more responsive power that gives you a smoother take off every time.
397CC, LIQUID-COOLED, 2-STROKE EFI ENGINE WITH 65+HP
With an industry-first design that’s compact and lightweight (under 50 pounds), this EFI engine brings 65HP (397cc) performance to every ride. A 3-stage exhaust valve system takes this power to the next level, delivering improved throttle response and better overall engine performance. As a liquid-cooled engine, it thrives in low-snow conditions – and a counter balance shaft eliminates most engine vibration. The result: a lightweight-but-mighty power source that powers the ride like no other.
APROVEN SUSPENSION
Arctic Mountain Suspension
The Arctic Mountain Suspension (AMS) is built specifically to navigate through deep snow. With lightweight spindles and precision engineered suspension geometry designed with mountain riding in mind, AMS optimizes your performance in deep snow.
AMS is our proven, lightweight rear suspension system utilized on all of our full-size mountain sleds. This system keeps the sled nimble in the varying snow conditions of the backcountry and provides optimal off-trail cornering, as well as more predictable counter steering when side-hilling. Paired with front and back hydraulic twin tube shocks, AMS provides excellent bump absorption. Plus, 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 durable dual-phase alloy-steel A-arms are tailor-made to maneuver in deep snow.
UNPRECEDENTED MANEUVERABILITY
ALPHA ONE Single-Beam Rear Suspension
ALPHA ONE Suspension is the only single-beam rear suspension in the industry, providing enhanced agility on the mountain. The lightweight, single-beam design provides nimble action allowing riders to maneuver the sled and carve tighter circles with less effort than conventional, dual-rail snowmobiles.
SMOOTH POWER DELIVERY
Arctic Drive System
The durable Arctic Drive System has a CVTech Trailbloc drive clutch and CVTech Invance driven clutch to deliver power to the snow. It also provides more low-end power and throttle control, which is needed when navigating deep snow.
LIGHT AND NIMBLE
Mid-Sized Chassis
The mid-sized BLAST chassis is extremely lightweight, making it agile and easy to handle, no matter your skill level. With a lightweight mountain seat and a short tank, this sled makes transferring weight while cornering effortless.
EASIER STEERING
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 the AMS spindles for easier steering and better deep snow performance.
CAPABLE, EFFORTLESS HANDLING
Best-in-Class Power-to-Weight Ratio
This snowmobile is easy to maneuver with plenty of power to rip through the deep snow. The 65+HP-class C-TEC2™, 397cc engine is paired with a lightweight chassis for a best-in-class power-to-weight ratio.
RELIABLE TRACTION
Challenger 146-inch track
The Challenger 146-inch track with 2-inch lug offers the traction needed to conquer varying mountain snow conditions. Its benchmark lug design is versatile for all-around performance and features a saw-tooth lug for additional grip on hard, wind-blown and springtime snow.
GREAT VISIBILITY
Race Height Windshield
The BLAST M features a low-profile, 4-in. race-height windshield. It offers the visibility needed to weave through the trees or size up the next big jump while offering wind protection when you need it.
READY TO GO
Turn-Key Electric Start
Simply sit down and take off. The BLAST M features a turn-key electric start, so there’s no need to pull-start this mountain sled.
