LIGHTWEIGHT BUT POWERFUL
600-Series C-TEC2 Engine
This robust, yet lightweight 599cc, 125-HP C-TEC2™ engine with Dual-Stage Injection (DSI) offers more than enough power to conquer the trails, while keeping the sled feeling weightless.
Featuring an ECM-controlled electronic oil pump, battery-free electronic fuel injection, exhaust pipe temperature sensor, knock sensor and more, this 600-series engine packs a serious punch. The crankshaft and fuel management system have been redesigned, and the exhaust servo increases torque by creating back-pressure at a lower RPM.The 599cc, 125-HP CTEC2 engine with DSI is mounted with our Torque Control Link (TCL) and a clutch guard.
SMOOTH POWER DELIVERY
ADAPT CVT SYSTEM
With its lightweight, narrow design that increases performance and belt life, as well as the industry’s only self-adjusting clutch, the ADAPT CVT system provides better throttle response, smoother power delivery, and a ride like no other.
A premium LED headlight is crucial to optimize your visibility. Equipped with both high and low beams, this headlight casts an LED light pattern with great range and width. Plus, with it’s unique asymmetrical design, everyone will know that you’re on an Arctic Cat.
NO ROUGH RIDES
SLIDE-ACTION™ REAR SUSPENSION
Rough rides are a thing of the past. With this industry-exclusive design that keeps the front arm engaged while the rear arm compresses, you’ll hardly feel a bump in the trail.
Unlock the true potential of a coupled suspension with our unique SLIDE-ACTION design. The front arm fits into a U-shaped slot that allows 0.5 inches of sliding movement, so the front arm won’t collapse whenever the rear arm compresses. That unique design gives you the full benefit of coupling: controlled ski lift during acceleration and the complete use of the front arm at all times. SLIDE-ACTION suspension also allows a lower and more consistent track tension with its Torque-Sensing Link, plus three-position rear coupling block adjustability, adjustable spring preload and a durable 3-wheel rear axle assembly.
READY TO GO
Electric or Manual Start
The convenience of electric start is just one of the countless things that sets the ZR 600 R-XC apart. With just the push of a handlebar-mounted button you’ll be up and moving. If you’re looking to drop even more weight from this already lightweight sled, you can also opt for a manual starter.
RIDE BOLDLY
Redesigned Running Boards
With the industry’s first low thermal conductive running boards, snow buildup is a thing of the past. These newly redesigned running boards prevent snow from sticking to minimize additional weight and improve durability.
PEAK PERFORMANCE UNLOCKED
CATALYST Chassis
The revolutionary CATALYST platform has been built from the ground up to optimize every aspect of your ride, so much so that you’ll feel like you’re one with your sled. With enhanced ergonomics, a lower center of gravity, our exclusive laydown engine design, specially calibrated suspension and more, this changes everything.
These lightweight ski shocks are designed to move comfortably and adjust easily, offering you a plush ride with enhanced control. They easily neutralize any bumps in the trail, bringing out a snowmobile experience like no other.
CONFIDENCE-INSPIRING CONTROL
AWS 42 Front Suspension
The AWS 42 Front Suspension is engineered specifically to compliment the ZR 600. With ratio steering to reduce rider effort, you’ll experience more control.
AWS 42 is the culmination of over 40 years of experience with the Arctic Wish Suspension, optimized for trail riding. By centralizing the weight distribution, the suspension now sits directly under the rider, giving them more flexibility to move around on the sled, as well as giving them more control. This also puts more of the sled’s weight on the skis, improving balance.
With a progressive steering ratio, riders will feel the difference immediately. The sled will react to the slightest movement, making the ZR 600 feel like a natural extension of the rider’s body.
QUICKLY CONNECT
ATACH 4-Point Latching System
Adding accessories to your sled is a snap with this all new 4-point latching system. You can install and remove accessories in seconds, so no matter where you are, you can customize your sled with ease.
