POWER TO SPARE
165HP- or 200HP-Class Engines
Whether you want to cruise the trail or carve the backcountry, RIOT is available with a 794cc 165HP-class engine or a 988cc turbo-charged 200HP-class engine.
Playful, Comfortable Ride
CROSS-ACTION Rear Suspension
The uncoupled CROSS-ACTION rear suspension provides unparalleled agility from powder to hardpack. The design enables the front and rear halves of the suspension to move independently, so riders enjoy excellent cornering and bump absorption on the trail, as well as off-trail weight transfer.
SMOOTH PERFORMANCE
ADAPT CVT
The lightweight, durable ADAPT CVT System is the only self-adjusting clutch available on a stock sled. ADAPT has an idler bearing that keeps belt temperature down, helping belts stay tighter and giving you a smoother takeoff and consistent power delivery at slow speeds.
CONFIDENCE-INSPIRING HANDLING
ARS II Front Suspension
The race-proven ARS™ II front suspension delivers superior cornering and more ground clearance for an even better ride ride on- or off-trail. The forged aluminum spindles are 1.5 inches taller from ski to the lower arm, and it features rigid upper A-Arms for optimal control and durability.
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.
Go Wide or Narrow
Adjustable Ski Stance
An adjustable 41.5- to 43.5-inch ski stance provides the flexibility to ride in a wide variety of snow conditions. Narrow it up for better agility in the backcountry or widen it out for a flatter, more stable trail ride.
Big Air-Worthy
Reinforced Running Boards
With new rugged styling and improved durability, the RIOT's running boards are reinforced with an extrusion for extra rigidity and are designed to take the impact when you send it.
Versatile Suspension
ATAC Adjustable On-the-Fly Suspension
The ATAC Adjustable On-the-Fly Suspension immediately adjusts the FOX® ZERO iQS shocks with the push of a button to navigate changing snow conditions. Choose between two rider profiles, three firmness settings and engage lockout mode to ride your way. Available on select models.
