2023 Arctic Cat ZR 9000 THUNDERCAT LEGENDARY POWER

9000-SERIES C-TEC4 TURBOCHARGED ENGINE

ZR Thundercat doesn't mess around, with our biggest, most powerful engine. The 9000-series C-TEC4 turbocharged three-cylinder engine delivers max horsepower in any conditions.

The ultimate 4-stroke powerhouse, it produces 200HP-class performance at 8750 RPM. This 998cc engine features ultra-quick throttle and turbo response from an intercooled turbo, plus a DOHC design that’s matched with 4-hole fuel injectors to create maximum performance with minimal weight.

You also get engine braking control via an idle speed circuit and engine mapping, lightweight aluminum cylinders, and a press forged crankshaft.

2023 Arctic Cat ZR 9000 THUNDERCAT INTUITIVE HANDLING

ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING

Now with Electronic Power Steering (EPS), this is a next-level experience. Unmatched control, easier turns, and intuitive handling will upgrade your ride more than you could imagine.

2023 Arctic Cat ZR 9000 THUNDERCAT 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.

2023 Arctic Cat ZR 9000 THUNDERCAT ADAPTS TO TERRAIN

FOX® ZERO IQS SHOCKS

No matter your riding style — or what the day brings —  FOX ZERO iQS shocks will be ready.

Featuring three compression settings (soft, medium and firm) that can be easily adjusted with a dial mounted on the remote reservoir or with a push of a handlebar-mounted button (on models with ATAC), FOX ZERO iQS shocks are built for changing terrain. Their remote reservoir delivers fade-free runs, while coil-over springs even out the bumpiest rides. Available in 1.5- or 2.0-inch diameters.

2023 Arctic Cat ZR 9000 THUNDERCAT CONFIDENCE-INSPIRING CONTROL

ARS™ II FRONT SUSPENSION

The next level of Arctic Race Suspension (ARS) is here. ARS II gives you better bite on corners and increased ground clearance to deliver more confidence on- or off-trail. We made the forged aluminum spindles 1.5 inches taller from the ski to the lower arm, and gave it more rigid upper A-Arms. Plus, a revised geometry delivers a new roll-center and adjustable cambers, and a swaybar makes for flatter, more predictable cornering on hard pack trails. 

2023 Arctic Cat ZR 9000 THUNDERCAT NO ROUGH RIDES

137" SLIDE-ACTION™ REAR SUSPENSION

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. 

2023 Arctic Cat ZR 9000 THUNDERCAT QUICK AND CONVENIENT

PUSH-BUTTON ELECTRIC START

The convenience of electric start is just one of the countless things that sets the Thundercat apart. With just the push of a handlebar-mounted button, you'll be on your way.

2023 Arctic Cat ZR 9000 THUNDERCAT EASY ACCESS

GOGGLE HOLDER

Never lose your goggles again. The integrated goggle holder mounted directly in the dash keeps a critical piece of gear safe and easily accessible.

2023 Arctic Cat ZR 9000 THUNDERCAT BRIGHTEN ANY RIDE

LED HEADLIGHT

A premium LED headlight is crucial for those night rides. Equipped with both high and low-beams, the headlight casts an LED light pattern with great range and width.

2023 Arctic Cat ZR 9000 THUNDERCAT ADJUSTS TO TRAIL CONDITIONS

ADJUSTABLE 42"-43" SKI STANCE

With an adjustable 42-43 inch ski stance, you'll be able to customize your ride even further. Easily set your ski stance based on trail conditions and immediately feel the difference.

2023 Arctic Cat ZR 9000 THUNDERCAT ENHANCED ACCELERATION

1.25" RIPSAW II™ TRACK

The Ripsaw's angled lugs helps the Thundercat grip the trail. The chopped design provides unbelievable levels of handling and acceleration.

2023 Arctic Cat ZR 9000 THUNDERCAT INSTANT SUSPENSION CONTROL

ATAC ON-THE-FLY SUSPENSION

No more getting off your snowmobile to adjust your suspension settings. Easily switch between soft, medium, and firm suspension settings with the push of a handlebar-mounted button and watch the system immediately adjust your suspension. Available on select models.
