2022 Arctic Cat ZR 9000 THUNDERCAT EPS ARS II QS3
ADAPT CVT clutch system
The ADAPT CVT is a new clutch system that comes standard with Thunder Cat and enhances its performance. With its lightweight and narrow design, the ADAPT CVT system improves throttle response and smooths out the power delivery. That really helps control this 998cc turbo charged monster of a motor. Another feature of the new clutch system is there’s no more adjusting the secondary clutch for belt deflection. The ADAPT system automatically adjusts to maintain constant tension and height as the belt wears. This helps improve performance, minimize wear, and extend belt life.
Electric Power Steering (EPS)
Electric Power Steering (EPS) is a new feature for the Thundercat. While it doesn’t come standard, after trying it out, I would definitely add it to my sled if I were ordering one. The power steering is an absolute game changer for a big horsepower sled. At slow speeds, the power steering is at a higher percentage and barely has any resistance—I was steering the sled with two fingers at slow speeds. Then, as you increase the speed, the power steering system lowers the percentage of input, so you don’t over steer, while increasing feel for the sled and conditions. The engineers at Arctic Cat did a great job adjusting the power steering percentages as speed increase or decreases. When you ride the Thundercat with the EPS feature, it feels extremely smooth and refined. That’s not easy to do with any sled, especially the (their claim, not mine) most powerful production sled in the world.

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.

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.

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.
