Vehicle Information
Arctic Cat Cougar 500 Snowmobile (1985-1990)
The Arctic Cat Cougar 500, produced from 1985 to 1990, was a popular snowmobile consistently powered by a 500cc (or 499cc) fan-cooled Suzuki twin engine. This model was significant for introducing Arctic Cat's innovative AFS (Arctic Front Suspension) system in 1985, which repositioned the engine for improved handling, offering 7.5 inches of front travel and a wider 37-inch ski stance. While the 1985 model's horsepower was not explicitly rated at 56 hp like the 1986-1989 models, the 1990 Cougar 500 saw an increase to approximately 62 hp, alongside refined engineering including a beefier crankshaft for enhanced durability. Trims varied, with a Cougar SE in 1985 and a Cougar Mountain Cat in 1990. Frequently Asked Questions:
