Vehicle Information
Arctic Cat ZL 580 Snowmobile (2000)
The 2000 Arctic Cat ZL 580 was a popular snowmobile, known for its excellent balance of power, comfort, and reliability, making it a favorite among trail riders. This model featured a robust 580cc 2-stroke engine, with the primary trim being the ZL580 EFI ESR, indicating Electronic Fuel Injection, Electric Start, and Reverse. It was built on Arctic Cat's AWS V front suspension and the FasTrack Long Travel System rear suspension, ensuring a smooth and responsive ride. For the 2000 model year, Arctic Cat introduced several enhancements to its performance sleds, including the ZL 580. These updates featured a new "3-D" digital ignition system for improved throttle response, a widened ski stance (increased by two inches to 109 cm) for enhanced stability, larger 49-liter fuel tanks for extended range, and a switch to Arctic Cat's own high-performance shocks. The EFI system itself was a proven technology, having been introduced in 1997. A significant generational shift for Arctic Cat snowmobiles occurred later with the 2003 Firecat model, suggesting the ZL 580 represented the culmination of its design era. FAQ:
