Vehicle Information
Arctic Cat F5 Snowmobile (2007-2014)
The Arctic Cat F5, produced from 2007 to 2014, is a popular snowmobile known for its reliable performance. It consistently featured a 499cc liquid-cooled, horizontal in-line 2-stroke engine with Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) for most models, delivering between 80 and 85 horsepower. The F5 series was introduced in 2007 on the new Twin Spar chassis, which provided a stable and responsive ride throughout its production run. In 2010, the F5 LXR trim received notable updates, including a redesigned seat, an aluminum tunnel extension, a new snowflap, and a lighter LED taillight. It also incorporated electric start, run-backwards reverse, and Infinite Rider Positioning for enhanced rider comfort and adjustability. Despite other Arctic Cat models transitioning to new chassis platforms in 2012, the F5 LXR maintained its proven Twin Spar chassis, ensuring consistent design and parts compatibility for its lifespan.
