Vehicle Information
Arctic Cat F8 Snowmobile (2007-2011)
The Arctic Cat F8 series, produced from 2007 to 2011, is a high-performance snowmobile known for its powerful two-stroke engine and agile handling. Introduced on the Twin Spar chassis, these models were equipped with a 794cc liquid-cooled, electronic fuel injection (EFI) twin engine, offering a thrilling ride for enthusiasts. A notable change occurred in 2010 with the introduction of a new 800 two-stroke engine. This updated powerplant featured a lighter crankshaft and increased horsepower, ranging from 150 to over 160 hp, compared to the earlier 794cc engine's approximately 145 hp (2007-2009). The 2011 lineup also saw the addition of the F8 EXT, featuring a longer 144-inch track. Q: How can I be sure this product fits my Arctic Cat F8?
