Vehicle Information
Arctic Cat EXT 250 Snowmobile (1972)
The 1972 Arctic Cat EXT 250 was an iconic performance snowmobile, recognized for its sporty character and race-oriented design. Powered by a 245cc Kawasaki T1A250R2 twin-cylinder engine, this model was engineered to deliver responsive power and an exciting riding experience on snow. It positioned itself as a preferred choice for competitions and thrill-seekers of the era. Primarily marketed as the "EXT 250 Racer", there were also "EXT Hot Performer Specifications", clearly highlighting its performance and competition orientation. A notable mid-year change in 1972 was the introduction of a new CD ignition system (CD IGNITION CHANGE), marking a significant technical evolution for this model and potentially affecting the compatibility of certain electrical parts.
