Vehicle Information
Arctic Cat XF 8000 Snowmobile (2014-2019)
The Arctic Cat XF 8000 series, produced between 2014 and 2019, established itself as a versatile high-performance crossover snowmobile. It was powered by a robust 794cc 2-stroke engine, renowned for its capability across diverse terrains, from groomed trails to deep snow. Throughout these years, various trims were offered, specifically designed to cater to crossover and high-country riding styles, featuring different track lengths and suspension setups. A notable mid-cycle evolution occurred in 2018 with the introduction of the 8000 C-TEC2 engine with Dual Stage Injection (DSI). This advanced engine, while maintaining 160 horsepower, delivered enhanced throttle response, quicker acceleration, and a significant reduction in oil consumption compared to the previous 800 H.O. (Suzuki 8000 Series) engine used from 2014 to 2017. Furthermore, models from 2018 and 2019 benefited from "Next-Gen body panels" for improved aerodynamics and accessibility, alongside updated clutch systems for better power transfer. FAQ:
