The Arctic Cat Lynx 295, produced from 1971 to 1974, was a versatile snowmobile within the broader Lynx line, known for offering a range of engine options and configurations. While the "295" designation often points to models with a 295cc engine, the Lynx series during this period featured various displacements and engine suppliers, catering to different performance needs and market segments.

The 1971 model year was characterized by a wide array of engine choices from manufacturers like JLO, Kawasaki, Kohler, Wankel, and Hirth, effectively defining different trims. By 1973, the Wankel engine saw an evolution, with the earlier 303cc unit being succeeded by the Sachs/Wankel KM-24 295cc engine, delivering 23 HP. A major differentiation occurred in 1974 with the introduction of the "Lynx I" and "Lynx II" models. Lynx I typically featured smaller engines like the 292cc Kawasaki or the 295cc Wankel, while Lynx II models offered larger 340cc and 440cc Kawasaki engines, segmenting the line by performance.
