Four new products available at Arctic Cat dealerships

Arctic Cat has released four new Snowmobile accessories – a rear suspension conversion, avalanche air bag, women’s ride jacket, and green chrome windscreen. All of the new accessories are available now at most Arctic Cat dealerships.

Float Rear Suspension Conversion

Upgrade any 2005-’07 M Series or 2009-’10 Crossfire to the Sno Pro-style Float suspension with the Float Suspension Conversion from Arctic Cat. The kit includes the new rear suspension arms, linkages and easily-tunable FOX Float shock that replace the stock units, delivering a 8.1-pound weight savings and improved snow-shedding.

The MSRP for the Float Rear Suspension Conversion is $569.95 U.S./$679.95 Canada.

Float 30 Avalanche Air Bag

Engineered to keep a person on top of the snow in the event of an avalanche, the BCA Float 30 Avalanche Air Bag from Arctic Cat adds an extra margin of mountain-riding safety when used with a beacon, probe, shovel and safety education. Incorporated into the BCA backpack, the 150-liter airbag inflates behind the rider’s head when the T-grip is pulled, allowing excellent peripheral vision.

The airbag is reusable and easy to reload, while the backpack has multiple pockets, a 30-liter capacity and is hydration compatible. The Float 30 Avalanche Air Bag weighs just 7.4 lbs and retails for $699.95 U.S./$829.95 Canada.

Arctic Cat recommends that mountain riders take every available precaution to prevent an avalanche, including only riding routes that are deemed safe and appropriate for conditions; and gathering all available information about snow conditions.

Catgirl Glam Coat

Designed to fit a woman’s curves and styled in classic leopard print, the new Catgirl Glam Coat from Arctic Cat is a new twist on a traditional favorite. The bulk-free 200-gram Thinsulate Insulation is extra warm, while the fleece-lined collar and hood deliver comfort and style. Multiple pockets add convenience, including the MP3 player pocket with tangle-free neck cord system.

The Catgirl Glam Coat is available in S – 2XL, as well as kids’ sizes, with an MSRP of $179.95 U.S./$209.95 Canada.

Green Chrome Windscreen

The new Green Chrome Windscreen from Arctic Cat is low enough to cheat the wind and styled to look equally fast. It’s made to the same quality standards as the stock windshield, with fully-flared sides that are designed to deliver excellent hand protection, yet with the unique green chrome finish that adds a custom touch.
