Arctic Cat, now part of the Textron Group, today unveiled one of its most exciting new model announcements to date.
To fill a need in the snowmobile industry, Arctic Cat is offering a 2021 vehicle lineup featuring the new BLAST mid-size models, designed for both performance and value. The 2021 offering also includes several new models and upgrades to existing vehicles.
Blast is synonymous with explosion in French, we see that Textron wants to hit hard!Craig Kennedy, vice president, Arctic Cat for Textron Specialized Vehicles Inc. said, “Arctic Cat is back with a bang. The 2021 lineup is a testament to our commitment to the snowmobile industry, our customers and the brand. Our engineering team in Thief River Falls works tirelessly to create new and innovative products that will appeal not only to today’s snowmobilers, but also to tomorrow’s potential enthusiasts.”
The BLAST line includes three mid-size models with 400cc engines to satisfy mountain, trail or utility/sport riders on a budget.
The BLAST M 4000 mountain bike, BLAST ZR® 4000 trail bike and BLAST LT 4000 sport utility bike – are true mid-size vehicles, equipped with a new 2-cylinder engine with electronic fuel injection. The C-TEC2 4000 delivers 65 horsepower with an exact displacement of 397 cc.
Users will benefit from much of the same technology found on premium snowmobiles, such as the Arctic Drive System and Arctic Mountain Suspension (AMS). The mountain version also includes the revolutionary ALPHA ONE suspension system. And with a smaller frame, these models offer improved visibility and handling for unparalleled riding enjoyment.
BLAST is the ideal entry-level option for the customer looking for a snowmobile under $11,000 or for the experienced snowmobiler looking for a snowmobile that is easy to ride but will be generous with thrills.
