2027 Arctic Cat ZR 600 R-XC EPS Race Green

A Winning Legacy
ZR R-XC
The ZR® R-XC lineup brings cross-country race pedigree to everyday trail riding. Built on the lightweight, centralized CATALYST platform, these sleds are engineered for control, durability and a relentless pace. Electronic Power Steering reduces fatigue and keeps handling precise when conditions get demanding. When the terrain gets rough, R-XC stays sharp.

Ride. Repeat. No Rest Required
ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING
Electronic Power Steering (EPS) allows you to extend your ride time with a smoother experience through less bar movement, less trail feedback and less impact. Discover why EPS isn’t just a nice-to-have — it’s vital for unlocking more ride time and ride quality, regardless of your experience level.

Purpose-Built Power
858 ENGINE
Push the limits with a strong, responsive output across the full RPM range with a consistent pull you can feel. The 858 two-stroke EFI engine is designed for seamless integration with the Arctic Cat CATALYST platform. Patented exhaust valves and a sealed intake system maximize airflow and throttle response, while a purpose-built design reduces weight. All resulting in a compact, durable package built to perform season after season.

Peak Performance Unlocked
CATALYST CHASSIS
The revolutionary CATALYST platform has been built from the ground up to optimize every aspect of your ride, so much so that you’ll feel at one with the sled. With enhanced ergonomics, a lower center of gravity, our exclusive laydown engine design, specially calibrated suspension and more, this changes everything.

Features May Include:

Confidence-Inspiring Control
AWS 42 Suspension with Progressive Ratio Steering

• The AWS 42 Front Suspension is engineered specifically to complement the ZR R-XC. With ratio steering to reduce rider effort, you'll experience more control.

AWS 42 FRONT SUSPENSION WITH PROGRESSIVE RATIO STEERING

• AWS 42 is the culmination of over 40 years of experience with the Arctic Wish Suspension, optimized for trail riding. By centralizing the weight distribution, the suspension now sits directly under the rider, giving them more flexibility to move around on the sled, as well as giving them more control. This also puts more of the sled's weight on the skis, improving balance.
• With a progressive steering ratio, riders will feel the difference immediately. The sled will react to the slightest movement, making it feel like a natural extension of the rider's body.

Unrivaled Support
Fox Zero QS3 Shocks

• These lightweight shocks are designed to move comfortably and adjust easily, offering you a plush ride with enhanced control. They easily neutralize any bumps in the trail, bringing out a snowmobile experience like no other.

No Rough Rides
R-XC Slide-Action Rear Suspension

• The R-XC rear suspension is the ultimate hard bump tamer. With the front arm engaged while the rear arm compresses, you are clear to engage any condition the trail can deliver.

SLIDE-ACTION™ REAR SUSPENSION

• Unlock the true potential of a coupled suspension with our unique SLIDE-ACTION design. The front arm fits into a U-shaped slot that allows 0.5 inches of sliding movement, so the front won’t collapse whenever the rear arm compresses. That unique design gives you the full benefit of coupling: controlled ski lift during acceleration and the complete use of the front arm at all times. SLIDE-ACTION suspension also allows a lower and more consistent track tension with its Torque-Sensing Link, as well as three-position rear coupling block adjustability, adjustable spring preload and a durable 3-wheel rear axle assembly.

Unmatched Control
Cobra Track

• The 137-inch Cobra Track features 1.35-inch lugs designed to deliver confident bite and consistent traction in mixed trail conditions. It balances grip and control to help keep the sled planted and predictable as pace and terrain change.

Trail-Matched Precision
C&A PRO XPT Skis

• C&A Pro XPT Skis are built for confident, performance-focused trail riding. They deliver stable tracking and predictable cornering while keeping steering effort comfortable and easy to manage.

Navigation at Your Fingertips
G8 Digital Display

• The Arctic Cat G8 digital display, powered by Garmin, offers seamless integration with your sled. A built-in GPS with preloaded trail maps, customizable data fields and phone connectivity are just some of the features that make G8 essential for every ride. Plus, the group ride functionality utilizes satellite or cellular data, dependent on region, to share the ride with up to 15 people.
