Just wondering, who's getting what model and what colour (color)? Also, what have you heard from dealerships, Arctic Cat or fellow Cat guys/gals regarding the new Riot/Riot X? I'm getting the Riot X green/blue, already have 61% of it paid in full. Once I sell my 2014 SR Viper XTX-SE, it'll be paid off. I was one of those people that wasn't please when the 2020 release was made public, figured they (Arctic Cat) would have had an 850 engine like Doo and PoPo. But later was excited that the 800 engine was fully remapped...and apparently have been beating the 850's straight out of the crate. Anyway, hoping for some insight/input. Cheers

You have a bunch of links to controlled tests somewhere for this?

Sorry, don't have a link, but read somewhere in an Arctic Cat group on facebook.

Lol, must be true then!.

None of the demos even had the "reworked" 800.

Actually, there is a dirty little secret about our 800 motors. They are very strong in certain riding. It just happens to be that they are strong right where we want the power most of the time. I hope the new configuration retains that powerband.


I am also curious to see how the Riot does compare and ride. I didn't go with a one because I spend way too much time trail riding. It looks like a nice package for a little more mixed riding.

Alphas are known to beat 850 skudds and 840 pop cans in the mountains. More to do with a track that has superior hookup and more efficient way of putting power to the ground.

Has anyone found out if Aftermarket Companies have made any parts yet? Clutch kits, V-Force/Boyesen Reeds, Exhaust (Manifold/Y-Pipe, Pipe and Can/Muffler/Silencer), etc. I highly doubt it, seeing that this 800 motor has been totally remapped. At the same time, there might be mods manufactured.

Yup Absolutely JLR82;
As we all know if it's heard on the internet, it certainly MUST be true!

Did you go into Speedwerx site? Or Bikeman's site? Or D&D's .Should be plenty for you to get, all it takes is money!

What exactly are you wondering? You can do the track tension yourself without too much hassle.

 

[BIGCHEVROLET]

I know its early in the break in life but have you checked your fuel economy?

 

[arcticshark06]

I have about 200 miles on my 8000 and I got 15.6MPG! This was mostly on groomed trails, running 35-70... very happy with that. Still have a slight surging around 5K rpm, but its rarely running that low...

I'm curious to see any feedback on how these have been handling for trail conditions.

 

[arcticshark06]

I am very happy with mine! I stiffed-up the front about 5-6 turns, moved skis to widest setting and the QRS are set in the middle, I end up riding 80% trail... highly recommend.

Does anyone know if these will fit in a 11' clamshell titan trailer?

 

[crash74]

I know exactly what I want, just not sure I want to cough up $12k. I've always thought new sleds were over priced and I currently have a '13 HC that I absolutely love. I was able to ride a '20 Riot X a few months ago and I was impressed and I really like the Alpha rail.
