Arctic Cat CFR 8
![]() |
If reaching lightning-fast velocity on a frozen lake is something you spend your days thinking about, the CFR 8 has your name on it. The key to its optimum acceleration is the H.O. 800 2-stroke engine Industry Leading Horsepower certified by an independent 3rd party, DynoTech Research, who easily saw 160 HP. A full 10% over last year. Throttle up and you're in far the ride of a lifetime. At that rate of motion, you need a dependable FasTrack! Long-Travel Suspension to smooth out the kinks of any ride. But none of this would matter if you couldn't get the claw-like traction. A 128 x 14" x 1.0", track is lightweight, enabling you to achieve top speed. So, jump on, hold tight and Let the CFR 8 take you to the ends of the snow-covered Earth.
AWS™ VI Double Wishbone Front Suspension - Up front, its the AWS™ suspension sporting double-wishbone A-arms coupled with hydraulic twin tube shocks that give you the ultimate in tolerance control and durability.
FasTrack® Long-Travel Suspension - The coveted FasTrack® Long-Travel Suspension is on duty in the rear. It's a setup that'll have you smoothing out the bumps and straightening out the curves with the talent of a seasoned professional.
H.O. 800 - The 800 engine is a 2-stroke, 794cc liquid twin with batteryless electronic fuel injection. An engine "laid down" in the chassis moves snowmobile mass toward the ground and effectively lowers the center of gravity. BEFI adjusts for temperature and altitude. In 2010, we've powered up every 800 engine for an increased 10% more HP over last year. An independent 3rd party, DynoTech Research, easily saw 160 HP. Engine reverse is also standard on the 800. There's also a new exhaust pipe, manifld, resonator and a lightweight crankshaft.
Engine Reverse: Push—button electronic reverse gets even better. As a feature of the engine, not only is it quick, it’s also a weight saver that sheds nearly 8 pounds.
128" x 14" x 1.0 Track - This one is not your typical 15" track. Nope, this one's a 14" x 128" x 1.0". These measurements are shorthand for "FAST."
Adjustable Handlebar - Rotate the bar forward and back. Twist up and down. Even the bar ends are hooked, giving you a perfect angled handle on whatever comes your way.
