Its all-new H.O. 800 engine takes absolutely no prisoners on an unforgiving trail. The F8 is the perfect marriage of power with technology on your terms. Once you feel the full power of this 2-stroke 794cc liquid twin, you'll agree. It's the Industry-Leading Horsepower that really puts the wag in this Cat's tail, which an independent 3rd party, DynoTech Research, clearly saw as 160 HP. That's 10% more HP than last year. And the seventh-generation AWS™ front suspension smooths out the bumps while you're pushing those horses to the max. A batteryless electronic fuel injection adjusts to your performance level no matter what temperature or altitude. The Slide-Action Rear Suspension™ is straight out of the Sno Pro® racing circuit, the ultimate in controlled maneuvering. Propel yourself into a whole other realm of snowmobiling with the F8, and make everyone take notice.

Seventh Generation AWS Front Suspension: Up front, the double—wishbone A-arms with IFP shocks and sway bar ensure that the sled is more than ready to soak up the bumps. You will instantly feel the great cornering and handling.

Slide-Action Rear Suspension™: Straight from the Sno Pro® race sled. Slide-Action Rear Suspension™ incorporates a U—shaped front arm slot that fits over a shaft bolted across the tunnel. This creates a half—inch of "sliding" movement, preventing the front arm from torque locking. Better still, it helps keep the skis planted during acceleration, all but eliminating ski lift when gassing it through the corners.

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.

Twin Spar™ Chassis: Designed and manufactured to be incredibly rigid, the Twin Spar™ chassis employs two box-aluminum spars triangulated with the steering supports and tunnel spars. Self—piercing rivet construction ensures joint rigidity and long—lasting strength. The Twin Spar chassis places you in the perfect neutral riding position. With a taller seat and handlebar location, this position maximizes comfort and control in all riding conditions.

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.

New Twin Spar™ Rear End: Our Twin Spar™ chassis’ rear end went through a little modification. Or beautification, whichever you prefer. We’ve removed the rear plastic trunk and added a new tunnel design. We also added a new LED taillight, snowflap and rear bumper. It’s definitely one hot—looking chassis.
