Staff Expert Tip: “The real magic happens when you pair the 858’s massive torque with the ATAC suspension. You can set your shocks to ‘Firm’ for the aggressive high-speed runs on the wide trails near Speculator and instantly switch to ‘Soft’ when you hit the stutter bumps in Canajoharie—all without ever letting go of the heated grips.”

How does the Electronic Power Steering (EPS) handle technical trails? The EPS system provides variable assistance, meaning it offers more help at lower speeds where steering is heaviest and tapers off at higher speeds to maintain a natural “connected” feel. This dramatically reduces the physical effort needed to snake through tight Adirondack woods, virtually eliminating handlebar kickback from frozen ruts.

What is the benefit of the ATAC system on the ZR 858? ATAC (Adaptive Terrain Control) allows you to toggle between Soft, Medium, and Firm shock settings instantly using a thumb switch. This allows you to adapt to changing trail conditions in real-time, ensuring you always have the perfect balance of comfort and performance without needing to stop and manually adjust clickers.

Why is the 137-inch track preferred for New York trails? The 137-inch length is considered the “goldilocks” size for our region. It is long enough to “bridge” the gaps between trail bumps for a smoother ride than a short track, yet short enough to remain incredibly agile in the tight, twisting sections of the Mohawk Valley trail systems.
