If you’re riding the rugged loops through Northville or Speculator, the EPS is a must-have—it eliminates that ‘heavy’ feeling in the handlebars, especially after a long day of navigating frozen ruts.”

How does the ATAC suspension improve my trail ride? The ATAC system allows you to toggle between three firmness settings (Soft, Medium, and Firm) instantly via a thumb button. This means you can soften the ride for the bumpy sections around Amsterdam and then stiffen it up for high-speed stability on the groomed straights without ever having to get off the sled to turn a dial.

What is the benefit of Electronic Power Steering (EPS)? EPS provides variable steering assistance, offering the most help at low speeds where steering is hardest and tapering off at higher speeds to maintain a stable feel. It also acts as a damper, preventing the handlebars from jerking out of your hands when the skis catch a rut, which significantly reduces rider fatigue.

Why is the 858 C-TEC2 engine special? The 858 was designed specifically for the CATALYST chassis, featuring a laydown design that keeps the engine’s weight low and centered. It delivers an 11% boost in power over previous models while remaining incredibly lightweight, giving you a sled that accelerates like a rocket but still handles like a lightweight racer.
