What is the benefit of Electronic Power Steering (EPS) on the Arctic Cat ZR 858?
The variable-assist Electronic Power Steering system automatically alters its assistance level based on vehicle speed, making low-speed technical maneuvering effortless while maintaining firm control at high speeds. It also functions as a damper, absorbing unexpected impacts from frozen ruts so your handlebars remain steady.
What is the advantage of the 137-inch track length on this snowmobile?
The 137-inch track length is the sweet spot for trail riders because its extended footprint bridges the gaps across rough ruts to eliminate trail chatter. This added footprint improves straight-line braking and acceleration traction without sacrificing the crisp, quick cornering feel of a shorter chassis.
What type of fuel and oil does the 2027 ZR 858 137 EPS require?
To maximize throttle response and maintain clean operation within the APV IV exhaust valves, the high-output 858 C-TEC2 engine requires 91 octane premium unleaded gasoline. The electronic oil injection system must be filled with a high-performance synthetic 2-stroke oil in its 3.0-quart reservoir.
