A new breed of power – all new 858 engine

The all-new 858 two-stroke engine is designed for seamless integration into the new CATALYST platform. With an 8% increase in displacement, this engine houses an 11% increase in output over the C-TEC2 800 and weighs 4% less. It features an optimized air intake system, a new exhaust valve design for more consistent power and cleaner emissions, and an all-new crankcase for increased stroke and integrated engine mounts.

Peak performance unlocked – Catalyst chassis

The revolutionary CATALYST platform has been built from the ground up to optimize every aspect of your ride, so much so that you’ll feel at one with the sled. With enhanced ergonomics, a lower center of gravity, our exclusive laydown engine design, specially calibrated suspension and more, this changes everything.

Confidence-inspiring handling – AWS 39 front suspension with progressive ratio steering

The AWS 39 Front Suspension is engineered specifically to compliment the Riot 858. With ratio steering to reduce rider effort, you’ll experience more control.

Ultimate adjustability – AC5S shocks

Designed by Arctic Cat, for Arctic Cat, the all new AC5S shocks offer 5 different positions and adjustable spring preload. They are uniquely calibrated for crossover riding and showcase both Arctic Cat’s legacy of durability and its signature style.

Ready to go – push-button electric start

The convenience of electric start is just one of the countless things that sets the Riot apart. With just the push of a handlebar-mounted button you’ll be up and moving. It is also equipped with a backup manual starter.

Smooth power delivery – ADAPT CVT system

With its lightweight, narrow design that increases performance and belt life, as well as the industry’s only self-adjusting clutch, the ADAPT™ CVT system provides better throttle response, smoother power delivery and a ride like no other.

Increased durability – Arctic Cat trail belt drive

The CATALYST platform utilizes Arctic Cat’s belt drive system rather than a chain drive. This allows for enhanced durability and fewer parts in the system. The adjustable center distance allows for multiple ratio options and makes servicing simple.
