Arctic Cat indicates this will translate to a 250% improvement in average flyweight service life, a very welcome improvement considering the high horsepower levels of their engines. This new spider assembly provides a much wider roller to flyweight contact patch with 30% more roller surface area and a 40% increase in the flyweight base width. Most notable is the increased durability of the spider assembly, something that has been an issue in the past for Arctic Cat. Arctic Cat engineers tell us this package provides better long-term consistency, specifically greater durability and a more consistent engine RPM control with less RPM variation, hour to hour and day to day as well as month to month and year to year.Īrctic Cat tells us they have been working with TEAM for over two years, with this being the third season of developing specific calibrations for each of their high performance models. Of course, TEAM has been manufacturing primary clutches for many years for the snowmobile manufacturers, but this is the first time we get a TEAM Rapid Response primary clutch.
While many of us are familiar with the various TEAM secondary encapsulated roller secondary clutches, this is the first time we have been introduced to a TEAM-branded primary clutch.
For 2016 Arctic Cat is going to be using TEAM clutching, both primary and secondary, on their performance models. We have all new clutches, front and rear. These differences are found in the clutches and shock packages. For 2016 there are some major upgrades to ZR Limited in the 137” track length, and now they will perform even better. This is the sweet spot in the line-up, being the crossover length that is so wildly popular. Which brings us back to the ZR Limited 137”. And then there are ZR Limiteds, again in all four engine sizes, at 137”. Whatever the logic, we now have ZR LXRs and ZR SnoPros in both 129” and 137” track lengths, and in four engine sizes 6000, 7000, 8000 & 9000. Arctic Cat might have believed there was more equity in the ZR name than there was the XF name. What’s this, a 137” ZR? Yep, for 2016 Arctic Cat has re-classified their XF 137” models (LXRs, Sno Pros and Limiteds) as ZRs, so we now have 129” ZRs and 137” ZRs.
