2025 Arctic Cat ZR 400

Arctic Cat has released details on its 2025 snowmobile lineup . Due to last September ’ s announcements of the new 858 engine and Garmin gauge at the Hay Days event , there weren ’ t a ton of surprises , according to Snow Goer ’ s reporting .

However , we now know the details of some of the packages that will be available , plus we get to ponder about some new shock absorbers . We also get to see which four-stroke Pro- Cross and single-cylinder Blast chassis models made it back for 2025 .

No word is available yet on the pricing or the exact dates of the ordering period .

There will be an entire fleet of two-stroke ZRs in the Catalyst chassis for 2025 . That includes base ZR and upgraded ZR R-XC models with either the 599cc or the new 858cc twin . However , there is a twist .

With the “ regular ” ZRs , consumers can choose between three shock packages : baseline with Arctic Cat internal floating piston ( IFP ) gas shocks , three-position Fox iQS shocks controlled by the adjust-on-thefly ATAC system above the skis and on the rear arm , or yet-to-be-fully-defined fiveposition

AC5S shocks all around on the Sno Pro package .

The high-tech new Arctic Cat G8 Garmin touchscreen gauge that Cat unveiled at Hay Days will be standing on ATACequipped

models and an upgrade option on other sleds .

There will also be 2025 ZR R-XC models with cross-country racing upgrades with either the 600− or 858−class engines . Different rear suspension geometry , Fox QS3R shocks , some chassis and suspension reinforcements and a 15− by 138− by 1.35−inch Cobra track are among the features that separate an R-XC from a regular ZR .

OTHER 2025 ARCTIC CAT ZRS Some folks pondered whether Yamaha ’ s impending exit from the snowmobile market would mean an end to ZR 9000 and ZR 7000 four-stroke Cats . However , they are definitely back for 2025 . We ’ ll see

what the future holds beyond this year .

The turbocharged 200ish horsepower Yamaha 998cc three-cylinder engine returns in the ZR 9000 Thundercat and ZR 9000 RR for 2025 . Both again benefit from electric-assist power steering .

The ZR 7000 also returns for 2025 . Once more , it gets power from Yamaha ’ s longstanding 1049cc triple that makes about 135 horsepower , according to Arctic Cat . Its specs look familiar , with the Pro- Cross chassis layout . Arctic Cat IFP shocks are the only option on the Slide-Action rear and ARS II front suspensions .

Meanwhile , it appears that Cat is dropping the word “ Blast ” out of the name of its mid-sized ZR 400 , but it stays in the Blast platform . It ’ s a roughly 7 / 8th-size chassis that ’ s powered by a 397cc fuelinjected single that makes about 65 horsepower . The ZR 120 and ZR 200 youth sleds also return for 2025 .
