Arctic Cat Introduces a DIESEL

Should be out this summer

from another article

"The twin cylinder in-line 686cc engine develops 18hp – and a massive 39 Nm of torque. The engine is water cooled and naturally aspirated. Transmission is via an automatic gearbox, with both a high and low range, which provides responsive acceleration and effective engine braking. Final drive is through sealed drive shafts, front and rear and constant velocity (cv) joints. The underside of the drive train is protected by a high density skid plate to prevent damage when manoeuvring over stumps, rocks and other obstructions."

That's a trip.


With all that torque...they had to beef stuff up, or snap city.

Polaris did it in 1999 it was a one hit wonder.. We have two of them in the shop right now.. They both have over 6000 miles on them but my god are they loud.. They are a single cylinder liquid cooled.

I don't know, these Cats seem prone to rolling over, and when they do the body just tweeks all over the place :lol:

Man Chadd, you're good. Not really a roll, more flop. Ejected without injury to himself.

Hey, why didn't you pick up the phone when we called?

I was showing Dusty where we had been doing the ice riding, I turned around I noticed that D2 had turned his quad into a bicycle. With gas pouring out and him struggling to right the beast my first instinct was to help get him and the quad upright. Next time I go for the Nikon :lol:
