We’ve had our first chance to take the ZR Blast snowmobiles and other 2021 Cats for a brief test ride: now you might get your’s!
Starting with the Eagle River World Championship Snowmobile Derby, Arctic Cat will be showcasing its 2021 model lineup at 15 events across North America, and is planning to include demo rides at several of them if snow conditions allow.
According to an announcement from Arctic Cat, snowmobilers can see and possibly ride new mid-sized Blast sleds, the new Riot X with an Alpha One rear suspension, M 8000 Mountain Cat Alpha One models with handlebar-controlled ATAC rear shock and rest of the 2021 lineup.

The tour kicks off at Eagle River, Wisconsin, January 17-19, before taking a month-long break and resurfacing at the snocross races at Salamanca, New York, in February.
In the U.S., remaining appearances will be at notable snowmobiling events – including the Snowfest and Snofest events in Colebrook, New Hampshire and Old Forge, New York; snocross races at Grand Rapids, Michigan, and Lake Geneva, Wisconsin; plus the two famed big western events in the West Yellowstone Expo and Jackson Hole Hillclimb.
All of those, at this point, are scheduled to have demo rides as a part of the appearance.
