The Arctic Cat M8000 153 HCR is designed for Rocky Mountain snowmobilers who ride aggressively. The light and strong ProClimb chassis is engineered for performance and durability for jumping cornices or blazing a path through the trees, while its wider ski stance than traditional mountain snowmobiles adds stability over rough, uneven terrain. A nearly 20-pound weight reduction for 2014 cut mass from the front suspension, seat and drivetrain. Ice scratchers and a tether switch are standard features of the 2014 Arctic Cat M8000 HCR 153.
