The True 50/50 Crossover

Riot delivers ruthless crossover versatility, with available ARS™ II front suspension and CROSS-ACTION rear suspension to handle the trails and the backcountry.

Our powerful 8000-Series C-TEC2, 794cc engine, with FOX rear shocks to provide a smooth ride anywhere.

Features may include:
  • CROSS-ACTION REAR SUSPENSION

CROSS-ACTION Rear Suspension blends the increased weight transfer of an uncoupled suspension with the optimal cornering and bump absorption of Arctic Cat’s Torque-Sensing Link™ used on our trail models.

  • ARS™ II FRONT SUSPENSION

The new Arctic Race Suspension (ARS II) puts everything we learned about conquering tough terrain onto your Riot.

  • G2 PROCLIMB™ 7 MOUNTAIN SKI

This lightweight ski is contoured for easier steering, and integrates with the AMS spindles for better deep-snow performance.

  • ADJUSTABLE SKI STANCE

Easily adjust your ski stance —from 41.5- to 43.5 inches for maximum adaptability.

  • REINFORCED RUNNING BOARDS

Big air means big impact, which is why Riot's running boards are reinforced with an extrusion for added rigidity.

  • REAR RACK

Haul more gear for an all-day ride with this optional rear rack.
