A Powerful Mountain Sled with ALPHA ONE Single-Beam Rear Suspension

The ultimate Mountain Cat features bold styling and bold moves, with ALPHA ONE™ Single-Beam Rear Suspension, fully-adjustable FOX® FLOAT 3 QS3 shocks, and now ATAC adjustable-on-the-fly suspension.

A next-gen 8000-Series C-TEC2™ engine for clean, 2-stroke performance plus ALPHA ONE™ Single-Beam Rear Suspension

Features may include:
  • ALPHA ONE™ SINGLE-BEAM REAR SUSPENSION

Our single-beam rear suspension unlocks more maneuverability than any mountain snowmobile in history. Up here, there's only one alpha.

  • FOX® FLOAT QS3 SHOCKS

ALPHA ONE suspension is easily adjustable for ride and intensity with FOX FLOAT shocks: from the three-position QS3 on the ski and front arm, to a semi-locking QSL on the rear, you get easy adjustability for maximum deep-snow performance.

  • 8000-SERIES C-TEC2™ ENGINE

Mountain Cat Alpha One's 8000-series engine packs serious power into a highly maneuverable snowmobile.

  • AMS FRONT SUSPENSION

Lightweight spindles and a precision-engineered mountain-specific suspension geometry let you maneuver through deep snow and anything else the mountain has in store.

  • ATAC ON-THE-FLY SUSPENSION

Switch between soft, medium and firm suspension at the push of a button, with handlebar-mounted controls that automatically and immediately adjust your suspension FOX ZERO iQS gas shocks. Available on select models.

  • PUSH-BUTTON ELECTRIC START

A push of the handlebar-mounted button is all it takes for the convenience of electric start.

  • POWER CLAW™ TRACK

Slice through deep snow with Power Claw: a lightweight track that delivers the ultimate deep snow traction and performance.

  • GOGGLE HOLDER

Mounted right in the dash for quick access, this integrated goggle holder keeps a key piece of gear safe and sound.

  • LED HEADLIGHT

Ride until the sun goes down — then keep riding, with this premium LED headlight for night riding.

  • ADJUSTABLE 35.5"-37.5" SKI STANCE

Easily adjust your ski stance in seconds — keep it wide for the trails or narrow through the trees.
