Alpha One

• SINGLE-BEAM REAR SUSPENSION: Arctic Cat® unlocks the mountain like no one else can with the revolutionary Alpha One™. Instead of using two rails like a slide rail suspension, its single aluminum rail runs right down the center of a Power Claw™ track. With minimal input, you get effortless deep snow cornering, carving, side-hilling and more. You’ve never felt a ride like this.
• SINGLE BEAM REAR RAIL: Alpha One is the first rear suspension to go from two rails to one, creating a single pivot point down the middle of its Power Claw track, so you can effortlessly carve up the mountain. It's light, lean and mean: with an extruded aluminum construction and magnesium attachment points.
• MORE MANEUVERABILITY: With a single pivot point, the snowmobile leans and dips into every curve, and side-hills like it's second nature. So you don't just blaze your own trail, you’ll leave a path nobody else can even touch. Effortless rides with minimal rider input. Limitless possibilities.
• STARTS LIGHT, STAYS LIGHT: Lightweight performance is the name of the game on the mountain. Alpha One snowmobiles don’t just start 11 pounds lighter than other snowmobiles — they stay lighter. Where dual-rail suspensions trap snow in the skidframe, Alpha One’s single rail sheds it, keeping the sled lean, lightweight and easy to maneuver.
