SMOOTH POWER DELIVERY
ADAPT™ CVT SYSTEM
With its lightweight, narrow design that increases performance and belt life, as well as the market's only self-adjusting clutch, the ADAPT™ CVT system provides better throttle response, smoother power delivery, and a ride like no other.
NO ROUGH RIDES
SLIDE-ACTION™ REAR SUSPENSION
Unlock the true potential of a coupled suspension with our unique SLIDE-ACTION design. The front arm fits into a U-shaped slot that allows 0.5 inches of sliding movement, so the front won’t collapse whenever the rear arm compresses. That unique design gives you the full benefit of coupling: controlled ski lift during acceleration and the complete use of the front arm at all times. SLIDE-ACTION suspension also allows a lower and more consistent track tension with its Torque-Sensing Link, as well as three-position rear coupling block adjustability, adjustable spring preload and a durable 3-wheel rear axle assembly.
BRIGHTEN ANY RIDE
LED HEADLIGHT
A premium LED headlight is crucial for those night rides. Equipped with both high and low-beams, the headlight casts an LED light pattern with great range and width.
ADAPTS TO TRAIL CONDITION
ADJUSTABLE SKI STANCE
With an adjustable 42-43-in. ski stance, you'll be able to customize your ride even further. Easily set your ski stance based on trail conditions and immediately feel the difference.
CONFIDENCE-INSPIRING CONTROL
ARS™ II FRONT SUSPENSION
The evolution of Arctic Race Suspension (ARS) is here. ARS II gives you better bite on corners and increased ground clearance to deliver more confidence on or off-trail. We increased the height of the forged aluminum spindles from the ski to the lower arm by 1.5 inches and gave it more rigid upper A-Arms. Plus, a revised geometry delivers a new roll-center and adjustable cambers, and a swaybar makes for flatter, more predictable cornering on hard pack trails.
QUICK AND CONVENIENT
PUSH-BUTTON ELECTRIC STAR
The convenience of electric start is just one of the countless things that sets the ZR apart. With just the push of a handlebar-mounted button, you'll be up and moving.
