Default 2013 Arctic Car M800 Review
Here are snowmobile.om's thoughts on the new 2013 M800!

The mighty Arctic Cat M8 remains mighty in motor. Cat’s collaborative work with Suzuki continues to pay off with every slap of the loud lever. But, Arctic Cat’s 2013 ProClimb M8 is a vast departure from the M8 of year’s previous. Now the mountain-ready Cat has moved to a common platform shared by two motors – the 800 two cylinder two-stroke and a two cylinder four-stroke. Also, Arctic Cat wanted the trail and the mountain segments to share many components. By sharing platforms and limiting motor choices, Arctic Cat found a way to reduce production costs by streamlining the assembly line.
In our long time riding and reviewing of the 2012 M800, we found some quirks and newbie jitters: such as an out-of-sync steering ratio, a rear suspension that trenched-out the track rather than floating it, and some belly pan and side panel lines that were not as clean as Cat’s competitors.
