🏁 Quick Facts
- New Firecat platform with 698 cc Suzuki twin, EFI, ~140 hp (est.).
- Ultra-narrow 13.5-in x 128-in track; lighter, slim tunnel and revised skid.
- Front: AWS VI double A-arms (~9.2 in travel). Rear: FasTrack Long Travel (~13.5 in). Dry weight ~435 lb (as tested).
- Reputation for huge acceleration; many stock F7s reported 100+ mph in the wild (varies by setup/conditions).
The Firecat wasn’t just faster, it changed the feel of fast. Arctic Cat shrank mass and frontal area, then paired a punchy 700 twin with a narrow 13.5-inch track that carved and clawed with minimal drag.
The result was a sled that launched harder and carried speed with shocking ease. Its chassis/suspension balance (AWS VI + FasTrack) proved you could have razor-sharp handling and arm-stretching pull in one package.
Still have one of these in the garage? Drop your setup and your best ‘omg this fast’ moment.
Bring back the F700, chassis was light nimble, and the sled was explosive and still is, mine is still a rocket 🇺🇸
