Features

Features

  • LEGENDARY POWER - 9000-SERIES TURBOCHARGED ENGINE: Now the Pantera® hits the snow with the biggest, most powerful engine on the trail: the 9000-Series C-TEC4™ turbocharged powerhouse, the same engine as the ZR® Thundercat®. With this much power, touring is about to become a bigger adventure than ever.
  • SMOOTH POWER DELIVERY - ADAPT™ CVT SYSTEM: With its lightweight, narrow design that increases performance and belt life, as well as the industry's only self-adjusting clutch, the ADAPT™ CVT system provides better throttle response, smoother power delivery and a ride like no other.
  • CONFIDENCE-INSPIRING HANDLING - ARS™ FRONT SUSPENSION: This innovative front suspension is built to optimize handling. With increased cornering bite and ground clearance, it's easier than ever to tame the trails. More control means less fatigue, so you'll be able to go farther on the Pantera.
  • SHARE THE RIDE IN COMFORT - HEATED 2-UP SEATS: These purposefully-designed two-up seats are built with the correct height placement and balance for two riders and will keep riders warm with their standard heating mechanism. With seats like these, you'll be out on the trails all day long.
  • EFFORTLESS SUPPORT - IFP SHOCKS: You’ll feel the difference in every ride with premium, internal floating piston (IFP) shocks. These shocks will dampen the toughest terrain and offer increased durability, allowing you to maximize your performance.
  • UNMATCHED HANDLING - RIPSAW™ TRACK: The Ripsaw's angled 1.25-in lugs help the Pantera grip the trail. The chopped design provides unbelievable levels of handling and acceleration.
  • NO ROUGH RIDES - SLIDE-ACTION™ REAR SUSPENSION: Rough rides are a thing of the past. With this industry-exclusive design that keeps the front arm engaged while the rear arm compresses, you'll hardly feel a bump in the trail.
  • 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.
  • WIND PROTECTION - MID-TOURING WINDSHIELD: No more freezing in the cold wind. This mid-height windshield blocks harsh winds, making it easier than ever to get the most out of every ride.
