Backcountry (and some trail) riders looking to swap the stock Arctic Cat hand controls with something that’s less bulky and less likely to shred in the event of a HOLY CRAPETH moment might appreciate the Handlebar Control Kit from Speedwerx.
Engineered for 8000/6000 Series machines, the kit replaces the stock controls with momentary buttons for the engine stop and electronic reverse switches on the handlebars, with rocker switches for the hand/thumb warmers and the high/low beam on the dash. A heavy-duty aluminum throttle block is also included.
The kit comes with an OEM-quality, pre-wired handlebar wire harness for a no-hassle plug and play installation. Plus it saves .45lbs over the stock set-up!
Interested? Speedwerx sold the first run of inventory, but you can pre-order for the next round and be ready to rip this winter.
Great kit and a well put together video showing the features and install.
However, Cats mountain lineup should have had this installed from the factory for a long time.
The other guys have had simplified handlebar controls on mountain models for a number of years. Textron, here is an opportunity to update!
