INSIDE LOOK: THERE IS A 2024 ZR 7000 AND PANTERA 7000!

Yesterday I took my 2024 ZR600 129 (pictured above) to a trailside ride-in event hosted by Muggs near lake Mille Lacs in Minnesota. Conservatively guessing, Id say there were at least 100 in attendance and Muggs couldn’t have picked a nicer weather day for their “Sometimes Annual” ride. Stick with me to see what any of this has to do with the 2024 ZR 7000. -Kale

The turnout for the Mugg’s Sometimes Annual ride-in was fantastic with a wide variety of snowmobiles in attendance. Snowmobiling was built as a social sport first, and its great to see these types of trailside events are still a draw.
Lunch was provided by Mugg’s of Mille Lacs. Ive said it before, these guys are true snowmobilers, and fully support all powersports. If you are ever in Wahkon, MN, please go visit their restaurant.
This fella (Pat Bourgeois, Editor of Midwest Rider Magazine) believes in dessert before dinner and wasted no time sneaking in 2-3 S’mores before kicking back a couple grilled brats. The Mille Lacs Drift Skippers club in Isle has a really nice trailside shelter and the trails were in excellent condition.
I let a variety of people test ride my ZR 129 including this guy who was all smiles afterward. He had a 2017 ZR7000 (left) with 7XXX-plus miles on the clicker, and that thing ran like a Swiss watch. After I rode it, I remembered how much I love the 1049cc 4-stroke engine. Then I remembered I hadn’t shared anything on the 2024 ZR7000 being offered, then I remembered how excited Crnr2Crnr would be if I did share the info. So, here we go…

Fans of the 1049cc C-TEC4 engine rejoice! After a short hiatus in the Arctic Cat line-up, this 135-Class horsepower 4-stroke performer is back in the ZR for 2024.
