OPTIMIZED FOR DEEP SNOW
AMS FRONT SUSPENSION
The Arctic Mountain Suspension (AMS) is built specifically to navigate through deep snow. With lightweight spindles and a precision engineered suspension geometry designed specifically with mountain riding in mind, the Hardcore is the ultimate ride for deep snow performance.
UNPARALLELED SUPPORT
FOX® 1.5 ZERO QS3 COIL-OVER SKI SHOCKS
With three compression settings, the FOX 1.5 ZERO QS3 shocks are easy to adjust and neutralize any bumps in the terrain with coil-over springs. With shocks like this, rough rides are a thing of the past.
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.
ENHANCED TRACTION
POWER CLAW™ TRACK
Unlock the backcountry with the Power Claw Track, a lightweight track that delivers the ultimate deep snow traction and performance. It's easier than ever to slice straight through deep snow.
MINIMIZED IMPACT
REINFORCED RUNNING BOARDS
With more air comes more impact. That's why the Hardcore's running boards are reinforced with an extrusion for extra rigidity.
EASY ACCESS
GOGGLE HOLDER
Never lose your goggles again. The integrated goggle holder mounted directly in the dash keeps a critical piece of gear safe and easily accessible.
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.
ADAPT TO TERRAIN
ADJUSTABLE 35.5"-37.5" SKI STANCE
With an adjustable 35.5-37.5-inch ski stance, you can easily react to whatever challenges the mountain may throw at you. It only takes a few seconds to change, so you'll be up and moving in no time.
