When it comes to top-notch snowmobiles, Arctic Cat continually tops the charts by offering a blend of power, design, and functionality. This year, they've once again made a significant mark in the market with the launch of the 2023 Arctic Cat Snowmobile Crossover Series Riot 8000. Targeting thrill-seekers yearning to maximize their experience amidst the snow-clad terrains, this newly launched model is an ultimate crossover of performance and resilience.
At first glance, the Arctic Cat Riot 8000 captures the eye with color options of Sunset Orange or Black, reflecting the adventurous spirit of the rider. The LED lighting with accent light and race-height 5.5-inch windshield exhibits an elite combination of style and safety. The seating is a mountain-style offering a comfortable and robust grip. The electric push-button start brings in high-tech seamless functioning for starters.
Underneath its appealing aesthetics is the raw power that escalates the adrenaline rush. Powered by a 2-stroke engine, the Riot 8000 boasts 794cc displacement making it undeniably compelling. The Next-Generation C-TEC2 fueling, digitally controlled CD ignition system, and 270W stator output at 3000 RPM position it firmly in the power league. On top of that, the fuel capacity of 11.7 gallons ensures a longer run time with fewer stops.
Adding another layer of sophistication is the Arctic Drive System with ADAPT drive and driven clutches. The gearing stands at 22/48 and operates hand-in-hand with the Stealth Hydraulic Master Cylinder Brakes to bring superior control and safety. The reverse is a push-button engine for ease and comfort.
The ARS II front suspension, combined with the CROSS-ACTION rear suspension, brings the whole experience to a new level. It employs FOX shocks to ensure a bump-free ride and provides the maximum comfort even in the harshest terrains. The track specifications of the Riot 8000, including its 146 inches length, 15 inches width, and 1.60-inch lug, are designed for those passionate about pushing their limits.
From a technology standpoint, this snowmobile leaves no stone unturned. It comes with a deluxe digital gauge, showing speed, fuel, oil, coolant, clock, battery voltage, altimeter, and hours digitally. These features ensure the rider is always informed and in control.
Despite its $16,799 MSRP, the 2023 Arctic Cat Snowmobile Crossover Series Riot 8000 is a compelling proposition. With its captivating design, engine power, ride comfort, and innovative features, it perfectly encapsulates the true essence of a snowmobile. Arctic Cat has once again proven its ability to deliver a versatile product that meets the needs of any winter sports enthusiast.

When our family wanted to purchase our first boat we tried to find information for research. However the only information available at that time was sales brochures. All of the product information originated from the manufactures. The only price we could find was the retail price listings or MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price). Magazines featured articles, and had really great photo layouts, it only offered product description and the (MSRP) retail price.
We went to the dealership where the sales guy held all the cards. The best thing he had going for him was our lack of information. We tried to wrangle on price without any real success. We bought the boat, but we paid too much. After that experience we felt there had to be a better way.
So we started this website because we did not want anyone else to feel disadvantaged like our family did that day. We discussed what we would like to see. We found experts in their fields and started asking questions. We then put together a team to research products and most importantly the dealer price. We started with boats and realized that there was a great need for information on many kinds of large purchase recreational vehicles and products.
Look when you visit a dealership for a boat, motorcycle or camper, if you have not done your research your negotiation for that item will start with the Manufactures Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The highest price you could pay. The sales person will try to see what you know and size you up. If you do not have product knowledge including what the cost was to the dealer – you are going to pay too much.
See Dealer Cost™ offers product information that is in-depth and understandable. You can build your ideal product on line and see what it cost before you walk into a dealership. See Dealer Cost™ gives you the product options and most importantly the cost without the pressure of someone trying to talk you into something.
Knowledge is power.
After you find the product you want on See Dealer Cost™ and configure the options. You can save it to view or reference later. You can also print out what you put together (with the price). In turn you can use this information to negotiate your best deal.
What if the item is used? We are making available all the information we have gathered over the years so you can research to see the original cost. Even on used items you can use our site to negotiate your best deal.
Our passion here at See Dealer Cost™ is to give people power and knowledge. We were at a disadvantage once and we did not like the feeling.
By the way this great idea we had to build a website with this information. We had to fight to be able to bring this information to you. See Dealer Cost™ was supposed to be a one hit wonder. The manufactures magazines that they send to dealers said we would be dead in no time. They pounded their fists on their desks and said the consumer did not want or need this information. They said we would put them out of business. We were sued multiple times by manufacturers for this information. We are still here.
Why would they not want you to be able to see and use this information? They were afraid that you the consumer would be the true winner.
As it turns out – this information has not put anyone out of business. A consumer who is knowledgeable is confident buyer.
So we continue on with our team of experienced and expert people. We constantly update product lines and most importantly the cost so you have information to make your best deal.
We are proud of the team and proud to be able to assist you in your recreational purchase. We do not sell any of the items listed – we just gather the information.
The products include thousands of boats, motors, campers, motorcycles and more. We are constantly working to expand the information we present for you.
We all have families. We hope your buying experience is a better one than our family’s first purchase. Use this website to be a knowledgeable more confident buyer.
We hope we are a valuable resource for you. Enjoy your purchase.
Thanks,
See Dealer Cost™ Team Members
