1996.5 Arctic Cat ZR 580 ETT

This snowmobile was a mid-season model release in the 1995-96 winter season. It showcased a number of things that had not been used before on the ZR 580 models...quick-adjust driven clutch, Arctco 9-post drive clutch, tipped-up Extended Travel Tunnel and rear suspension, Fox quick-adjust front arm adjuster, remote reservoir ski shocks, bright Arctic Green hood color, sno cross style handlebars, race-style seat with tunnel pads and more. It differs greatly from the very popular 1997 ZR 580 that was introduced just a few months later. This unit is in very good original condition and still gets ridden every few winters. It is believed that 502 of these were produced and this is the final one off the assembly line. Serial number 9661932, engine number B58-409318. This very snowmobile is pictured on pages 106 and 107 of the book 50 Years of the Cat by John Sandberg.
