The Pantera offers many accessories to both the pilot and the passenger. In fact, this one will enjoy, among other features, the hand and seat warmers that will provide total comfort during long rides under extreme cold, which is often a passenger nightmare.

One of my favorite features on the Pantera is without doubt the auxiliary gas tank of the Limited edition. It represents 16 additional liters of gas, plumbed into the main tank, and thus increases fuel range. Congratulations Arctic Cat for this innovation !!!
In matter of storage, we have a useful rear storage bag and two detachable locking storage cases, quite enough to bring all the luggages we need for a few-day trip.
Despite its important size, the Pantera is very agile even in sinuous trails. Its forward riding position is very comfortable and efficient. Cornering is easy and we feel like riding a sport snowmobile rather than a touring one. Also, it is very comfortable to pilot standing up, due to the height of the handlebar.
This Pantera is equipped with the proven triple 4-stroke liquid-cooled engine of 1049 cc with fuel intection. It is renowned for its reliability, fuel economy and performances.
With this model, once again Arctic Cat show that they listen to their customers. The manufacturer has been inspired by the success of this snowmobile to introduce in the 2016 lineup the brand new Bearcat and the Pantera XT Limited, a 20 in/50,8 cm edition of the Pantera.
I would like to thank the manufacturer Arctic Cat for this long-term trial and Arctic Cat Junior Mécanique Plus, Arctic Cat dealer in Rimouski, and all his team.
Snowmobilers were eagerly waiting for the Pantera as they were wishing for an advanced edition of the TZ1, introduced in 2008, and I was one of them ! So, Arctic Cat offers the revival of the legendary Pantera in the Touring category.
The 2015 Pantera 7000 Limited will satisfy two types of snowmobilers. Firstly, the snowmobilers who are looking for a true comfortable touring snowmobile fully equipped for long rides with a passenger. These ones usually ask for a wide variety of accessories, large storage capacity and good fuel range.
On the other side, the snowmobilers who ride mostly alone but who want sometimes to bring a passenger in total safety, will be able in just a few seconds to remove the passenger seat and luggages and to ride on a hybrid machine of 144 in/365,8 cm that is very easy to operate and efficient. In this matter, personally I think that the 2015 Arctic Cat Pantera 7000 Limited is actually the most versatile snowmobile on the market.
