Dear snowmobile enthusiasts, we want to inform you about an important announcement from Arctic Cat, a major player in the powersports industry. Due to current economic conditions, Arctic Cat has decided to indefinitely suspend its manufacturing operations at its Thief River Falls and St. Cloud, Minnesota facilities following the completion of planned production for the first half of 2025.
This decision, made by Textron Inc., Arctic Cat’s parent company, is a result of reduced demand in the powersports market. The American manufacturer is currently exploring strategic alternatives for the future of its operations in this sector. Despite these changes, the brand remains committed to delivering quality services to its customers and fully supporting existing products.
Production of 2025 snowmobile models will proceed as planned after the New Year to fulfill existing orders. However, once this production is completed, Arctic Cat will suspend its manufacturing operations. The company continues to evaluate the situation and will provide updates as plans for the future take shape.
Arctic Cat has confirmed that 2025 models will be available for sale throughout the year. While production will be suspended thereafter, the brand remains committed to adapting for the years ahead. Arctic Cat will continue monitoring market trends and exploring new strategies for future models.
Although this news may come as a surprise, rest assured: Arctic Cat is dedicated to supporting snowmobile enthusiasts with comprehensive after-sales services, spare parts, and all necessary assistance to keep enjoying your winter adventures.
We are saddened by this development, which marks a significant turning point for Arctic Cat and its loyal customers. We will closely follow the situation and keep you updated on the company’s next steps. Meanwhile, we wish you an incredible snowmobiling season filled with fun and unforgettable moments on the snow.
