Arctic Cat has announced a
$10.6m loss for its
2016/2017 financial year
first quarter (ended June 30)
on net sales of $104.9m
(-22%); last year the
equivalent loss was $1.1m.
ATV sales were -17.3%;
Snowmobiles -30.4%;
PG&A -11.5%.

to the increasing popularity
of the FXR and the clamour
for an (approximately)
equivalent platform, or at
least an updated version of
the concept.

Sprint Signature Series is
designed to transform ’15-’16
Indian Scout and Scout Sixty
models into race-inspired
customs that radiate boldness.”
The initial range includes a Cafe
fairing for a “sexy, streamlined
