2024 Arctic Cat Blast XR 4000
About the 2024 Arctic Cat Blast XR 4000
The 2024 Arctic Cat Blast XR 4000 is a mid-sized crossover snowmobile designed to bridge the gap between youth sleds and full-sized performance machines. It features a unique 397cc single-cylinder 2-stroke engine that provides a high power-to-weight ratio for both trail riding and light backcountry exploration. For 2024, the XR continues to offer a versatile 146-inch track length, making it more stable and capable in deep snow than the trail-oriented ZR models.
What Makes This Trim Special
- XR (Standard) — Equipped with a 1.6-inch lug Cobra track for better off-trail flotation and a 4-inch race-height windshield.
- XR Touring — Adds 2-up seating, a 15.5-inch high windshield, a 1.25-inch lug Ripsaw track, and a wider 39.5-40.5 inch adjustable ski stance. (Blast LT (partially))
- Overload Springs — Exclusive to the Touring trim to support the weight of a second passenger.

Yes, it features a push-button electronic engine reverse that rotates the engine backward to move the sled.
Yes, it uses a modern Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system for easy starting and consistent performance at different altitudes.
Owners typically report top speeds between 55 and 65 mph depending on snow conditions and rider weight.

The most effective fix is replacing the stock single-runner carbides with dual-runner carbides (like Woody's Slim Jims or Arctic Cat's dual offset runners).
