The Arctic Cat ATV And Snowmobile
By Calum MacDonald

Arctic Cat snowmobiles were first manufactured in 1960. The company that made them officially changed its name to Arctic Cat in 1996. Today, it's as well-known for its all terrain vehicles (ATV) as for its snowmobile. The Arctic Cat ATV line features four stroke Suzuki motors that range from 50cc to 700cc. Nearly all have full independent suspension which aids traction and control since it enables all four tires to make contact with the ground no matter what the terrain. To enable long-distance trips, the Arctic Cat ATV comes with long distance fuel capacity.

The Snowmobiles

The snowmobile line is built to the same strict standards as the Arctic Cat ATV. They have Infinite Rider Positioning (IRP) which adjusts to seven seat positions, allowing the best seating for riders of all sizes. The handlebars, windshield and footrests also adjust for comfort and safety. The two and four stroke engines are designed to maximize the balance while increasing power and speed and decreasing fuel consumption.

Improvements to the internal cooling path have increased the functioning of the engine cooling system. Torque and fuel consumption have improved in the newer models thanks to an increased flow intake passage. A higher output magneto improves the electrical system performance. The engines in the Arctic Cat ATV and snowmobiles feature liquid cooling.

The new four stroke Z1 1100 snowmobile has a laydown design that mimics the successful two stroke one – already known for its ability to keep the vehicle's weight low, front and center for the best stability. The engine is quieter and smoother, too. The new Twin Spar chassis brings a solid framework that improves handling and performance. The default riding position now allows the riders feet to rest directly below the knees, making it feel more natural and create a less tiring ride. This chassis is less prone to vertical bending. The Arctic Cat ATV and snowmobiles continue to set the pace for quad quality and cutting edge technology. The manufacturer takes the good reputation of the Arctic Cat ATV and snowmobile very seriously and works hard to maintain its place among sports and utility vehicles. The demands of rough terrain and cold weather are met with dependable features and safety features that help to ensure that riders of the Arctic Cat ATV and snowmobile are never stuck in the wilderness because of product failure or poor construction.
