2016 Arctic Cat 500 4x4 ATV Preview

The 2016 Arctic Cat 500 4x4 enjoys a reputation as the value-priced leader in the 500 class of premium mid-range ATVs due to its ideal blend of performance, durability and value.

Putting power to the ground matters most. Credit goes to the Arctic Cat H1 engine and Duramatic Automatic transmission that consistently deliver more pulling power, more climbing power and smooth, consistent acceleration. The potent liquid-cooled 443cc engine delivers a wide torque curve with smooth, consistent power thanks to its Electronic Fuel Injection and 2WD/4WD/4WD Diff Lock capability.

The 500 4x4 is built on the proven Arctic Cat chassis with front and rear double-A-arm suspensions that offer 10 inches of preload-adjustable travel and 11 inches of class-leading ground clearance. The combination of the narrow bodywork, low ride height and low center of gravity deliver unmatched rider confidence for aggressive cornering and sure-footed handling. The result: plush and capable performance for everyone from hunters to trail riders.

For ease and convenience, front and rear racks feature 100-/200-lb. capacities and 12-inch black steel wheels are wrapped in 25x8-12 front and 25x10-12 rear tires.
