The 2017 Arctic Cat XC 450 4x4 is made for riders seeking sport performance in an easy-to-ride package that won’t break the bank or require a racing license. It’s built for crossover versatility, with a go-anywhere demeanor and sportinspired performance.
Powered by the smooth, consistency of the potent 443cc, SOHC, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder, the XC delivers sporty mid-range power via Electronic Fuel Injection that optimizes performance in all temperatures and elevations. Attacking the trails is effortless thanks to the lightweight, ultra-tough chassis featuring A-arm fully independent rear suspension (FIS) and double A-arm front featuring 5-way preload adjustable shocks and 7 inches of suspension travel. A rear-mounted swaybar keeps the rear of the XC 450 planted during aggressive cornering while ground clearance remains an industry leading 10 inches allowing trail riders to tackle gnarly terrain with confidence.
An electronic 2WD/4WD switch on the right hand control makes going in or out of 4WD an easy process, while the sport-inspired painted bodywork provides ample mud protection and is available in painted Team Arctic Green. Standard equipment includes attractive 12-in cast-aluminum wheels, 2-in. receiver hitch with a 1,050-lb. towing capacity, digital instrument pod and Start-In-Gear capability.
