If you take your two-up riding
more seriously, the next
step in 2-up riding enjoyment
from Arctic Cat starts with the
2015 Arctic Cat TRV 550 XT and Arctic Cat TRV 550
Limited models.
Each of the Arctic Cat TRV 550 models
is built on an extended chassis
featuring a two-passenger
seat with padded backrest,
passenger handles and extra
footrests, making 2-up riding
comfortable for both the
driver and passenger. The Arctic Cat TRV
chassis features double A-Arm
front and rear suspensions
with 10 inches of travel and
11 inches of ground clearance,
so you can ride the rough with
confidence. Both models also
come with a rear swaybar for
enhanced cornering.
They’re powered by the
550H1 engine with alwaysoptimized
Electronic Fuel
Injection and matched by the
performance and dependability
of the Duramatic Automatic
transmission featuring convenient,
selectable electronic
2WD/4WD and front differential
lock via handlebar-mounted
switch.
For the ultimate in riding
comfort, the both models
feature Arctic Cat’s Variable
Assist Electronic Power Steering
(EPS) for steering assistance
that begins at engine
idle and provides significantly
reduced steering effort when
in 4WD, especially when the
differential lock is engaged.
The variable assist system is
driven by an electronic control unit (ECU) that measures steering
input force versus tire resistance
and vehicle speed then provides
appropriate assist to the steering
column through an electric
motor. The result is a light steering
input effort, but with enough
feedback so the rider senses the
tire contact patch in relation to
the terrain.
When it’s time to go solo, a
simple pin-pull system allows you
to easily remove the passenger
seat/backrest combo (XT) and
you’re ready to hit the trails, or
the seat can be replaced with
a rear rack or cargo box. Other
premium features include hydraulic
disc brakes, 12-in. aluminum
wheels, zero-maintenance suspension
bushings, sealed drive
shafts, a large 5.3-gallon fuel tank
and durable, full-length plastic
skid plate.
The Arctic Cat TRV 550 Limited offers the
premium touring features, including
a handlebar-mounted front
fairing; a lockable rear touring
case, mirrors and driver/passenger
hand warmers. |
