Arctic Cat expands its popular
Wildcat series for 2015 with the
Wildcat Sport, a stunning new
two-seat performance ROV that
slots in-between the original Wildcat
and the Wildcat Trail.
The Arctic Cat Wildcat Sport’s chassis is
110.5 in. long and 60 in. wide, compared
to the Trail’s 110.5 x 50-in.
chassis and the original Wildcat’s
128 x 64-in. frame. The rider and
passenger positions are set a full 3
in. lower than competitive models
to produce a low center-of-gravity,
leaving the occupants less affected
by vehicle movements while
optimizing vehicle handling.
The performance engineered
chassis is complemented by its
bump-swallowing double A-Arm
front and swaybar-equipped rear
suspensions with 12.2 in. and
12.6 in. of travel, plus 13 in. of
rock-clearing ground clearance.
Add 26-in. Carlisle Trail Pro tires
to the mix and the result is driving
confidence and control in even the
gnarliest terrain.
Powering the new Wildcat
Sport is a 60-plus-hp, liquid-cooled
700 parallel twin engine that was
designed by Arctic Cat (and that
debuted on the Wildcat Trail).
Featuring a closed-loop EFI system
and four valves per cylinder, this
powerful engine earns its classleading
distinction for sporty fun,
smoothness and durability.
TEAM Rapid Response clutches

performance, while electronicselectable

differential lock) provide the exact
riding performance that riders
want the moment they ask for it.
