Arctic
Cat 550 H1 4x4 ATV Chassis/Suspension:
|
- Improved Rider
Input -
12” steel wheel design has an optimized
scrub radius minimizing the rider steering
effort.
- Positive Shifting
- A new
shift detent profile in the lever linkage
allows for improved positive shifting
- Thundercat Halfshafts
- Developed from the Quad Terrain
Race circuit, All new halfshafts (axles)
were adopted from the Thundercat to increase
durability and strength
for the most brutal offroad conditions.
- New Headlight
Bulb Sockets -
The right-hand headlight bulb sockets
have been redesigned to eliminate the
bulb popping out, decreasing the chance
of the headlight housing
filling with moisture.
- Fully Independent
Suspension (FIS) How it works with or
without a swaybar - Arctic
Cat ATVs have an optional sway bar available
as an accessory purchase through your
authorized dealer. Similar to any off-road
4x4 vehicle, eliminating the sway bar,
lets the 10” of front or rear Fully
Independent Suspension articulate through
the full range of suspension travel. This
increased articulation provides full tire
contact in all types of off-camber terrain.
The addition of the sway bar will impact
the traction capabilities; however, it
will enhance flatter cornering in aggressive
trail riding

center of gravity for precise cornering
- Performance Minded
Ergonomics - The
