Remember
when mom would tell you to stay out of the
mud? Well, now we’re telling you to
jump right back in. Introducing the all-new
700 H1 EFI Mud Pro. As you can tell, this
competition machine is all about running
through the deep stuff competitively; straight
off the showroom floor.
Just like the rest of our
race ready ATVs, the H1 evolution of hemi-producing
power continues with EFI. After two consecutive
Quad Terrain Championships, the 700 H1 EFI
has a powerful 695cc, SOHC, single-cylinder,
liquid-cooled engine, designed for a wide
torque curve with the smoothest power delivery
via Electronic Fuel Injection. Cold weather
starting and altitude changes are no longer
questionable.
The H1’s
Performance Mud Chassis
To start with, Team Arctic
mud racers were crucial to the Mud Pro design.
They told us what they wanted; we built
it for them! First was a slightly taller
seat that has been raised an inch, combined
with a new handlebar design for better mud
riding ergonomics.
The stance and suspension
were addressed next with competition spring
and shock valving and preload changes tailored
specifically for the Mud Pro’s taller
Highlifter Outlaw MST tires. Team Arctic
mud racers demanded there was only one choice
when it came to gearing; it had to have
4.0 gears and clutching specifically tuned
for the gears. Arctic Cat tuned both in
harmony with the EFI mapping to provide
the ultimate performance gains in low end
torque and acceleration.

An industry leading 14”
of ground clearance and big tires will get
you nowhere if water gets into your intake
systems. That’s why Arctic Cat went
one step further by designing an elevated
Intake and Clutch snorkel to keep the CVT
belt dry and cool through the deepest holes.
The Mud Pro snorkel system takes the guesswork
out of designing one in your garage. Specific
EFI calibrations tuned in conjunction with
the gearing, clutching, intake and tires
produce the maximum horsepower in all conditions.
(System does not retrofit other FIS Arctic
Cats)
Switching from 2WD to 4WD
is as simple as pressing a handlebar mounted
shift button, while activating the front
diff-lock is now easier as pushing the all-new
electronic rocker switch button located
on the instrument pod. A 2-in. “automotive
style” receiver hitch, long-range
6.5-gallon fuel tank, digital instrument
pod (MPH, odometer, dual trip meters, hour
meter, clock and fuel level) and Start-In-Gear
capability complete the package.
From the front headlights
to the rear brake lights, the 700 H1 Mud
Pro screams show as well as go. Extra wide
fenders add protection on muddy courses.
A latch on the seat allows quick access
to the handy tool tray below. Arctic Cat
puts the power to the trails with a fully-independent
front and rear double A-arm suspension.
Equipped with preload adjustable shocks
which, coupled with a full-length skid plate,
gives riders the confidence needed to venture
almost anywhere, over any obstacle. One
can’t help but notice the race-derived
Competition Green Metallic painted fenders
that can be waxed and buffed. To cap off
the Mud Pro package, front and rear heavy
duty bumpers are standard, and new rolling
attire via an all-new 12” aluminum
wheel are wrapped with aggressive 28”
Highlifter Outlaw MST tires.
Easily removable engine
covers shield mud from the engine while
creating a clean appearance to the engine
compartment. SpeedRacks have a slim, body-hugging
appearance with 100/200-lb. rack capacities
front/rear. Get out there and compete on
an Arctic Cat Hemi H1. Monotony has never
faced such potent adversaries.
