2012 Arctic Cat TRV 550i GT 4x4 Utility ATV Introduction

Arctic Cat pioneered the concept of an ATV built to carry two riders in tandem. For 2012 the success of the 550i TRV line-up has two GT models featuring electronic power steering.

Arctic Cat’s Variable Assist Electronic Power Steering (EPS) allows steering assistance to the ATV before it even starts to move at idle. This is a huge benefit to conserving the riders input energy when in 4wd, and especially when the differential lock is engaged. Arctic Cat EPS will reduce the torque necessary to steer the ATV when changing direction with loaded racks or navigating tough obstacles like rocks, deep mud or logs.

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 Arctic Cat power steering ECU program is designed to maintain a light steering input effort, but maintains enough feel so you have a better understanding of what the tire contact patch is doing in relation to the terrain. Arctic Cat EPS will keep the rider and the ATV connected which is lost on competitive units after sustained riding.

Arctic Cat engines have power where it matters: the ground. Arctic Cat H1 engines have more pulling power, more climbing power and more acceleration. The potent 550H1 engine is a 545cc, SOHC, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder, designed for a wide torque curve and smoothest power delivery via Electronic Fuel Injection. The TRV has numerous features to ease riding convenience. Chief among them is a two-up seat with cushioned seat back for legal trail riding. Improved ergonomics and an easy pin-pull removal system allow you to transform the TRV into a single-rider vehicle. Passengers will appreciate integrated footrests for smooth and secure footing.

An all-encompassed electronic 2WD/4WD/Differential Lock switch on the right hand control makes going in/out of 4WD or Diff Lock an easier process.

Other premium features include zero-maintenance suspension bushings, sealed drive shafts, a large 6.5-gallon fuel tank and durable, full-length plastic skid plate
