The 1000 returns in XT trim for 2013
with a newly calibrated ride-in suspension
that utilizes a swaybar and is still
one of the most powerful, torqueladen
machines in the industry.
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 H2
engines have more pulling power, more
climbing power and more acceleration.
The H2 is the largest displacement
engine in the industry. The V-Twin,
SOHC, liquid cooled, 951cc, Electronic
Fuel Injection (EFI) four stroke is built
for massive torque and serious arm
stretching power. Arctic Cat engineers
crafted this torque-tuned motor for
the ultimate acceleration.
An all-encompassed electronic
2WD/4WD/Differential Lock switch on
the right hand control makes going in
and out of 4WD or Diff Lock an easy
process.
The stance and ride-in suspension
are race-bred and performancecalibrated
with 11 inches of ground
clearance and 10 inches of suspension
travel. All that horsepower works
in harmony with a lengthened 2-in.
wheelbase (52.5-in.), and newly added
swaybar for optimized control, cornering
and high speed handling.
All new White Metallic painted
fenders can be waxed and buffed and
will be sure to get you noticed. Front/
rear SpeedRacks have a 100/200-lb.
rack capacity. 12-in. aluminum wheels
wrapped with aggressive 25-in.
Maxxis BigHorn 2.0 tires cap off the
XT package.
