Truly, the Mud Pro 1000 is the biggest ATV
on the planet and tuned to beat any competitors
in mud competition.
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.
The biggest durability change is crucial
to any consumer's mud riding success: axles.
Picking up where the aftermarket left off, the
1000i Mud Pro axles are 17 percent stronger
than the leading aftermarket brand. In order
to withstand the extreme stress of Arctic
Cat's high-horsepower H2 engine mixed with
aggressive 28-in. Maxxis Zilla tires, Arctic Cat
delivered the absolute in strength and durability
straight from the Factory.
An industry leading 14 inches of ground
clearance and big 28-in. Maxxis Zilla tires will
get you nowhere if water gets into your intake
systems. That's why Arctic Cat designed
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.
The stance and suspension were addressed
next with competition spring and shock valving
and preload changes tailored specifically
for the Mud Pro's taller 28- in. Maxxis Zilla
tires. Arctic Cat tuned the clutching and 3:1
gearing in harmony with the EFI mapping to
provide the ultimate performance gains in
low end torque and acceleration.
To cap off the Mud Pro package, Team
Arctic graphics are standard, as well as front
and rear heavy duty bumpers and 14-inch
aluminum rims.
