Thief River Falls, MN
(11/26/2013) - The big Wildcat news
is actually something small. The Arctic Cat
Wildcat line-up just got wilder with two new
models that are 50 inches wide; behold the Arctic
Cat Wildcat Trail that sets a new standard in
power, ground clearance and suspension travel.
Modern technology brings
you more horsepower, less
weight, improved efficiency
and long-lasting durability.
The all-new Arctic Cat
designed 700 parallel-twin
features EFI, 4-valves per
cylinder and liquid cooling.
This next generation 60-plus
horsepower engine was designed specifically
for the Arctic Cat Wildcat Trail chassis and
the engine feeds into the TEAM Rapid Response
clutches and electronic selectable 2WD/4WD with
front differential lock. The Wildcat Trail has
the industry’s lowest power-to-weight ratio
and will dust the competition in a head-to-head
drag race.
The Wildcat Trail frame
features a 40-/60-percent
front/rear weight distribution
for optimal handling
at any speed. The driver
and passenger are located 3
inches lower than the competition
so you are seated
near the low center of gravity,
leaving occupants less
affected by the movements
of the vehicle with greater
confidence and control. With an industry-leading
|
The Arctic
Cat WildCat Trail 700 is at home on wooded trails with its narrow width |
10/10.5 inches of front/
rear suspension travel and
10 inches of ground clearance,
both Wildcats are
built to navigate over trail
obstacles. The front and rear
double A-arm suspensions
have a swaybar which keeps
the tires planted while the
suspension moves through
its travel for unmatched
traction and control. And
something the competition
doesn’t have to smooth out
the trails is premium FOX
nitrogen gas-charged shocks.

Cat WildCat Trail 700 can take you to some breath taking scenery! |
Other comfort-and-control
features include high back
bucket seats with upper
body supports, tilt steering,
center console sport shifter,
digital gauge, rear LED
taillights, passenger handhold
and 3-point seat belts;
plus an all-new easy-access
hinged door with industryleading
automotive style
handles/ latches to compliment
the exterior lines.
A 300 lb. payload in
the rear cargo bed is large
enough to carry a cooler
and a Jerry can of gas, a rear
2-inch receiver and 12-inch
steel wheels with 4-ply
Carlisle Trail Pro tires were
designed exclusively for the
Wildcat Trail. Available in
Green, Lime or Red.
The Wildcat Trail XT adds color-matched
bucket seats, machined cast-aluminum 12-inch
wheels and automotive- style paint in Team Arctic
Green Metallic or Matte Black to complete the
package.
