Arctic Cat 650 H1 4x4 ATV Overview
|
The 650 H1
proved to the world and every other ATV
manufacturer that it is one tough nut to
crack when raced in the World Powersports
Association’s brutal rock, log, and
mud obstacles. The 650 H1 in stock trim
brought home a Quad Terrain championship
in its inaugural 2006 season deeming this
a “race ready” quad.
The 650 H1 is a single-cylinder,
liquid-cooled, 641 cc four-stroke engine
designed by Arctic Cat for massive low-end
and mid-range torque. The automatic transmission
will take riders through or over just about
anything without so much as a whimper. The
650 H1’s are loaded for any work,
play, or race you demand of them.
The plastic bodywork calls
attention to the H1 with extra-wide fenders
to protect the rider from mud and water
spray, “cat-eye” headlights
add style and excellent illumination, and
integrated full-length plastic floorboards
enhance sure-footed traction. The seat is
wider for increased comfort, and the seat
latch allows quick removal and access to
a handy tool tray.
Handling the power and torque
of the H1 is an equally capable chassis
that includes a double A-arm fully independent
rear suspension (FIS) and double A-arm front
with adjustable-preload shocks and 10-inches
of suspension travel. Ground clearance is
a best-in-class 12 inches which, coupled
with a full-length high-density plastic
skid plate, gives riders the confidence
to clear large obstacles without damaging
the frame.
Complementing the all-powerful
goodies on this machine are features designed
for comfort and convenience. Newly designed
slimline SpeedRacks lost some weight while
still offering dozens of accessory attachment
options. Going from 2WD to 4WD is as simple
as pressing an electronic shift button,
while activating the full-lock front differential
requires only a flip of a handlebar-mounted
lever. A 2-in. “automotive-style”
receiver hitch, long-range 6.5-gallon gas
tank, digital instrument pod (MPH, odometer,
dual trip meters, hour meter, clock, and
fuel level), and Start-In-Gear capability
complete the package.
If you want to haul the
mail in a race, or just haul a load, check
out the Arctic Cat 650 H1 H1. It will bring
more than a championship home.

Arctic
Cat 650 H1 4x4 ATV Chassis/Suspension:
|
- Fully Independent
Suspension (FIS) - Arctic Cat
ATV’s have an optional sway bar
available as an accessory purchase through
your authorized dealer. Similar to any
off-road 4x4 vehicle, eliminating the
sway bar lets the 10” of front or
rear Fully Independent Suspension articulate
through the full range of suspension travel.
This increased articulation provides full
tire contact in all types of off-camber
terrain. The addition of the sway bar
will impact the traction capabilities;
however, it will enhance flatter cornering
in aggressive trail riding

Ground Clearance - 12”
of ground clearance enhances the ability
to navigate through mud or over large
rocks, logs, and other objects encountered
in rough terrain

(5 rear positions, 5 front positions)
on the shocks to tailor the ride to individual
riding styles, terrains, and loads
- On-The-Fly Electric
Shift 2WD to 4WD with Front Locking Differential
- Full-lock front differential transfers
engine torque to both front wheels when
selected for added traction with a flip
of the switch. 2WD/4WD switch is located
on right-side handlebar for quick, convenient
shifting in and out of four wheel drive
- Large Capacity
SpeedRacks - Industry leading
weight capacity and overall cargo carrying
surface area allows 100 lb carrying capacity
on the front rack and 200 lbs on the rear
