The all-new 2015 Arctic Cat XR Utility ATV |
ATVRiders.com was recently invited to Moab, UT to check out the 2015 Arctic Cat XR utility ATV model lineup. As always, Arctic Cat picked a great location for the XR ATV test ride at the Fins and Things trail. Fins and Things is about a ten mile long trail, with some steep hill climbs and descents, and provides spectacular views of the La Sal Mountains across the sandstone domes of Sand Flats. We had great weather for our test ride. Usually the temperatures in January are down in the 30’s at best, but that wasn’t the case as temps were hovering around the 50 degree mark for our journey.
