Arctic Cat Expands the Wildcat PerformanceClass with New Sport Models
The Wildcat Sport’s chassis is110.5 in. long and 60 in. wide, com-pared to the Trail’s 110.5 x 50-in.chassis and the original Wildcat’s128 x 64-in. frame. The rider and passenger positions are set a full 3in. lower than competitive models to produce a low center-of-gravity,leaving the occupants less affect-ed by vehicle movements while optimizing vehicle handling.
The performance engineered chassis is complemented by its bump-swallowing double A-Arm front and swaybar-equipped rear suspensions with 12.2 in. and12.6 in. of travel, plus 13 in. of rock-clearing ground clearance.Add 26-in. Carlisle Trail Pro tires to the mix and the result is driving confidence and control in even the gnarliest terrain.
Powering the new Wildcat Sport is a 60-plus-hp, liquid-cooled700 parallel twin engine that was designed by Arctic Cat (and that debuted on the Wildcat Trail).Featuring a closed-loop EFI system and four valves per cylinder, this powerful engine earns its class-leading distinction for sporty fun,smoothness and durability.
TEAM Rapid Response clutches maximize that horsepower and performance, while electronic-selectable 2WD/4WD (with front differential lock) provide the exact riding performance that riders want the moment they ask for it.And dual-piston caliper hydraulic brakes offer enhanced braking performance.
Occupant comfort is a hallmark of Arctic Cat Wildcats, and theSport follows suit with high-back bucket seats (with upper body supports); fully-variable tilt steer-ing; a sport shifter on the center console; easy-access hinged doors with automotive-style handles and latches; passenger hand-hold;3-point seat belts; digital gauge; and premium halogen lights withLED taillights.
Built for sporting fun, theWildcat Sport also delivers useful features like a 300-lb. payload in the rear cargo bed, a 2-in. receiver and 1500-lb. towing capacity.
The base model Sport comes with steel 12-in. wheels, JRi ECX-1shocks and the option of LimeGreen or Red.
The Sport XT offers cast-aluminum wheels, automotive-style paint and color-matched suspension arms. It’s available in ViperBlue or Vibrant Red Metallic.
The amped-up Sport LimitedEPS package features electronic power steering; Elka Stage 5shocks with Dual-Speed Compression and rebound adjustability;full aluminum doors; an under-hood storage box; plus automotive-style paint and color-matched suspension arms. It’s available inWhite Metallic or Matte Black.
