2018 Textron Off-Road Line

First round of 2018 Textrons announced.

While it’s true that the Arctic Cat brand name is officially extinct, Textron reminds that the legacy still burns bright with 18 models for the 2018 model year.

For those in need of a refresher, Textron Inc. acquired Arctic Cat this past March. Most Arctic Cat side-by-sides and ATVs, including the popular Alterra, Prowler and Wildcat product lines, will now carry the Textron Off Road brand name, joining the Textron Off Road Stampede side-by-side to form the 2018 model year lineup.

“With Textron Off Road, we are marrying Arctic Cat’s legacy of high performance, reliability and innovation to Textron’s powerful combination of engineering expertise, manufacturing know-how, and Fortune 200 resources,” said Kevin Holleran, president and CEO of Textron Specialized Vehicles Inc. “Together as Textron Off Road, we are creating a new leader in off-road vehicle performance.”
