Hi, just heard today that the new atv Arctic-Cat is a 650cc, That's all the info. my Dealer had. In June we will all find out what other goodies it comes with.
Locker?
heavy-duty axles?
Titan 589 Tires?
What do you guys think?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

If it really is a 650 and has the type of mud ability of the 500i, it will be one bad *** machine.

 

The new 650 is a v-twin Kawi engine, not sure if is the same as Prairie or not. They are actually introducing 7 new models this year[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

650 v twin with 26" radials, locking front diff, electronic 4x4 and instrumentation new more powerful mastercylinder among other upgrades

 

also this year kaw is coming out with an 700 prairie same engine as the kfx.

 

Probably why the gave out their engine to suzuki. They aren't using the 650 engine this year, only a 700 prairie. I figure Suzuki will have a 650 also. Get ready for Yamaha to try and up theirs next year I guess. Its always a pissing match between these manufacturers. Honda owners- get ready to settle in on the Rincon for a few years though. But of course its pretty stupid to upgrade every year I guess too.

 

All that is right, except for the tires. Still will be 25", at least that is what their website says.

The 650 and 700 are the same engine, just more displacement
