Anyone?

 

They dont offer any yet. But dont be suprised if they release a new sport quad when Suzuki does. I cant see cat staying out of the sport quad sagment. Espeacily if you look at them in the snowmoble world. they thrive with performance sleds. heck there zr440 can be considered to the snowmobile world what the honda 250r is to the atving world. the zr440 flat out is on top of the mx series year in and year out with few exceptions of skidoo once and awhile. Just my thoughts

What kinda sport quad does Arctic Cat have?? Is that what you mean??

 

Yes

 

Hell, I thought my AC 500 Auto WAS the sport quad.? Hunting anyway, that's a sport isn't it??? Heh Heh Heh, sorry, couldn't resist.

No, AC doesn't make any sport quads as of yet. Who knows what's in the making.

ericsraptor,

cowboy couldn't have said it better. everybody has their own definition of sport and cowboy and i seem to have the same one. for example, take a top fuel dragster and enter it in a tractor pull that's like expecting a super sport quad (raptor) to be able to efficiently haul a 800 pound elk or a half ton moose out of terrain that would make a horse puke.
to me, 55 mph is enough speed for a quad that can perform double duty (sport/utility), unlike the 74.9 mph* raptor which does the sport thing very well but fails on the utility side.
i don't give a rat's *** if ac never offers a sport quad it won't change my opinion of them at all. in the auto world, how many new sportscars have been introduced lately? how many suv's?


*taken from the december 2000 issue of 4 wheel atv action when they compared the bomb. ds650 and the raptor 660.

just a redneck thought,
arctic cat 500 4x4 auto always cocked, locked, and ready to rock.

T-Cat:
Couldn't agree more buddy!

BTW-you stole my line! Heh Heh Heh just kidding, cocked, locked and ready to rock-good one, I use it often up at school-somebody's got to teach all them young college kids the way it's done, if you know what I mean. Just goes to show great minds think alike!

Take care, keep 'em coming, you know I'll back ya!

My cousin who works at the AC plant says that the engineers have been messing around with the new 660 cc 4 stroke snowmobile engine in a 500 frame. It only developes 45 hp and right now it's just a toy.

 

Why do they bother putting an Arctic Cat sticker on a Suzuki? Is that like what Mercury is to Ford? A sport quad? Maybe they'll get a good motor from Honda. I can't take a company serious until it builds its own thing.

 

Roman, If you actually go and look at an AC and a Suzuki you see allot of difference. Just sit on each one and you can tell a big difference in the seat alone. a few things the AC has over the Suzuki is better suspension, bigger gas tank, the racks can take more of a load, titian tires,and the heel toe shifter. these are just a few things. compare and you will see a big difference.
