Catterman has some good points about the Arctic Cat, that front diff lock is nice, it has IRS, (not a fan of IRS) and the same engine as the Eiger, but with all these extras it jumps the price up and it seems really heavy for a 400 at 633 lbs. Not downing the Arctic Cat it sounds nice, just looking at the big picture. I just feel good riding my Eiger and doing everything the 500 and 650's do in the mud and trail riding knowing that I paid $4800 and they paid $6000 - $7500.

IMO, the diff lock 4x4 system is better. Because when I hit the switch, my ATV will be in 4x4. Unlike the polaris which requires the rear wheels to slip 20% before it will engage the fronts. This is also very important for me with engine braking and going down hills. I am not saying anything bad about the Polaris, I used to ride them, but for my use the Arctic Cat system is better.
