Brand-new Alterra 600, Prowler Pro upgrades and new technology
Arctic Cat introduced a reinvigorated Model Year 2022 off-road lineup today. Below are the highlights from their media press release.
“Arctic Cat has been part of the powersports industry for 60 years, and the Model Year 2022 off-road lineup focuses on our continued dedication and investment in the brand,” said Heidi McNary, Vice President & General Manager, Powersports for Textron Specialized Vehicles Inc.
“Arctic Cat is Committed to the off-road industry…”
“From recently launching the all-new Alterra 600 models, to making substantial upgrades to the Prowler Pro, and then aligning with Garmin to provide state-of-the-art GPS technology integration, Arctic Cat is committed to the off-road industry, our dedicated riders and providing the ultimate experience on our vehicles.”
Announced in April, the all-new Alterra 600 ATV was built from the ground-up, featuring an all-new engine, drivetrain and chassis to deliver increased power, better handling, more durability and easier servicing. The vehicle’s all-new 600cc, single-cylinder, fuel-injected engine — built by Arctic Cat in the United States — offers 45 horsepower and complements its all-new chassis with a lower center of gravity for incredible balance, increased stability, and a performance-oriented ride experience.
Its CVT system features Arctic Cat-tuned CVTech Trailbloc drive and Invance driven clutches for increased performance, smooth low-speed engagement and longer belt life. The ATV was thoughtfully designed with a new steering geometry for more agility, an exhaust routed down and out of the middle of the vehicle to keep heat off the rider, electronic 4WD engagement and easily accessible storage under the handlebars.
The Alterra 600 is available in four different models:
BASE EPS
XT
LTD
SE
Arctic Cat has also made significant improvements to the three-person Prowler Pro and six-person Prowler Pro Crew for Model Year 2022. The Prowler Pro is known for its quiet 50-horsepower, 812cc EFI engine, comfortable ride, unmatched capabilities, ample storage, and durability.
To build upon these features, the 2022 models feature a new suspension with more ground clearance — up to 13 inches. The suspension is tuned for enhanced comfort and control, no matter the terrain.
Arctic Cat also beefed up the half-shafts to match the added capabilities of the revised suspension. The vehicles also feature a new performance-tuned CVTech clutches with Arctic Cat-tuned Trailbloc drive and Invance driven clutches.
Arctic Cat also improved the engine cooling system to reduce fan run time and enhance engine performance. All models are equipped with an aggressive new bumper with integrated headlight protection and new aluminum, seven-spoke wheels providing the perfect finishing touch.
The Prowler Pro and Crew are available in three models:
BASE IN MEDIUM GREEN
XT in Phantom Grey featuring a premium front bumper, Medium Green springs, 4,500-lb. winch, LED-accented front lights, and standard roof.
LTD in Fossil with color-matched Spark Orange front bumper, springs and ROPS; premium seats; 4,500-lb. winch; LED-accented front lights; standard roof and overhead storage console.
For 2022, the Wildcat XX LTD and SE models are equipped with the all-new ADAPT clutch system featuring Arctic Cat-designed drive and driven clutches for increased performance and better serviceability. The system provides faster acceleration and a smoother power delivery for a more exhilarating ride. ADAPT’s constant belt tension throughout the ride and improved cooling results in minimized wear and longer belt life with lower emissions.
The Wildcat XX is available in three models:
XX BASE in Fossil and Black with Spark Orange accents and a color-matched suspension
LTD in Flat Black with Medium Green accents featuring a color-matched suspension and ROPS. The vehicle also includes the ADAPT CVT, and front and rear bumpers
