1000 XT
MY 2016
TRAIL-TESTED PERFORMANCE
The 1000 XT is revered for its 951cc, Arctic Cat-built H2 EFI engine’s performance, as well as its durability and proven trail record. To beef up an already impressive list of features, these machines come standard with electronic power steering (EPS), ride-in front and rear suspension, an on-machine SpeedRack and easy-access storage. You also get a 3.000 lbs. winch, rear hitch, sway bar and aluminum rims, which pair nicely with the toughness of that automotive-style paint.
Features
2WD/4WD FRONT DIFFERENTIAL LOCK
Arctic riders prefer to be in control with their on-the-fly 2WD/4WD. In 2WD, steering is light and nimble. Shift on the fly into 4WD and power is delivered to the front wheels. The front wheels spin at different speeds while the steering effort remains minimal. For the ultimate traction, activate the electronic front differential lock and power is sent to all four wheels, enabling you to crawl, climb and continue on with confidence.
Ride-In Suspension
Our Ride-In suspension features a lower center of gravity while rivaling the competition for best ground clearance and suspension travel. The double A-arms prevent deflections during cornering, resulting in ultra-responsive steering.
Electronic power steering / tilt steering
EPS delivers a true variable assist system by measuring not only vehicle speed, but also steering torque at both the handlebars and wheels. The electronic control unit measures steering input forces, resistance and speed, instructing the motor to deliver turning forces at predetermined levels. And let’s not forget tilt steering, allowing you to adjust the steering wheel higher or lower, however you want.
