Alterra 450
BUILT FOR OUTSIDE. BUILT TO OUT RIDE.
We took the brand-new body style and endless capabilities of the full-sized Alterra, and adapted them for the more compact 450/400 mid-sized models. Part workhorse, part warrior, these machines are more nimble, lightweight and versatile than the competition. Everything from the Duramatic automatic transmission, trail-tuned independent suspension, on-the-fl y 2WD/4WD and rear hitch, all the way down to the front winch and powder coated steel rims that give you 11"/27,9cm of ground clearance. Needless to say, we didn’t mess around with these newly styled Alterras.
Features
Fully Independent Suspension (Midsize)
The fully independent suspension on the Alterra™ 450 and 400 models gives you an impressive 10 inches of ground clearance and 7 inches of suspension travel on a smaller machine. The double A-arms optimize wheel motion, translating into more responsive steering and better cornering.
Front and Rear Impact-Resistant Racks
Strong and durable. These impact-resistant racks are rated for 75 lbs. carrying capacity on the front and 150 lbs. on the rear.
Transmission Automatic Duramatic
Our Duramatic™ automatic transmission is as bulletproof as they come. It’s made of a centrifugal clutch with primary and driven belt clutches. As RPMs rise, the centrifugal clutch engages, allowing the primary clutch to be engaged with the belt at all times, reducing belt wear and extending belt life.
Traction ATV
When you need to go places, over places and through places – traction is paramount. And Arctic Cat ATVs give you plenty of it. Articulation keeps all four wheels in constant contact with the ground. Even over rocks, logs and other big stuff you may encounter. Four wheels on the ground means better traction and an overall better ride. Hit the on-the-fly 2WD/4WD switch when you need to get out of nasty places. When you’re in even nastier places, push the switch up again and that engages the front differential lock
