Arctic Cat® Inc., a Textron Inc. (NYSE:TXT) company, introduced several new off-road models and a growing partnership with Garmin as part of its Model Year 2023 launch. The growing lineup offers more vehicles that cater to a wider variety of riders so more enthusiasts can enjoy the great outdoors.
“Model Year 2023 offers more targeted models developed to conquer unique terrains, continuing to show our commitment to the industry and giving off-road enthusiasts more opportunities to share the ride,” said Heidi McNary, Vice President & General Manager, Powersports for Textron Specialized Vehicles Inc.
2023 Arctic Cat Prowler Pro:
The Prowler Pro is known for its quiet 50-horsepower, 812cc EFI engine, comfortable ride, unmatched capabilities, ample storage, and durability. Last year, Arctic Cat made significant improvements to the three-person Prowler Pro and six-person Prowler Pro Crew side-by-sides including a new suspension with more ground clearance — up to 13 inches.
It also has enhanced half-shafts to match the added capabilities of the revised suspension and a new performance-tuned CVTech clutch that is perfectly suited to utility applications, with Arctic Cat-tuned Trailbloc drive and Invance driven clutches for increased performance, smooth low-speed engagement, and long life.
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 that provide the perfect finishing touch.
The Model Year 2023 Prowler Pro and Crew are available in three models:
- EPS in Medium Green
- XT in Phantom Grey featuring a premium front bumper, Medium Green springs, 4,500-lb. Warn® 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. WARN Winch; LED-accented front lights; standard roof and overhead storage console
2023 Arctic Cat Wildcat:
The Wildcat™ XX side-by-side was built for a superior ride in every aspect with its trailing-arm rear suspension. Its off-road racing-inspired suspension system features standard 30-inch tires and heavy-duty components to deliver exceptional handling and more than 18 inches of travel in the front and rear. The FOX® 2.5 PODIUM QS3 Shocks with Bottom-Out Control are precision-tuned at the factory, with the flexibility to absorb and smooth out the most challenging rides.
The Wildcat XX’s powerful 130 horsepower, 998cc three-cylinder EFI engine offers unmatched power to the ground for an exhilarating ride experience. The vehicle also features high electrical output to power various accessories for additional customization, and its spacious cabin is comfortable for a wide variety of riders.
For Model Year 2023, the Wildcat XX lineup welcomes the Black Hills Edition for those who like the ultimate off-road adventure. The model’s 32-inch tires, lower gear ratio in the transaxle, rock sliders and bumpers make it a superior rock crawling machine. It also features a modified Garmin TREAD™ SxS Navigator with an 5.5-inch ultrabright display and an Extended Range Antenna, which replaces the external inReach® antenna included with the Garmin Tread accessory package.
The rugged powersport device features turn-by-turn trail navigation for traversing unpaved roads and trails. The Navigator comes preloaded with topographic maps, U.S. public and private landowner information and subscription-free Birdseye Satellite Imagery. The integrated system ensures enthusiasts can find the toughest trails, communicate with other riders and get back to the trailhead at the end of a great ride. Garmin TREAD also can be seamlessly integrated into other Wildcat XX models, Prowler Pro and Alterra 600 EPS ATVs as part of the continued relationship.
The full Wildcat XX EPS lineup includes:
- XX 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
- SE in Phantom Grey with Electric Blue accents featuring color-matched suspension and ROPS. The vehicle also includes the ADAPT CVT, front bumper and rock sliders
- Wildcat XX Black Hills Edition in White
