Review of technical parameters of Arctic Cat Bearcat 570 XT

The Arctic Cat Bearcat 570 snowmobile is the simplest and most affordable representative of the line of utilitarian equipment produced by the American manufacturer. The main advantage of this snowmobile is its simple design, since utilitarian, also known as work snowmobiles, must have special requirements for reliability and reliability in everyday use in a wide variety of conditions. Most often, such machines are used at a fairly large distance from civilization.

This model uses a modern articulated rear suspension, Articulating Rear Suspension. The rear part of such a suspension is movable, thanks to which the manufacturer managed to increase the service life of the tracked mover, as well as the entire chassis. There is one feature that allows you to adjust the suspension to a specific type of surface, which significantly increases the vehicle's maneuverability. The track width is 510 millimeters, which is typical for most modern utilitarian snowmobiles. This width of the tracks also has a positive effect on the cross-country ability of the snowmobile, namely, this model is capable of confidently moving both on virgin snow and on compacted snow or the surface of a frozen reservoir.

The manufacturer equipped the snowmobile with a modern front suspension model AWS™ VII, which includes powerful and durable A-arms. Thanks to this, excellent controllability of the vehicle when cornering was achieved, as well as stable movement on a straight section. This also affected the maneuverability of the machine, as a result of which maneuvering between trees in forest areas for the Arctic Cat 570 snowmobile will become a fairly simple and easy task, which is undoubtedly a plus.

It is also worth paying special attention to the new Twin Spar™ chassis, built on the basis of two aluminum box side members. They connect the steering mounts and tunnel rails together. The peculiarity of this design is that it uses high-strength rivets, which connect all the chassis elements into one. In addition, the chassis has an unrivaled level of rigidity and, of course, durability.

At the front of the snowmobile there is a reinforced bumper, thanks to which the snowmobile is protected from various damages. The same bumper is installed in the rear, thanks to which the snowmobile can be rescued from a snow ambush.

Initially, this model is designed for two people, but if necessary, you can remove the passenger seat in just a couple of steps, thereby freeing up additional space for any small cargo. But in addition to this, the snowmobile can carry three people, which is achieved by installing an additional passenger seat. All these possibilities were due to the fact that the seats use a rail mounting system.

Like most other models, this one has a small luggage compartment under the driver's seat, which is often used to transport spare parts and necessary tools for troubleshooting various problems with the machine. This compartment is completely protected from environmental influences.

On the instrument panel there is a digital-analogue display that transmits to the driver all the necessary information about the operation of the equipment: travel speed, fuel level, engine temperature, ambient temperature, crankshaft speed of the power unit, daily mileage of the vehicle, number of engine hours worked, reverse gear and hazard lights .

Chassis system

The Arctic Cat Bearcat 570 XT uses a state-of-the-art Articulating Rear Suspension. Its end part is movable, thanks to which the manufacturer managed to increase the service life of the tracked propulsion unit and chassis. This feature made it possible to significantly increase the vehicle's cross-country ability.

The width of the running belt is 510 mm, which is typical for most modern utilitarian snowmobiles. Such a caterpillar has a positive effect on the vehicle’s maneuverability both on compacted snow and on the surface of a frozen reservoir.

Advantages and disadvantages of Arctic Cat Bearcat machines

Owners of the unpretentious Bearcat 750 snowmobile noted a number of advantages:

• Significant load capacity. The device, released in 2009, can carry up to 500 kg of cargo.
• Power and reliability. The Arctic snowmobile is designed for long trips.
• Compactness. The width of the device is 132 cm and the length is 325 cm.
• Comfortable. The comfortable seat makes the ride pleasant, and the open trunk allows you to store a lot of things.

Of course, it was not without its drawbacks. The owner will have to tinker with the starter and traction. But one visit to the workshop will be enough to solve possible problems.

Owner reviews

• This snowmobile was purchased a year ago. First impressions were good, light in weight, quite easy to control, wide track allows driving in deep snow. Later, shortcomings began to appear. The fuel level sensor fell off and fell into the gas tank, as it is attached to the tank cap. The starter began to show itself, fortunately there is a manual one. Fuel consumption leaves much to be desired, since it is a two-stroke engine, plus constant oil refilling. The fuel tank volume is 64 liters, the trunk volume is large, the trunk is larger than on the Viking. The power is not bad, it carries a 200 liter barrel on a sled with a bang. Gear shifting is a bit awkward. But overall a good workhorse.
• I have been interested in fishing since childhood, especially in winter, and I bought an Arctic CAt Bearcat 570 XT snowmobile to get around on ice. My first impression was that I was driving in a car with maximum comfort, thanks to the high windshield, there was no wind in my face, and if you turn on the heated grips, you could even drive without gloves. So I want to note that when designing this snowmobile, one very cunning idea was made: when you purchase an additional insert, you can move the seat back and insert it, thanks to which not two, but three people can sit on the snowmobile, fortunately here they surprised us again, so that The snowmobile did not sag much; in just 1 minute, springs were installed for better rigidity. The interior itself surprised me no less, the brutal front of the snowmobile stands out from the crowd, I took it without a doubt and recommend it to you.
• The snowmobile is pleasant, handles well, and allows you to ride on powder snow due to its wide track. Easy to use. Good fuel consumption. In operation for the 4th season there were no particularly serious breakdowns. That year the reverse gear switch just failed at the most inopportune moment. And so the snowmobile works without any complaints. Suitable for riding with the family and for hunting and fishing. My grandfather likes it because it is powerful enough for him and because it behaves well on a river in ice. The only thing is that the lug on it is small and sometimes it is not enough in some situations, for example when climbing uphill on powdery snow.
• The appearance is very nice, the price is not bad! It goes quietly, softly! Very good for hunting or work! It's up the hill! Drives like a regular utilitarian snowmobile! Something between a utility vehicle and a mountain snowmobile! Well, overall a very good car.
