Yamaha Grizzly 700 Fuel consumption per 100 • Model features

The Yamaha Grizzly 700 series of utilitarian ATVs is rightfully considered one of the most successful Yamaha models in this segment. The first model from this series, the Yamaha Grizzly 700 FI, appeared back in 2007. Today, ATVs YFM 700 EPS, YFM 700 EPS SE and YFM 700 EPS CAMO, released in 2015 and 2016, are available at dealers, and similar models of different years of manufacture have some differences among themselves.

Yamaha Grizzly 700: technical specifications and owner reviews

Every ATV fan has a special place in their heart for Yamaha's largest 4x4, the Grizzly. However, the reason for its popularity is not its size. The Grizzly is equipped with a SOHC engine, displacing less than 700 cc, which is inferior in power to almost all high-performance models. When the race for numbers began on the market, the engine volumes of utilitarian ATVs first increased from 700 cm3 to 750 cm3, then rose to 800 cm3 and finally stopped at 1000 cm3. However, Yamaha stood its ground and focused on more practical features. Grizzly attracts buyers thanks to its balanced functionality, which will continue to sell this car for many years to come. The 2014 Grizzly 700 was no exception to the rule. Yamaha could easily have limited itself to changing the color of the ATV. Instead, the Japanese listened to the opinions of numerous dealers and consumers, making this excellent all-terrain vehicle even better.

The Grizzly's 686cc liquid-cooled SOHC engine is the largest engine in Yamaha's ATV and UTV arsenal. If you think bigger is better, skip this article and check out the Kawasaki Brute Force 750, Polaris Sportsman 850 or Can-Am 800, as well as the other 1000cc 4WD models in our ATV Buyers Guide. However, if you prefer practicality, then you will certainly enjoy the wide powerband of the Grizzly 700, which appeared in the 2014 models thanks to a redesigned cylinder head, a new piston shape that allowed increased compression (from 9.1:2 to 10.0:1) , improved lower rev ranges and more responsive throttle response. Even at an altitude of more than 1.8 km above sea level, the Grizzly, equipped with a unique electronic fuel injection system, performs perfectly.

Review of the Arctic Cat Prowler 700 HDX Limited 2014 all-terrain vehicle

All-season work machine

We've been riding models like the Polaris RZR 900 XL LE and Can-Am Maverick 1000R X rs a lot lately, but it's time to break the habit a little and test out Arctic Cat's new utilitarian 2014 Prowler 700 HDX Limited.

At first glance, the Prowler makes a good impression. The HDX Limited comes with iridescent green paint, Duro Kaden tires and polished aluminum wheels. The design, although not distinguished by freshness and novelty, is exactly what a utilitarian working machine should have - stern and bold.

The Limited trim level of the Prowler HDX features automotive grade paint and aluminum wheels.

The Prowler 700 HDX Limited is powered by an Arctic Cat 700 H1 four-stroke engine: a single cylinder, 695 cc liquid cooled engine with Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI). Four valves and a tent-shaped combustion chamber design make this engine more powerful than other single-cylinder engines with a standard chamber. The 700 H1 is assembled at the Arctic Cat plant in St. Cloud, Minnesota.

The car was test driven in late autumn in the Rocky Mountains. This allowed for a real test of the Arctic Cat single cylinder engine. Often, along with high altitude, low autumn-winter temperatures and fluctuations in humidity have a negative impact on engine performance, but the 700 H1 coped surprisingly well with all these factors. Of course, due to altitude and thin air, all engines lose power, be it two-stroke or four-stroke; Only superchargers and turbochargers save you from this. The engine power of the 700 H1 is more than enough for a car of this class, and fuel consumption is very economical.

The engine is paired with a Duramatic Automatic Transmission. It has high and low gears, reverse and a parking brake. The transmission uses a wet clutch, which extends drive belt life and is easy to engage. Another nice feature of the Prowler HDX is the easily switchable all-wheel drive (4WD) system with an electric locking front differential, which is especially helpful on snowy or muddy difficult sections of the road.

Thanks to the locking front differential, the Prowler HDX has no problem traversing snow.

Let's move on to the suspension - it is completely independent on the Prowler. The double A-arm design provides 254 millimeters of vertical suspension travel (both front and rear). There is also a powerful anti-roll bar at the rear. In truth, we did notice some body roll when cornering, but nothing major.

As written above, the Prowler HDX Limited is equipped with Duro 3 Star Kaden tires and aluminum wheels. Front tire dimensions are 26x9R14, rear tire dimensions are 26x11R14. We think this is an excellent option for a car of this type. And the wheels look nice.

The Prowler HDX Limited lives up to its status as a utilitarian car: the model weighs 618 kilograms, and the wheelbase (2159 mm) is 250 millimeters longer than the Prowler XTX. This wheelbase made it possible to install a spacious cargo platform like on a dump truck, which can transport up to 453 kilograms. In addition, the car can tow up to 680 kilograms - impressive figures.

Also worth mentioning are the two-inch trailer hitches front and rear on the Prowler. It’s nice when the manufacturer includes them in the basic package, and you don’t have to buy them separately as an accessory.

To test the HDX's capabilities, we attached a hydraulic, gas-powered log splitter to the rear hitch, and loaded the cargo bed with chainsaws and cans of fuel and oil. The machine handled the load extremely well, making one wonder, “How did we ever get by without a Prowler HDX Limited on the farm?”

The Prowler HDX easily towed split firewood with the cargo bed loaded with tools and fuel.

In the process of transporting the log splitter and tools, we found out that the engine and transmission are easier in first gear. The Prowler HDX Limited Edition suspension features Fox Float shock absorbers with coilovers. She coped well even with maximum load.

Of course, the car's handling and ride change when it's loaded. Over rough terrain and with a load, the Prowler HDX moved forward best in low gear.

One of the main features of the Limited Edition package is the presence of electric power steering (EPS). The system automatically adjusts to reduce or increase input depending on speed: the power steering provides more assistance at low speeds and less intervention at high speeds. EPS works perfectly, no matter whether the machine is loaded or not, high speed or low. Light steering and predictable clutch engagement make travel easy and enjoyable.

There are such convenient side compartments under the cargo platform.

Under the hood, the Prowler has a large storage compartment, the perfect place to keep your essentials protected from the elements. The manufacturer also added two containers under the cargo platform near the rear wheels. The 2-in-1 platform itself, by the way, can easily be converted into a flatbed for large loads. Moreover, it tilts: lower the tailgate, unlock the platform and lift it. Comfortable!

The Prowler HDX model is equipped with a 40-20-40 three-person bench seat. Even the middle seat has a full seat belt. It may be a little cramped for three adults, but no worse than, for example, in an airplane cabin. It is better for the smallest passenger to sit right in the middle.

Three adult men can sit in the Prowler HDX Limited, but it will be a bit cramped. Just perfect for two.

Arctic Cat designed the Prowler HDX Limited to be a powerful utility vehicle for tough jobs. Operating costs for the Prowler HDX are much lower than for a diesel pickup truck. The car is easy to drive, fun and copes with all tasks.

Speaking of fun, while the Prowler HDX is a utility vehicle, don't underestimate its potential as a side-by-side recreational vehicle. Bench seats and ample cargo storage allow you to take friends and everything you need for fishing, hunting or camping.

Arctic Cat also paid great attention to the safety of the driver and passengers of the Prowler HDX. The Limited GDX is equipped with headrests, leg restraints and comfortable side nets. At first, the leg restraints seemed uncomfortable and cumbersome, but after learning how to step out of the cabin with the outer leg heel first, we got the hang of it. Remember that they are made to protect both the driver and passengers.

The driver and passenger leg restraints take a little getting used to, but are there for protection.

Many might say that the Prowler HDX Limited is a bit pricey for a purely utilitarian model (which it is not, as stated above). And in some ways it is: a Kawasaki Teryx or a Yamaha Viking are probably better buys for work. But if a buyer decides to upgrade to things like electric power steering, aggressive all-terrain tires, Fox Float shocks with coilovers, aluminum wheels and trailer hitches, the total purchase price will be essentially the same as the Prowler HDX Limited. Are all these upgrades worth the cost? You decide. As a three-seater for work and play, that's a fair price tag.

For extreme activities like desert riding, dune jumping and rock climbing, the Prowler HDX Limited is certainly not a good fit. Will the car be on par with the 1000 Wildcat Extreme Limited? No. The shorter tires, shorter-travel shock absorbers and cargo-bed chassis aren't designed for high-speed jumps and the like, but if the driver understands the model's limitations, there are a few "wow" moments guaranteed. And by the way, back in the days before high-performance sport models hit the market, the Prowler was the first side-by-side in history to win the Baja 100.

Power point:

They are widely used by lovers of extreme country recreation and are able to overcome the most difficult mountain, forest, and swampy areas. Connectable all-wheel drive, patented Ultramatic transmission, which allows engine braking on steep descents, small turning radius, adjustable suspension, torquey engine - this is not a complete list of characteristics due to which many consumers choose this ATV.

Ever since Arctic Cat used the Thundercat name on its sled model, it has become a household name that speaks volumes to technical sports enthusiasts and professionals alike.
Arctic Cat began to call the “top” models of its products with this name. When Arctic Cat introduced the Thundercat, it was an incredibly powerful, high-displacement sled at the time. The most interesting thing is that he was well controlled and this powerful steel beast was actually a well-trained kitten for the owner. Arctic Cat then brought the same kind of double standard to the world of ATVs. Article on the topic: Fiat Punto 2001 owner reviews

Arctic Cat has unveiled the Thundercat as the world's largest and most powerful ATV. However, despite these qualities, the Thundercat is an extremely rider-friendly ATV and handles well.

When I was about to try riding the Thundercat for the first time, it occurred to me that maybe, just maybe, this model was a little too big for motorcycles, ATVs, or snowmobiles. The fact is that the performance of the powerful 950cc engine that Arctic Cat designed is almost identical to the performance of the 3.8-liter engine in the 07 Jeep Wrangler that I drive. However, the Jeep weighs more than five times that of the Thundercat ATV. Impressive power to weight ratio, isn't it? It was interesting to feel this power and try to control this beast.

Engine Control I was wondering how the power of the Thundercat is controlled? As it turns out, the engineers who were fighting to make this an extremely powerful ATV had carefully designed a 90-degree V-twin engine. The power of this engine is felt from the first press of the CVT to the full opening of the electronic fuel injection system. The ATV picks up speed easily, but is always well controlled even at the peak of power. With a total engine capacity of 950 cc, each of the 475 cc cylinders alone is equal to the size of an average ATV engine!

Arctic Cat manager Craig Kennedy explained that placing the cylinders at a 90-degree angle provides the perfect balance to minimize vibration. The designers of this engine did not consider that these large cylinders needed the additional counter-balance that would certainly be needed with a parallel cylinder arrangement.

Meeting the “cat” When I first met the cat during a test drive, I was first of all struck by its power. Pure, incredible power, throttle response. If you want to get over huge rocks, fallen trees or a mud puddle with your buddy, this is what it's made for. Be sure that you will overcome any obstacles on this ATV. Just apply the gas and the ATV will fly. That is why Thundercat will appeal to all those who like to travel over very rough terrain with a lot of obstacles.

To keep that power under control, Arctic Cat used a heavy-duty CVT drive that's been specially tuned for such a powerful V-twin engine. In addition, a number of other components and systems of the ATV were adjusted to such a powerful engine. This made the ATV manageable and controllable, as I was able to verify personally. In addition to the power and extreme handling, I would like to note the ergonomic driving position and excellent tires of this ATV.

Article on the topic: Changan cs55 owner reviews

Excellent behavior on the highway In addition, I would like to note the low driver position on this ATV, excellent suspension and reliable frame. The ATV behaves great on the highway and maneuvers well. Despite the unprecedented power, the ATV handles well and obeys the steering wheel.

Attachments, electronics Design features

• Design. Behind the catchy appearance lies not just a desire to attract a potential buyer. Every line, every detail of the body is carefully thought out in order to make the operation of the equipment convenient and safe. All elements are made of high-quality materials and fit well together. At the same time, the aggressive style is quite recognizable and allows even a person who is not very experienced in matters of motorcycle technology to immediately determine that this is a Yamaha Grizzly.
• A powerful and extremely reliable engine that can withstand extreme loads for a long time.
• Excellent dynamic qualities. The utilitarian Yamaha ATV, the technical characteristics of which the company itself does not regard as sports, is capable of quickly accelerating to significant speeds of over 100 km/h.
• Reliable and easy-to-control transmission with plug-in drive on all four wheels.
• Energy-intensive suspension, despite large strokes, provides stable control even at high speeds.
• Efficient lighting system. New LED optics shine far and brightly, and an additional headlight mounted on the handlebar allows you to see the road when turning and detect obstacles in advance, when the rider can still take action and avoid a collision.

If we approach it objectively, then the Grizzly 700 is in favor of its weight and simplicity of design, everything else is in favor of the outlander. Yura accurately made an analogy with cars. Outlander 1000 is soft, comfortable, powerful, pleasing to the eye design, good materials, convenient controls and what is important for me is the availability of a two-seater version. Something like this.

Test drive Arctic CatMudPro 700 H1 EFI

Arctic Cat was the first company to produce an ATV, already in serial form, designed for extreme off-road use. The new product is called Arctic Cat 700 MUD PRO H1 EFI, where the first digit indicates the engine size, the next two words translate as “mud professional”...

...well, the indices below indicate the presence of the latest generation injection engine. What is there in the equipment that gives this “cat” the right to bear the proud name MUD PRO? Yes, in general, everything that allows you to immediately get into the mud without any modifications, I just can’t. The list includes front and rear power bumpers, a snorkel (where the CVT and engine air intakes are located), a Warn 3000 winch, a CVT tuned for increased traction, a 24.5-liter fuel tank and alloy wheels with Outlaw Highlifter MST Mud 28 tires. The tire pattern is universal, and it is not without reason that the name contains the abbreviation MST: M (mud) - “mud”, S (snow) - “snow”, T (trail) - “trail”.

First, about the unusual: an engine oil cooler is installed behind the radiator of the cooling system, which means that it will not be easy to overheat the engine on extreme off-road conditions, when everything is covered in mud and there is no oncoming airflow. The metal variator cover is also atypical, but this is good, since the plastic ones warp over time, and then there is no need to talk about the cleanliness of the belt. The 6mm thick plastic skid plates appear to be quite durable.

PROVEN SOLUTIONS

The transmission is the most traditional for utilitarians. Rear-wheel drive mode 2WD, all-wheel drive 4WD and the same with electrically activated rigid locking of the front differential 4WD Lock. There is no automatic control of the front locking - only manual activation using a button. There are four operating modes of the variator - high, low, reverse, neutral. There is no parking; its role is played by a latch on the brake lever. The brakes themselves are hydraulic: two discs at the front, one common at the rear for the axle. A dirt-proof compartment is hidden in the false tank in front of the saddle, and the fuel tank itself is located under the seat to lower the center of gravity.

SOFT TALK

What surprised the “cat” was the lightness of the steering wheel. Even in 4WD Lock mode, the steering did not become excessively heavy, and this is with large 28 wheels. But the lightness was achieved without the recently fashionable electric power steering, solely by adjusting the steering. But, as you know, if it arrived in one place, then it departed in another. And in this case we can say that controllability has decreased. There are competitors who steer more accurately on similar high-profile tires. But here it’s “either checkers or go.” There is no need to explain the difference between rally and trophy to our readers. Independent suspension on double A-arms with 25.4 mm of travel is soft. There is no trace of shaking, but when driving fast over bumps, suspension breakdowns appeared. It was probably possible to combat them with adjustments, but, alas, there was no opportunity for experimentation.

LION'S HEART

The engine developed by Suzuki (this Japanese company is a major shareholder of Arctic Cat) suits this all-terrain vehicle one hundred percent. Its power is quite enough to spin such “tractor” wheels: the traction at the “bottoms” is simply wonderful. It’s nice that the tires do not extend beyond the wheel arches, which allows both the pilot and the quad to remain clean for some time.

In liquid mud, the MUD PRO was clearly in its element, with a ground clearance of 35.6 mm it simply rode where other quads were fighting for every meter. It’s a pity that for safety reasons, like almost all utility vehicles, the manufacturer left a “misfire” in reverse. That is, if you get stuck, it is not always possible to go back because the engine stops “pulling.” However, I think that bright minds will figure out how to deceive the electronic noose.

MORE TUNING?

Is it possible to add something else from tuning “to the point”? It is possible and even necessary. For example, a radio remote control for a winch, front fender liners that protect hoses and tubes from contact with branches. And for trips far from civilization, a backup manual starter would not hurt. Small additions include protection for shock absorbers and levers. By the way, almost all of the above has already been installed on one of the heroes of our material.

And finally, some economic considerations. Accessories for ATV are not at all cheap, so if you count the price of only the visible distinctive elements of MUD PRO, you will already get a lot. I wonder how quickly competitors will react and whether they will supplement their mud movers with some special equipment, such as compact inflatable floats for crossing or a folding snorkel?

Sea trials • For work and rest

And although competitors are becoming more powerful and faster every year, the Japanese bear gives in to its muscular rivals only on long, drawn-out straights of various cross-country and country tracks where, by the way, scrap racing has mostly taken place lately. it’s better than a grizzle if you drive and don’t have to deal with the repair of the quad no, I weighed my HMR here with a case, well, the tool has a couple of cables and a chainsaw, almost 500 kg without a penny, spare parts, wait 3 months, it breaks once a month and you can sell it later for half the price and you also need to have somewhere repair.

Arctic Cat 1000 - a reliable ATV

There are not many offers for sale of Arctic Cat ATVs on the secondary market, but this is due more to the reliability of the products than to lack of popularity.
Structurally, Arctic Cat is very different from its North American competitors. Perhaps because the company's engineers work closely with Japanese manufacturers from the Suzuki concern.

Arctic Cat ATVs combine American scale and Japanese reliability, and the Arctic Cat TRV 1000 is no exception. It offers a comfortable seating position, a powerful, smooth engine, excellent handling, and resistance to rollovers off-road.

The “thousandth” will not give its owner any worries - the main thing is to take care of it on time and correctly. Simple maintenance is recommended every 500 km. You can do everything yourself - you don’t need any special tools, everything you need can be bought at a regular car store.

It is better, of course, to fill the engine with branded oil, but you can get by with another, ATV oil with a recommended viscosity of 5W-50; 2.8 liters will be required for replacement. The gearboxes are filled with SAE 80W90 transmission oil. The foam air filter is cleaned in a special solution, after which it is coated with filter grease. There are practically no injection points on this ATV. The front and rear brake pads are the same, so if necessary, they can be swapped to compensate for uneven wear.

If the equipment is used carefully and the engine is filled with high-quality synthetic oil, the service interval can be increased to 1000 km.

With frequent driving through swamps and serious off-road conditions, the TRV 1000's spider and front gear drives quickly break down. There is no need to rush to buy a “original” crosspiece: it is better to use a non-original one, but with an oiler for a syringe, especially since it costs the same, 1000-1200 rubles.

Unlike BRP and Polaris, Arctic Cat has a well-designed variator: a centrifugal clutch is used in the design of the unit. This allows you to relieve the variator belt and make it smoother when starting off. Depending on operating conditions, the belt resource will average from 6,000 to 10,000 km.

A distinctive detail of this brand, which other manufacturers cannot boast of, can be considered the clutch in the rear gearbox, which slips in the event of critical loads, thereby protecting the variator parts.

During hard use - for example, when jumping over trampolines - there were cases when the adjusting washers for preloading the shock absorber springs burst. The defect was quickly corrected at the factory, and damaged parts can be replaced at the dealer under warranty. If the warranty period has expired, there is no need to worry - the washer is inexpensive, about 250 rubles. Replacing it will not be difficult, the unit is collapsible, and removing the spring from the shock absorber will take about 15 minutes.

Article on the topic: Hyundai Genesis owner reviews 2014

The footrests deserve special attention: their plastic is durable and not a single piece has broken off during use. Thanks to large slots, dirt that gets onto the footrests quickly flows out without accumulating inside. Usually, when you rush through puddles on an ATV, a fountain of water hits your feet from the engine side. There is no such effect on the Arctic Cat 1000; the space around the motor is tightly closed with plastic.

The controls are simple and accessible; to connect the front gearbox and turn on the lock, you just need to flip the switch on the right remote control with one finger. The throttle cable is retracted inside the steering space, so that if the ATV overturns, the unit will remain in working order.

By the way, about overturns: in order to return an overturned “liter” ATV to its wheels, you will have to try - the “seal” weighs decently, about 400 kg. However, if there is something nearby for the winch to catch on, the problems will disappear - the manufacturer has already equipped the equipment with this device at the factory. In short, the device is well thought out, strong, and reliable. There are more and more fans of this model every year.

This list would be incomplete without one of the world leaders Yamaha, one of the largest manufacturers of motorcycles, ATVs, snowmobiles and much other equipment. A reliable hydraulic braking system, an updated chassis, high maneuverability and maneuverability make driving even in the most difficult conditions a pleasure, and a three-mode selection system and a liquid crystal instrument panel only enhance the feeling of comfort.

#11 – Design Features

• Sports. Their purpose is to quickly propel the adrenaline-pumping rider over rough terrain. In the design of such machines, special attention is paid to reducing weight and dimensions, improving controllability at high speeds.
• Utilitarian. For such models, the main thing is not speed, but high maneuverability and the ability to overcome obstacles that other motorcycles cannot cope with.

Technical characteristics of the model • It is worth mentioning that the Yamaha Grizzly 550 has an excellent saddle, 15 cm thick.

The flagship of the lineup

The Grizzly 700 ATV still remains the most popular model in the series. It has also undergone a series of improvements. As a result, the newest modification of the YAMAHA Grizzly 700 SE embodies almost all the best characteristics of these machines. This tough all-terrain vehicle managed to harness its considerable power, largely thanks to the electronic control unit. The power steering system (EPS) made the car more tractable and improved the already considerable driving performance and cross-country ability. On the Yamaha Grizzly 700 model, thanks to the innovative patented On-Command system, used exclusively on Yamaha equipment, unprecedented stability and maneuverability were achieved, both on loose, marshy soils and rocky slopes. The epitome of all-terrain capability is complemented by a 686cc, liquid-cooled, four-stroke engine with four valves per cylinder. This Grizzly ATV is equipped with an automatic transmission with a CVT, providing optimal all-wheel drive.

One of the achievements of the technical thought of specialists from the Yamaha Corporation is the ability to change the drive option with the press of one button. There are three modes to choose from: 2WD, 4WD and 4WD with differential lock. In off-road conditions, such a function in controlling an ATV can be vital. Another distinctive feature of the Yamaha Grizzly 700 ATVs is the Special Edition color variation. Optionally, it is possible to install light alloy wheels with branding.

Reviews from Arctic Cat MudPro 1000 owners

Arctic Cat MudPro 1000, 2012

Some nuances of operating the Arctic Cat MudPro 1000. The headlights are good, there is a light bulb in each headlight for low and high beams. But all the dirt from under the wing flows onto the headlight, as a result the light completely sucks. In general, after several years of driving with diode light, several hours in the light of standard headlights were torture, it was scary to drive and frantically peering at the road strained the eyes. Although the headlights are still clean, the light is better than the standard one on the Grizzly, but worse than the BRP G2 and CFMOTO X8. In short, the verdict is unequivocal - install a diode light, turn off the standard one altogether as it is completely unnecessary. Brakes. At first I considered it the greatest evil to hang the front and rear brakes on the same circuit. During the ride I did not experience any inconvenience from this, with the exception of two situations. A very steep descent where I don't need the front brake. The lack of a brake lever on the right handlebar when walking next to an ATV - this handle is sorely missed. Bumper. I would cut off half of the jumpers from the front one, and it would not lose its ability to fell trees as thick as an arm, and I would remove the rear one completely, as unnecessary and to lighten it by 10 kg. The Varn winch, hopefully not Chinese, like the Varn that has been supplied to us for the seventh year now. The cable in the state is steel, immediately replaced with synthetics and an aluminum fairlead. Shifting gears without protection “from fools”, i.e. You don't have to press the brake to shift. This is very convenient for me, although if I were the manufacturer, I would still make the circuit through the brake. The tires in the state are 28 inches, capable of maintaining straight-line movement on the ground, like any similar rubber - it requires a balanced attitude to pressing the gas trigger on unsteady soils, it behaves perfectly in forest rubble, it pulls the ATV out of ambushes well under tension, it’s never there was a desire to replace it with something else. One of these days we’ll go to swampy places and see what’s going on.

Arctic Cat MudPro 1000, 2014

ATV is fire. It handles, brakes, jumps, accelerates, and climbs better than anyone else. The Arctic Cat MudPro 1000 gave me everything I was looking for and expecting from an ATV. I drove a BRP XMR 1000, also new, (I already started driving with a black key). In the lower position it is a little low, and in the upper position it is harsh. I hit the suspension twice, but not when you jump with your whole body, but when you land on one side of a bump. I punched it twice, it punched so hard that it seemed either the disk would burst or the frame would crack. The cat also checked, it’s useless, he just swallows it and moves on. By the way, XMR rearranges and throws in such situations. Once it started to turn sideways, almost making my ears fall. In terms of dynamics, the Arctic Cat MudPro is 1000 faster, but on the “Cat” they cost 28, and on the XMR 30, maybe that’s why. Access to the same candles, etc. it’s easier on the Arctic Cat MudPro 1000, everything in the BRP is very complicated, this is a service machine not for traveling into the deep wilds of the taiga. In addition, there is less comfort than in the “Kot”, and the hatches are of no use if your back and arms are buzzing after 100 km in the forest. In short, I finally calmed down that I made the right choice, because for three months I was tossing between XMR and Arctic Cat MudPro 1000, because... I chose the ATV for a long time. Now all that remains is to monitor the quality and reliability. Time will show. I am also very concerned about the service and the availability of spare parts in the warehouse in Irkutsk, even the bolts are original (and not from the auto market), should be from the dealer. I am ready to pay for quality, reliability and service, but for a reasonable price.

Advantages

: reliability. Workmanship. Off-road behavior. Suspension operation. Engine.

Flaws

: not very cheap original spare parts.

Arctic Cat MudPro 1000, 2015

An excellent ATV, but it is not fast at all. However, it doesn’t have to be fast; this is a completely different class of ATV. The Arctic Cat MudPro 1000 rides a little harsh, but not bad. Not particularly impressed with the MST tires in the snow, I had to lower the air pressure, it got a little better, but still far from ideal. Overall I am very, very happy with the ATV. I had the following problems: glitches with the injector, the engine sensor was on, the dealer erased the error and said that it would not appear again. After 2 minutes it flashes again. The front differential lock usually does not work when cold. I took the Arctic Cat MudPro 1000 to the dealer, they said everything was working and they sent the ATV back. I left the differential locked when I parked and it seems to work now. Otherwise, there are no problems, the ATV pleases me with excellent off-road performance. Where others cannot go (forest, swamp), I can easily ride the Arctic Cat MudPro 1000.

Arctic Cat MudPro 1000, 2016

I have owned an Arctic Cat MudPro 1000 for 2 years now, I love this ATV, no other model gives me so much pleasure. I didn't ride it on MST tires until I sold them and put my Zillas on. The Arctic Cat MudPro 1000 isn't fast, it's slow, but I don't care about that. I drive mostly on slow roads. Compared to my last quad, this thing is amazing. I'm not even going to compare the Arctic Cat MudPro 1000 to my last ATV since it was only 300cc. cm - earth and sky, as they say. The ground clearance is great, I'm not going to raise it as it's enough for my riding style and with 30″ tires it will give even more. Cons: A little harsh for me (but the shock absorbers are set to maximum) and the engine is quite loud. Otherwise, I'm happy with everything, this is exactly the model I wanted.

Advantages

: permeability. High ground clearance. Four-wheel drive. Engine. Comfortable seat.

Flaws

: hard suspension. Noisy engine operation.

Due to the fact that utilitarian ATVs are often used in extreme conditions, their braking system must be reliable and highly effective. At the same time, the spine does not get tired, so you can travel an impressive distance on an ATV, even over rough terrain on bumps, and you will not feel any discomfort.
