As the model name states, the 2006 Arctic Cat 500 4x4 is and all-wheel drive ATV in the middleweight displacement class. Less experienced riders could find themselves in a bit of trouble in case they are not acquainted with the manual gearboxes: the 2006 Arctic Cat 500 4x4 comes with a 5-speed one, and dual-range settings.
Even more, when riding on even, easy surfaces, you can use the 2WD, rear-axle transmission. When entering rough areas, a simple push of the lever engages the 4WD, for better grip. Helped by the generous ground clearance and independent double A-arm suspensions, the 2006 Arctic Cat 500 4x4 will tackle obstacles with ease.
With up to 135 kg of luggage to be accommodated on the racks (combined weight), the 2006 Arctic Cat 500 4x4 can really go far into the wilderness as one can carry several gallons of fuel, too.
