Looking for a middleweight beast of burden loaded with a powerful and nimble engine but without being intimidating? The 2008 Arctic Cat 500 4x4 may fit the bill better than you thought it could: sporting the same tough build just like any of its siblings, this ATV is the bridge that gaps the big-displacement machines and the small ones.
You can choose between manual and automatic CVT when it comes to transmission. If you go manual, you've got 5 speeds at your disposal, while both modes sport the high and low range and of course, the reverse to get you out of tight situations. 2WD and 4WD and differential lock is available, too, while the independent A-arm suspension and generous ground clearance are sure to make tackling obstacles a breeze.
