Segment: ATV/Quad
Production years: 2012, 2013
The 2012 Arctic Cat 550 Core sports the same character like the rest of the ATV in the 550-class, but it is a more affordable machine, as it contains just the basic features and equipment. For example, this ATV has no power steering: if you believe you are man enough to ride it without the aid of electric systems, maybe this is the right quad for you. If you feel like the handlebars will get out of control, just move up the price list.
It sports switchable 2/4WD and dual-ratio automatic transmission, with dependable hydraulic brakes aided by engine braking, while the generous ground clearance and long-travel independent suspensions provide excellent capabilities for tackling obstacles.
Add in great the gear-hauling capacity exceeding 135 kg and you've got the right workhorse for outdoor chores, or a nifty off-road adventure machine.
