Wildcat 1000i H.O.
A Race-Inspired, Pure-Sport
ROV That’s Made in America
Inspired by the unforgiving terrain of the Baja 1000,
engineered to attack the gnarliest obstacles with precision and control, and
crafted in America by a company dedicated to performance and quality, the
all-new Arctic Cat Wildcat V-Twin 1000H.O. debuts as the most potent pure-sport
recreational off-road vehicle (ROV) ever built.
With industry-leading suspension travel, 13 inches of ground
clearance, a full-perimeter frame and the largest displacement engine in its
class, the Wildcat is a full-production version of what was previously reserved
for off-road race vehicles.
“The Wildcat has no equal. Period,” said Claude Jordan, Arctic
Cat President and CEO. “Our customers asked for a high-performance side-by-side,
and we happily responded with a no-compromise, pure-sport hot rod that redefines
what’s possible with a production off-road vehicle.”
SUSPENSION: Ultimate Long Travel
The Wildcat can effortlessly hammer through whoops and dunes
thanks to a front and rear suspension combination that rivals those used on
off-road race buggies.
At the rear is an industry-first 5-pointmulti-link trailing
arm suspension that keeps the tires’ contact patches flat while the suspension
moves through its industry-leading 18 inches of travel.
The unique 5-pointmulti-linkminimizes camber and axle plunge
to soak up the harshest terrain without compromising handling and steering.
The double-wishbone front suspension boasts a best-in-class 17
inches of travel, with geometry that’s optimized for stability and control.
Both the front and rear suspensions are dampened by Walker
Evans Racing shocks. Designed from a lifetime of off-road competition and
experience and also made in the USA, these remote reservoir shocks are machined
from billet aluminum and feature 17-position compression dampening
adjustability, dual-rate springs and preload adjustment.
They’re calibrated with ample ride-in to keep the Wildcat’s
tires on the ground, with consistent dampening for hours of hard riding.
The all-new Duro Kaden 14-in tires were developed specifically
for the Wildcat, utilizing an elongated tread pattern designed to extend to the
tires shoulder, providing excellent cornering, traction, performance and
durability in rough conditions.
CHASSIS: Full-Perimeter Exoskeleton
The foundation for the Wildcat’s suspension is a
full-perimeter frame that sets a new standard in strength, rigidity and
durability. Usually found only in off-road race trucks, the chassis is
constructed from High Strength Low Alloy (HSLA) steel with a full-perimeter
exoskeleton design that’s a first in the ROV class.
With a 40/60 front/rear weight distribution, the Wildcat’s
front end remains light for optimal handling when tackling gnarly terrain.
Occupants in the cockpit of the Wildcat are positioned close to the low
center-of-gravity (CG), leaving them less affected by movements of the
suspension and chassis and producing a more comfortable and confident ride.
1000 H.O. ENGINE: Built in St. Cloud, Minnesota
The 1000 H.O engine that powers the new Wildcat is the largest
displacement engine in the Pure Sport category, and the ideal match for the
industry-leading suspensions and chassis combo.
Built in the USA by Arctic Cat, the 951cc V-Twin, SOHC
4-stroke with Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) has proven itself on the Prowler
XTZ.
On the Wildcat, the 1000 H.O. has been tuned to deliver even
stronger acceleration thanks to the extra torque and horsepower provided by
heavy breathing 50mmthrottle bodies, a new 2-into-1 ceramic-coated exhaust and
an all-new air intake system.
The close-coupled, mid-chassis engine location neutralizes the
Wildcat’s handling, maximizes the rider/passenger volume and reduces cockpit
noise.
The engine transfers power to the driveshaft via the Duramatic
automatic CVT transmission. The addition of the Spike Load Dampener (SLD) allows
the driveline to slip for a millisecond under harsh spike loads, reducing the
torque load to the system for optimal durability.
A console-mounted shifter allows quicker gear selection
between Reverse, Neutral, High and Low gears. Likewise, a dash-mounted switch
activates 2- or 4-wheel drive with differential lock. Four-wheel hydraulic disc
brakes provide strong, enhanced braking.
Electronic Power Steering
Yet another first-in-class technology, the addition of Arctic
Cat’s Variable Assist Electronic Power Steering (EPS) on the Wildcat delivers
even greater steering control and ease. The EPS system is a managed electronic
control unit (ECU) that measures steering input force, tire resistance and
vehicle speed, and then provides the appropriate assist to the steering column
through an electric motor. Steering assistance begins at idle, and varies based
on the above inputs.
The result: Light steering input effort at speed while
maintaining the right amount of driver feedback to feel the limits of traction
and control.
The power assist is particularly noticeable at low speeds and
when in 4WD (especially with the differential locked),where its reduced steering
effort eases changing direction or navigating tough obstacles like washouts,
rocks or mud.
INTERIOR: Comfortable and Controlled
Arctic Cat engineers designed the Wildcat’s interior for
optimal occupant comfort, control and visibility. Contoured, high-back bucket
seats with upper body supports deliver exceptional comfort and body stability,
and rival any aftermarket suspension seat on the market. The cut and sewn design
cradles the Wildcat occupants to minimize fatigue. A 3-point seat belt with an
anti-cinch design keeps you in place and comfortable through the harshest
terrain.
Getting in and out of the Wildcat is quick and easy thanks to
a tube-frame door with integrated nets. Pivoting from the rear and latching at
the front via a simple one-latch mechanism, the doors open quickly and easily,
swinging out of the way for hassle-free entry/departure. An infinitely
adjustable tilt steering wheel allows you to adjust your steering preferences.
A new5-inch digital/analog round gauge provides great
readability with its mid-dash location. It displays up to 14 critical operations
including: clock/hour meter, fuel level, mode button, set/reset button,
odometer/trip, gear position, speedometer/tachometer, differential lock, drive
select, high beam, battery condition, temperature and oil pressure.
A locking glove box offers ample, convenient storage, while
two easy-to- reach cup holders are located where beverages won’t interfere with
driving controls or arms.
PREMIUM FEATURES
The all-new Wildcat is rich with premium features starting
with two automotive-style painted color choices: Black Metallic or Arctic Green
Metallic.
Class-leading LED headlights and taillights project a light
that’s clearer than an HID, with two times brighter Lumens than a halogen system
(while utilizing 50 percent less wattage).
The Wildcat’s rear cargo bed has the largest capacity in its
class with a 300 lb. payload to carry a cooler and additional fuel containers.
A 12V accessory outlet is located in the center console for
GPS or cell phone adapters. The alternator capacity has been increased for
accessory lights, radios or winches.
The underside of the Wildcat features full-protection HDPE
skid plates to glide over protruding obstacles, while the chassis utilizes
maintenance-free bushings for hassle-free durability.
ACCESSORIES: Simple Customization
Arctic Cat will offer more than 50 Wildcat-specific products
for the ultimate in customization. These easy-to-install parts, accessories and
upgrades can be used to personalize and compliment the lines of the ultimate
pure sport ROV.
An array of trick lightweight aluminum protective accessories
will be available, like front and rear pre-runner bumpers, rock sliders, A-arm
guards and skid plates.
A contoured half windshield with a dust management system will
divert the wind up and over the rider while the stylized T-top style roof with
integrated rear spoiler and built in headliner has room to install your tunes.
Look for other items like a gas can holder, spare tire carrier, cooler holder,
fender flares and a box cover to arrive shortly among a host of other products.
