The 2016 Arctic Cat Alterra 700 XT EPS package goes a step further in comfort and customization, starting with Arctic Cat’s Variable Assist Electronic Power Steering (EPS).

The result is light steering input effort, especially when in 4WD with a locked differential, but with enough feedback that the rider senses the tire contact with the terrain. The XT package also includes cast aluminum wheels, a halogen/LED headlight system, and painted White Metallic or molded-in color True Timber Camo bodywork.
