Arctic Cat ATV Buyer's Guide 2009

In addition to having a wide variety of vehicles (28 total), Arctic Cat has some unique machines and accessories. Take, for instance, its MultiRack Platform (MRP) system. The MRP allows the user to customize his Arctic Cat ATV with a variety of accessory racks for the job site, trail or hunting expedition. The racks slide securely into open channels on the front and rear of the machine and are held in place via locking pins.

There are nine specific packages for construction, ranching, fishing, ice fishing, camping, lawn-care/landscape, big-game hunting, waterfowl hunting and a Rapid Blind hunting setup. Indeed, it's a very ingenious accessory.

Arctic Cat has added another unique item to its line--the Two Rider Vehicle (TRV) is designed for not only a rider but also a passenger.
