1997 Arctic Cat Bearcat 454 2x4 ATV

This was Arctic Cats first offering of an ATV in the sport-utility segment. The bright orange color, sporty racks and even the unusual camber of the front wheels immediately set this apart from the Bearcat 4x4 utility model that appeared just one model year earlier. The 454cc liquid-cooled Suzuki engine and the semi-independent rear suspension were shared with the 4x4 model. This has the 5-speed auto-clutch transmission, but without high/low range as the 4x4 model has. This particular unit has the accessory Warn winch on it that Arctic offered. Is in great original condition, we ride this machine every summer.
