Arctic Cat 1000 H2 ATV Chassis/Suspension:
- Arctic Cat Thunder Cat 1000 H2 ATV Rear Suspension
Machined Aluminum Wheels - All new 12” machined aluminum wheel design has an optimized scrub radius minimizing the rider steering effort. - Positive Shifting - A new shift detent spring in the lever linkage allows for improved positive shifting
- New Headlight Bulb Sockets - The right-hand headlight bulb sockets have been redesigned to eliminate the bulb popping out, decreasing the chance of the headlight housing filling with moisture.
- Fully Independent Suspension (FIS) How it works with or without a swaybar - Arctic Cat ATVs have an optional sway bar available as an accessory purchase through your authorized dealer. Similar to any off-road 4x4 vehicle, eliminating the sway bar, lets the 10” of front or rear Fully Independent Suspension articulate through the full range of suspension travel. This increased articulation provides full tire contact in all types of off-camber terrain. The addition of the sway bar will impact the traction capabilities; however, it will enhance flatter cornering in aggressive trail riding
- Performance Tuned Chassis - When you sit on the Thundercat, it will squat roughly 2 inches (depending on rider size) while maintaining Arctic Cat’s class leading 11” of
ground clearance and 10” of suspension travel. This ride-in calibration lowers center of gravity for precise cornering - Performance Minded Ergonomics - The seat on the Thundercat has been lowered approximately one inch to reduce the riders center of gravity along with giving an improved sense of sitting “In” the machine instead of “On” it.
- Industry Leading Ground Clearance - 11” of ground clearance enhances the ability to navigate through mud or over large rocks, logs, and other objects encountered in rough terrain
- Large Capacity SpeedRacks - Industry leading weight capacity and overall cargo carrying surface area allows 100 lb carrying capacity on the front rack and 200 lbs. on the rear
