(7/1/2016)

Arctic Cat just released the first wave of its 2017 ATV/UTV product line. A quick glance at the offerings shows an emphasis on MSRP price reductions on several key models; bold new graphics; and a re-emphasis on the so-called 2017 models that it had already released a few months ago.
Arctic Cat also pared down its model line-up for next year, dropping several models (including many of the 1000 engine-equipped machines) as well as package variations.
Notable in the release of information is that there is no mention of the full-sized Wildcat X and 4X models, two popular machines that have clearly NOT been put out to pasture.
In Cat’s letter to the media, it also mentioned that what we’re seeing today is just the first wave of new models, and that subsequent models will be released later this year (with no mention of what those machines might be).
I’m reaching for my calculator to figure out what 2 + 2 equals. In the meantime, click for some pix and details of this first wave of 2017 Arctic Cat dirt machines.
