Industry’s Best Work and Play Champion
Winning championships is something the XTZ knows well. The Baja race-winning XTZ was voted the Industry’s Best Work and Play Champion. Orange Metallic painted bodywork compliments the race-inspired round tube canopy, Electronic Power Steering (EPS) and heavy-duty 14-in. aluminum wheels for 2012.
Electronic Power Steering enhances the 1000’s Industry Leading handling. Arctic Cat’s Variable Assist EPS allows steering assistance to the XTZ before it even starts to move at idle. This is a huge benefit to conserving the rider’s input energy when in 4wd, especially when the differential lock is engaged. Arctic Cat EPS reduces the torque necessary to steer the XTZ when changing direction with loaded cargo box or navigating tough obstacles like rocks, deep mud or logs. Combining one of the largest displacement engines with sport-inspired suspension geometry, the performance-minded Prowler XTZ provides the ultimate in untouchable recreation.
Arctic Cat engines have power where it matters: the ground. Arctic Cat H2 engines have more pulling power, more climbing power and more acceleration. The powerhouse 1000 V-Twin H2 has a 951cc, 4-stroke monster performance mill. The Duramatic automatic transmission has dynamic engine braking with Low, High, Neutral and Reverse.
The stance and suspension were race-bred and performance-calibrated with additional ride-in. What is ride-in? The Prowler XTZ will squat roughly 2 inches (depending on driver/passenger sizes) while providing 10-in. of ground clearance and 10-in. of suspension travel. The lower ride height and
center of gravity inspire riding confidence in aggressive cornering and high speed handling. The XTZ boasts high performance suspension geometry with the best gas charged monotube shocks on the market.
A front locking 4wd differential with an all-in-one 2wd/4wd/Diff Lock rocker switch button for quick engagement shifting and rear mounted swaybar for improved trail driving.
