- Luke takes Arctic Cat's 450 to the trails. You saw a bit of this ATV in our 450-Class shootout a few weeks back. Now get in depth to see why this ATV was crowned king of its class.

I bought this atv based on your review. and after owning 5 polaris's and a few hondas. your review was pretty much spot on. its awsome! spanks my buddys sportsman, and goes anywhere. climbs logs like a lumberjack. and fast enough to get in trouble!
Yup i got the 2017 arctic cat alterra 400 or the 366cc fan cooled 4 stroke with over 5000+ miles and got the 2021 arctic cat alterra 700 on the way
I got that alterra 700 now just put over 300 miles on it
I paid 5700 before tax, and now that ive had a chance to plow snow with it and do some riding id say yes without a doubt, it will hit 60mph and rides great, but it all depends on what you want it for, its a little more utility than sport. like a 3/4 ton truck
the 2013 is an amazing mid size quad
The understeer then oversteer handling trait could be a tire issue, especially on a tire with a rounded tread profile. In a turn or slide, the tires slide until the outside tires flex and/or ATV leans enough that anopther portion of the trad contacts the ground, then they suddenly grip. Installing tires could either eliminate the problem or reduce the problem, especiially if the tread profile is flat versus rounded.
so this have a diff-lock and the 450i doesnt?
How does this measure up against the Grizzly 450 in terms of power and handling? I have an '05 400 and the thing goes up and over any and all trail obstacles but handles like crap even at slow steer because most of the weight is to the rear. I wonder if the Grizzly is a better balanced machine.
Was this video shot in Minnesota?
Don't know for now. Suzuki used to make their 400 class engine.
Well said. I have an '05 400 and it's exactly what you said in terms of it's ride; more of a utility machine. It's a great workhorse.
Im stuck between this and sportsman 500. im plowing alot of snow, putting around the yard, and trail riding 3 times a year in wisconsin any thoughts?
I'd go for the 'Cat due to the excellent transmission. It engages very quickly which is great for plowing
Mysterious Hot clutch problems on those quads
The 2012s now have power steering
Single lever braking is a flaw ..in extreme terrible cliffy terrain you cant always reach the 1 lever
Part of the reason i wouldn't want to buy this quad is because of it's larger chassis. I prefer smaller personally
