Review
The 2014 Arctic Cat Cat 500 XT builds upon the base Cat 500, adding features designed to enhance both its utility and rider comfort. It shares the same 443cc single-cylinder engine and automatic transmission as the standard model, providing similar performance characteristics. The 500 XT weighs in at 676 pounds, a slight increase over the base model, likely due to added features. The double A-arm front suspension and single disc hydraulic front brakes are carried over from the base model. The XT designation typically signifies upgrades in areas such as seating, instrumentation, or additional accessories. While maintaining the upright and relaxed ergonomics of the base model, the 500 XT might offer a more comfortable seat or improved rider controls. The 5.7-gallon fuel tank ensures ample range for extended use. The Arctic Cat Cat 500 XT targets riders who appreciate the simplicity and reliability of the Cat 500 but desire a few extra touches for added comfort or convenience. It's suitable for both work and recreational applications, appealing to users who want a well-rounded ATV without venturing into higher displacement or more complex models.
