2014
The 2014 Arctic Cat TRV 500 holds a significant place within Arctic Cat's utility ATV lineup, designed for riders seeking a versatile and robust machine. As part of the TRV (Two-Rider Vehicle) series, it offered the practicality of a passenger seat, appealing to those who needed to transport an extra person or gear. In its segment, it competed directly with models like the Polaris Sportsman 500 HO and the Can-Am Outlander 500, all vying for market share among utility-focused recreational and work ATVs.
At the heart of the 2014 TRV 500 is a liquid-cooled, 443.0 ccm (27.03 cubic inches) single-cylinder, four-stroke engine. This powerplant delivered reliable torque and horsepower for a variety of tasks, from trail riding to light utility work. The ATV has a substantial dry weight of 326.1 kg (719.0 pounds), indicating its robust construction and capability. Fuel capacity stands at 20.06 litres (5.30 US gallons), providing ample range for extended excursions or workdays without frequent refueling stops. Its automatic transmission and selectable 2WD/4WD system further enhanced its usability across diverse terrains.
Riding characteristics of the TRV 500 were geared towards comfort and utility. Its independent front and rear suspension systems were designed to absorb impacts, offering a smoother ride over rough terrain, crucial for an ATV that might be used for long periods. The TRV designation highlights its two-up seating arrangement, providing a comfortable perch for both rider and passenger, a key differentiator from single-rider ATVs. The upright riding position and easily accessible controls made it user-friendly, even for less experienced riders, while its ground clearance was adequate for navigating typical off-road obstacles.
The 2014 Arctic Cat TRV 500 was primarily aimed at riders who needed a dependable and practical ATV for recreational trail riding, hunting, fishing, or light-duty farm and property maintenance. Its two-up capability made it particularly attractive to couples or individuals who frequently ride with a companion. While not a high-performance sport ATV, its blend of utility, comfort, and a capable engine made it a solid choice for those prioritizing versatility and reliability over aggressive trail dynamics. It delivered on its promise as a workhorse with the added benefit of passenger accommodation.
