ATV PRODUCTS Arctic Cat's eight ATV products for the 2015 model year include seven all-new XR models designed for the sport utility ATV market seg- ment. The XR product line features mid-sized engines ranging from 550cc to 700cc; new chas- sis, bodywork and SpeedRack II accessories sys- tem; and a higher level of riding comfort — due to easier steering, revised suspension geometry and a more comfortable rider position.
