For 2013 the success of the
TRV line-up has two XT models
featuring electronic power
steering.
Arctic Cat's Variable Assist
Electronic Power Steering
(EPS) allows steering assistance
to the ATV before it even
starts to move at idle. This is a
huge benefit to conserving the
rider's input energy when in
4WD, and especially when the
differential lock is engaged.
Arctic Cat EPS will reduce the
torque necessary to steer the
ATV when changing direction
with loaded racks or navigating
tough obstacles like rocks,
deep mud or logs.
The variable assist system is
driven by an electronic control
unit (ECU) that measures
steering input force versus tire
resistance and vehicle speed
then provides appropriate
assist to the steering column
through an electric motor.
The Arctic Cat power steering
ECU program is designed
to maintain a light steering
input effort, but maintains
enough feel so you have a better
understanding of what the
tire contact patch is doing in
relation to the terrain. Arctic
Cat EPS will keep the rider and
the ATV connected which is
lost on competitive units after
sustained riding.
The TRV has numerous
features to ease riding convenience.
Chief among them is
a two-up seat with cushioned
seat back for legal trail riding.
Improved ergonomics and an
easy pin-pull removal system
allow you to transform the
TRV into a single-rider vehicle.
Passengers will appreciate integrated
footrests for smooth
and secure footing.
An all-encompassed electronic
2WD/4WD/Differential
Lock switch on the right hand
control makes going in/out
of 4WD or Diff Lock an easier
process.
Other premium features
include zero-maintenance suspension
bushings, sealed drive
shafts, a large 6.5-gallon fuel
tank and durable, full-length
plastic skid plate.
