Different
riders have different needs, which is why Arctic
Cat makes a variety of their popular 400 class
4x4’s. Riders who demand the only true
fully independent rear suspension (FIS) can
opt for a 400 4x4 with either the Duramatic
automatic transmission with engine braking,
or with a five-speed, auto-clutch manual transmission
with Hi-Lo range.
Every 2007 FIS model is equipped
with slimline SpeedRacks featuring a contoured
shape and accessory attachment mounts that lower
the height of the rack. The FIS models also
receive a full-lock front differential (with
a convenient handlebar-mounted lever), floating
brake calipers, a redesigned hydraulic foot
brake system with remote fluid reservoir and
a heavy-duty rear axle.
A new digital instrument pod
on the FIS machines has 14 digital indicators
such as speed, odometer, dual trip meters, hour
meter, clock, and fuel level that is enhanced
with bodywork that gives the 400-class the Cat
Family look.
All of the Arctic Cat 400 class
machines are powered by a torquey 376cc, air/oil-cooled
four-stroke engine featuring a temperature-controlled
fan and an Auto Electronic Choke system for
simple “one touch” starting. All
400s have a fully independent, double A-arm
front suspension that eats up gnarly terrain
and, like the rear suspension, features preload-adjustable
shocks.
Other premium features include
a 2-inch “automotive style” receiver
hitch, handlebar-mounted electronic 2WD/4WD
switch for quick shifts, new 25-in. Goodyear
Rawhide RS tires and large 4.75- or 6.5-gallon
fuel tanks. And there is the best-in-class ground
clearance (12 inches on FIS machines), rack
capacity (100 lbs. front/200 lbs. rear) and
suspension travel (10 inches on FIS machines).
Adding convenience to the 400
class machines are features like Start-In-Gear,
zero-maintenance suspension bushings and sealed
drive shafts, a full-length plastic skid plate
that glides over rough terrain and the single-lever,
hand-operated hydraulic disc brakes (front and
rear).

Class Chassis/Suspension Info
Arctic Cat ATVs have an
optional sway bar available as an accessory
purchase through your authorized dealer. Similar
to any off-road 4x4 vehicle, eliminating the
sway bar, lets the 10” of front or rear
Fully Independent Suspension articulate through
the full range of suspension travel. This
increased articulation provides full tire
contact in all types of off-camber terrain.
The addition of the sway bar will impact the
traction capabilities; however, it will enhance
flatter cornering in aggressive trail riding
12” of ground clearance
enhances the ability to navigate through mud
or over large rocks, logs, and other objects
encountered in rough terrain
Industry leading weight
capacity and overall cargo carrying surface
area allows 100 lb carrying capacity on the
front rack and 200 lbs. on the rear
Full-lock front differential
transfers engine torque to both front wheels
when selected for added traction with a flip
