2008 Arctic Cat 400 4x4 Automatic ATV Overview

The 2008 Arctic Cat 400 4x4 Auto is the lowest priced ATV in the Arctic Cat line-up with 2WD/4WD with front differential lock. This macho, rugged machine can perform any task asked of it and still want to go hunting, fishing, or camping.

The 2008 Arctic Cat 400 4x4 Automatic is powered by a torquey 376 cc, air/oil cooled four-stroke engine with temperature-controlled fan and Auto Electronic Choke for simple “one touch” starting. The fully independent, double A-arm front suspension eats up gnarly terrain and like the rear suspension features preload-adjustable shocks.

This best-in-class 2008 Arctic Cat 400 4x4 is equipped with redesigned slimline SpeedRack featuring smaller diameter tubing to reduce weight while the contoured shape and accessory attachment mounts lower the height of the rack. The 400 also receives 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.

Other premium features include a 2-inch “automotive-style” receiver hitch, handlebar-mounted electronic 2WD/4WD switch for quick shifts, 25-in. Goodyear Rawhide RS tires, and large 6.5-gallon gas tank. And there is the best-in-class 12” ground clearance, rack capacity (100 lbs front/200 lbs rear), and 10” of suspension travel.

Adding convenience to the 2008 Arctic Cat 400 4x4 Auto are features like Start-In-Gear, zero-maintenance suspension bushings and sealed driveshafts, a full-length plastic skid plate that glides over rough terrain with single-lever, hand-operated hydraulic disc brakes (front and rear), and a digital instrument pod with 14 indicators such as speed, odometer, dual trip meters, hour meter, clock, and fuel level.

No matter where you ride or why you own an ATV, the 2008 Arctic Cat 400 4x4 Automatic can be custom tailored to meet every demand. Arctic Cat – More To Go On.
