The New 2009 Arctic Cat TRV 550 H1 EFI Utility ATV

Arctic Cat TRV550 H1 ATV Introduction

Arctic Cat TRV 550 H1 Arctic Cat has a huge spectrum of ATV’s that come in sizes and cc’s to satisfy just about every class, except for a 500 class machine. Now Arctic Cat has filled that need with the new 550 H1. The new Arctic Cat 550 H1 takes it design from big brother, the 650 H1. Powered by an EFI 545cc, SOHC, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine, the 550 H1 provides plenty of torque and horsepower to negotiate tough terrain and obstacles with ease. The seat on the 550 H1 sits one inch lower than what was last years standard on the 650 H1 which allows the rider to feel like they are sitting more “in” the quad than on top of it. A new handlebar design has been incorporated to give better ergonomics as well. The 550 H1 comes with fully independent front and rear double A-arm suspension and is equipped with preload adjustable shocks. The machine also includes a full-length skid plate, to give added protection when going over obstacles on the trails. The stance and suspension of the 550 H1 are race inspired. It has approximately 2 inches of “ride in”, meaning the machine will squat approximately 2 inches with the rider on board without loosing any of its 11 inches of ground clearance and 10 inches of suspension travel. The lower ride height and center of gravity makes the machine feel more stable while instilling confidence in aggressive cornering and high-speed handling. The 550 H1 is equipped with extra wide fenders that offer superior mud protection and its 25 inch Dunlop Quadmax tires, mounted on 12 inch steel wheels offer plenty of bite and traction to get the power to the ground.

Arctic Cat TRV550 H1 ATV Key Features

The H1 revolution of hemi-producing power has arrived in the 500 class with EFI. As you can imagine, the 550 H1 EFI has a powerful 545cc, SOHC, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine, designed for a wide torque curve with the smoothest power delivery via Electronic Fuel Injection. 550 H1 motor has a 10% increase of power at a lower RPM versus the 500 and a 25% gain in torque. 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. If you choose to leave it in the single rider mode, a rear SpeedRack is available as an accessory from your authorized dealer. Going from 2WD to 4WD is as simple as pressing a shift button, while activating the front diff-lock is as easy as pushing the all-new electronic rocker switch button located on the instrument pod. Simplicity also holds true for the electronic choke system. Start-In-Gear ability and single lever hand operated hydraulic disc brakes. The double A-arm front suspension and fully independent rear suspension (both with five-position spring preload adjustment) deliver 8 inches of travel and keep the ride firmly planted and comfortable. And 10 inches of ground clearance helps you clear nearly all trail obstacles.
