Arctic Cat Mud Pro 700 H1 |
Jacksonville, TX - While many
manufacturers have stepped up to produce purpose-specific
ATV’s, most of their machines are geared
toward either racing or cruising the trails,
but Arctic Cat has recognized another aspect
of the ATV world that has grown in popularity
and have carved a unique niche for themselves
with the production of the Arctic Cat 700 H1
EFI Mud Pro. As ATVriders.com would soon find
out at the Arctic Cat press intro, this manufacturer
has taken “playing dirty” to a whole
new level.
Since Arctic Cat is U.S. based company, they
have a distinct advantage over their foreign
competitors in responding to U.S. consumer demand.
While non-domestic manufacturers have to go
through miles of red tape in development of
their ATVs, Arctic Cat is able to avoid the
red tape and respond much faster to market demand
and put out an ATV that would take a lot longer
for their competitors to accomplish.

Arctic Cat 700 H1 EFI Engine |
Built at Arctic Cat’s own facility in St.
Cloud, MN, the Arctic Cat 700 H1 EFI Mud Pro is
powered by a 695cc liquid cooled, hemispherical
combustion engine that delivers plenty of power
and the special 4.0 gearing and tuned clutching
provides massive amounts of low-end torque to
get through deep, thick mud. The new snorkel,
which is exclusive to the 700 H1 EFI Mud Pro,
is hood mounted to keep mud and water out f the
intake system, even in the deepest mud and water.
The electronic fuel injection on the Mud Pro has
been specially tuned to work with the new snorkel
to provide optimum power.

| The
2009 Arctic Cat Mud Pro 700 contains an
ATV industry first with a front fender
snorkel air system (above left) for the
EFI, CVT intake & exhaust, which is
essential for riding through deep mud
or water, and prior to the MudPro, ATV
owners needed to build custom snorkel
systems out of PVC pipe (above right),
which would void the factory warranty
and decrease the overall appearance of
the ATV |

28"
Highlifter Outlaw MST
Tires are designed for Mud
-Snow - Trails,
mounted on stylish 12" Aluminum wheels |
The Mud Pro has also been outfitted with Outlaw
MST Tires that have been specially designed
to provide awesome traction and superior floatation
and the suspension has been designed to work
in conjunction with competition spring and shock
valving, and preload adjustments tailored to
the taller mud tires. The independent rear suspension
provides awesome stability and good handling
in sticky situations. Arctic Cat has also given
the Mud Pro and industry leading 14 inches of
ground clearance, which is four inches more
than on the standard TRV 700 H1 model. Another
exclusive feature of the 700 H1 EFI Mud Pro
is its metallic green automotive style paint
job that, when in its element, gives it the
appearance of a gator in the swamp. With all
these special features, we were very eager to
try out Arctic Cat’s mud monster
