In 2002, Arctic Cat's 400 models represent some of the best values available in an ATV today. For starters, how about two all new machines complete with true, fully-independent suspension both front and rear. Something you won't find on the competitive machines.

Next, throw in a best-in-class 300 lb. combined rack capacity, all-new styling, manual in-out front differential, best-in-class 1,050 lb. towing capacity, and best-in-class 12-inches of ground clearance (i models). Simply, it's more machine with a price you'll have a hard time beating. Both 400i models will feature a whopping,10-inches of wheel travel (best-in-class).

What's more, both 400i models allow for spring pre-load adjustment (5 positions in the rear, 3 positions in the front) for the best of conditions whether hauling a heavy load or simply enjoying your favorite trail. All three 400 models feature a fully-independent double A-arm suspension up front giving you a more comfortable ride in all types of terrain.

The 400 engine which demonstrates exceptional low-end torque and towing power is controlled by a five-speed, auto clutch transmission.

And Arctic Cat's consumer favored, exclusive rocker shifter allows for full floorboard protection giving you added comfort and confidence. In addition, the 400 machines also sport Hi-Lo range transmission and now, selectable 2WD/4WD for easy shifting and steering comfort.

Engineered for low maintenance, Arctic Cat's fully sealed engine and magneto keep out moisture for added engine life. Oil filter and filler are easy to reach. Maintenance-free suspension bushings replace the parts on competitive machines that require frequent lubrication. Superior stopping power is provided by front and rear hydraulic disc brakes operated by a single-lever control featuring an integrated brake lock. They're low maintenance too, requiring zero adjustment.

And for machines that offer a best value, you can expect all the extras. Standard on all three 400 machines you'll find "Stick Stoppers", protecting the CV boots in the rough stuff, full-length plastic skid plate that doesn't rip or rust like steel and it's slipperier, allowing you to easily slide over rocks and stumps. Standard also are dual 12v accessory plugs, axle-mounted hitch and a start-in-gear feature eliminating the need to shift to neutral before starting the engine.
