More Power For All-Terrain Touring: Alterra 1000 TRV XT

February 2016 Powersport News

Power your way to any adventure with the new 2017 Arctic Cat Alterra 1000 TRV XT. This is the V-twin king of the all-new, four-model Alterra line of touring ATVs for both one and two passengers.

Arctic Cat pioneered the two-rider-vehicle category, and the powerful 1000 TRV continues the tradition with its extended chassis featuring a newly-sculpted, extra comfortable two-passenger seat with padded backrest, plus new ergonomically friendly passenger handles and raised passenger footrests, all of which deliver a premium 2-up riding experience for both the driver and passenger.

New features in the Alterra TRV platform include dual front tow hooks and dual halogen headlights (with LED accents) plus dual rear LED lights. Also new, the steel-reinforced composite SpeedRack II front rack is now matched with an all-new, full-sized rear SpeedRack II, both featuring the and rear racks with the SpeedLock II integrated accessory attachment system offering 100/200-lb. capacities and secure, rubber-coated surfaces. This smart rack system enables quick attachment or removal of a wide array of useful accessories.

The TRV chassis offers double A-arm front and rear suspensions with 10 inches of travel and 11 inches of ground clearance, so you can ride the rough with confidence. A rear sway bar enhances cornering.

Need power? The hallmark of this machine is its 951cc Arctic Cat H2 V-twin 4-stroke engine with Electronic Fuel Injection. Unmatched in arm-stretching power and acceleration, the H2 gives you more power whenever you need it.

Aiding in the Alterra TRV’s unmatched driver ease is Arctic Cat’s Variable Assist Electronic Power Steering (EPS), which delivers steering assistance that begins at engine idle and provides significantly reduced steering effort when in 4WD, especially when the differential lock is engaged.

When it’s time to go solo, a new and simple latch simple pin-pull system allows you to easily remove the passenger seat/backrest combo, or you can replace the seat with a rack or accessory cargo box. Other premium features include hydraulic disc brakes; zero-maintenance suspension bushings; sealed drive shafts; a large 5.3-gallon fuel tank; and a durable, full-length plastic skid plate.

The 1000 TRV also gets premium automotive-style paint and cast aluminum wheels wrapped with 25-in. Carlisle Trail Pro tires. It’s available in Vibrant Red.
