The Wildcat 1000 X is the all-new High Horsepower King of the Wildcat 2-seat family. The Wildcat X combines 90 plus horsepower with the industry’s leading front and rear suspension, making it the best all-around Pure Sport ROV on the market. High horsepower is only a number on paper if you can’t get that power to the ground where it matters. That’s why Arctic Cat engineers partnered with Team Industries to develop a new Drive and Driven clutch that delivers the arm stretching torque and horsepower of the 951cc V-twin engine.

The Wildcat X also features a new sway bar that has been designed to work harmoniously with the all-new, 23-position, compression-adjustable FOX Podium shocks and Maxxis Bighorn tires to create an unrivalled pure-sport ROV experience.

The Wildcat X has been tested in some of the roughest off-road areas in the world, including Barstow, California, the expansive sand dunes in Glamis and rock climbing in Moab. Whatever trail you choose, the Wildcat X is for you!

More information on the Wildcat X engine:

The Wildcat X engine is based off the same High Torque 951cc V-Twin that powers the standard Wildcat. The new X engine boasts over 90 hp, 15% more than the standard Wildcat. So how were we able to squeeze even more power out of this torque monster? One of the ways we were able to boost HP is thru improving volumetric efficiency by changing cam profiles to boost its breathing capability. We improved both valve lift and duration, and combined that with a new pistons and a manifold to maximize airflow to the cylinders. This combined with boosted compression ratios made up the bulk of the power gain. The remainder of the HP gains can be attributed to extensive time spent reducing frictional losses and strategic fuel and ignition calibration strategies. As well as increasing HP we also reduced inertia mass in the crankshaft to give this engine a huge boost in out of the hole acceleration.

The Wildcat X engine will require 91 Octane gas because of higher compression pistons, cams and ECU changes.
