| Lamontagne's Full Review: 2000 Arctic Cat 500 4x4 |
Geez, where do I begin? I LOVE THIS QUAD!
I don't have a massive background of testing out quads, but I do have a basic knowledge, having ridden 4 or 5 different models. This one is BY FAR the best one yet.
As far as power is concerned, don't even WORRY about it. You've got more than enough. It's got enough torque to make me worry I'm gonna get tossed off the back when I open it up on a straightaway, and enough power to mow down a tree on accident.(it WAS an accident)
The control was excellent. Even at 55 and 60mph, I felt completely in control. Which brings me to braking. Yeah, that's excellent as well. Thought I'd go over the bars.
I had no problems in any of the situations I was in. Comin down from some good air didn't affect it. It even held out being pretty much completely submerged.
As a matter of fact, I don't think there's ANY SITUATION this Cat can't handle.
