News: The 2009 Arctic Cat Prowler XTZ 1000 was introduced to dealers at the 2008 Arctic Cat Dealer Expo in Thief River Falls, birthplace of Arctic Cat. The 2009 Arctic Cat Prowler XTZ 1000 is expected to be available in December 2008. Engine: The heart of the new Prowler XTZ 1000 is a fuel-injected , 90-degree twin cylinder, hemispherical combustion chamber, single overhead cam (SOHC), with four valves per cylinder. Displacement is 950 cc, which makes it the current king of UTV engines. The engine gurus at Arctic Cat developed it for maximum torque with two valves per cam lobe and forked rocker arms. Arctic Cat claims 188 ft. lb. at the crankshaft. and a rumored 70+ horsepower. There is more good news. This engine is not new. Arctic Cat put it in their Thundercat 1000 ATV in 2007. The cylinder head design on the H2 engine (Prowler 1000) is the same as the H1 (Prowler 700). ** Full-Size Photos Removed at the request of Arctic Cat until June 13th, 2008 ** Engine Features:
Suspension: ** Full-Size Photos Removed at the request of Arctic Cat until June 13th, 2008 ** Ground Clearance: One of my biggest complaints about the Prowler has been the high center of gravity. Well that has changed a bit for the XTZ 1000. Arctic Cat has lowered the chassis a bit due to the high speed the new Prowler is capable of reaching (rumored at 70 mph stock). Digital Instrument Pod: Displays up to 14 critical operation information indicators including: clock/hour meter, fuel level, mode button, set/reset button, odometer/trip, gear position, speedometer/tachometer, needle display, differential lock, drive select, high beam, battery condition, temperature and oil pressure. Other New Stuff: The XTZ 1000 sports an all new chassis. Air intake system has been rerouted and re-engineered to the forward compartment which helps keep noise levels down, and helps keep the filter cleaner. Parking brake is now operated by a hand lever instead of foot pedal. Axle half shafts are larger. Roll cage is now ROPS certified. Arctic Cat XTZ 1000 Specifications:
