2012 Arctic Cat Bearcat® 570 XT

bearcat 570xt pros & cons

Yes ,bought this sled I think now more for the looks than anything! Don't get me wrong it goes threw a lot of deep stuff & hills! The only thing is, make shure you can get a good speed before!! Yes unfortunately it does NOT have enought power, also the clutch is not the best I have seen! Their i...s no dual range on the drives as to have a LOW & HIGH true trans gears!!! Don't really know why they would build a beautifull machine like this without a real transmision with LOW & HIGH range.Have nothing bad to say about the comfort on the sled cause it is very comfy.Two other thing I don't like about the sled is {one-is the stupid reverse switch on the handle bars, you think they would have it opperational with mitts or gloves!!!no you have to remove them to operate it?also why would you put this ellectric REALY I do understand the weight essue but this is a work horse!!!{#2 is the thumb&hand warmer switch,you put them on & the nex thing you know their both OFF.The way the position of the switches are is not to eficient.All of this beside, big fuel tank {probobly not the same engineer who came out with this!!!}Also no rear rack as standard equipment.

2012 Arctic Cat BC 570 XT

I have had this sled for 2 winters now and have several likes and dislikes. On the "like" side it has great flotation in deep snow, sufficient power to maintain speed in slush and has low enough clutching to pull a heavy load (ice hut or firewood sleigh)in loose snow. As far as dislikes......the reverse button is a pain as you mostly have to remove your mitts to push the button. I also agree with other reviews in that this sled should have a low/high range transmission. Lastly....gas mileage is very poor....I think a 4 stroke is in order next time....maybe a yellow one.
