How is this new 650-Twin Arctic Cat? How does it compare to a Yamaha Grizzly 660 and the Polaris 700 Sportsman?

Well... The arctic cat has the kawasaki 650 motor in it and I have a prairie 650 and no other utility can touch it. If you are looking for speed, and torque and power... then the arctic cat or the praire is the way to go

I have an 04 Griz, my friend bought a 04 Arctic Cat 650. He couldn't keep up at top end, I pulled away. He can do wheelies if he pulls hard. If you want to do wheelies BUY a Raptor or something like it. I drove the Arctic Cat (Opinion) Didn't like the way it felt or rode compared to my Grizzly. I haven’t tried a Rincon Yet. Good Luck ps….. polaris way to heavy

The Arctic Cat 650 doesn't even come close to compare with those machines because you can't....It's just better than the grizzly or polaris. Don't waste your time comparing because you'll find that in the end Arctic Cat will come on top.(Like Always) Sorry, it's just the way it is boys and girls!

Why wouldn't you buy USA made.I have a CAT AND" WOULD NOT" OWN ANYTHING ELSE.V twin tourqe is ausome,mixed with true independed suspension for ride comfort.If you go and put on 27" tires it will give your cat over 14" ground clearance.I can take pathson the trails that most all other bikes can not!!!I have been on several ralleys. When they see that big green cat comming they know to pull over.

Haha, It doesn’t compare at all. It is way below Yamaha and Polaris quality standards. I know 3 people who have Arctic Cats (including 2004 650) and they have nothing but trouble with them. No joke. It is way too heavy for its engine size. It is slower than any other ATV in its class. It is not a good value money wise. You want a real ATV, go with a Yamaha, Honda, or Polaris. They have been making ATVs since the beginning of time, which means lots of experience in the business. Don’t believe me? Look at owner reviews on this website. Arctic Cat has one of the lowest overall ratings between the more popular ATV manufacturers. This particular model has 8 reviews. Out of those 8, 3 are low marked. This means that 37% of reviewers gave AC 650 a lower than perfect mark. Now look at Yamaha Grizzly. There are 33 total reviews, and only 4 are not perfect. That means only 12.12% of Grizzly reviewers voted less than perfect. Don’t listen to those delusional Arctic Cat patriots. Look at the numbers for your self.
