Arctic Cat - now Textron Powersports - has a loyal following for good reason. The Wildcat XX pushes 130hp stock and the Alterra lineup dominates trail riding. Here is what owners upgrade most.
Wildcat XX Performance
The XX's turbocharged engine responds well to intake and exhaust mods. A full exhaust system from HMF or MBRP adds 18-25hp and dramatically improves throttle response. Pair with a clutch kit to transfer all that power to the ground efficiently.
Alterra ATV Upgrades
The Alterra 700 and 570 are trail-ready machines. Top upgrades: ITP Mud Lite tires for off-road grip, Warn winch for recovery, and LED pods for low-light riding. Front rack extenders add carry capacity for hunting and camping trips.
Parts Availability Note
Since Textron's acquisition, parts availability has improved significantly. MotoDepot Store stocks both legacy Arctic Cat and current Textron-branded components for seamless maintenance across model years.
