Vehicle Information
Arctic Cat XR 550 ATV (2015)
The 2015 Arctic Cat XR 550 represents a significant generational leap for the brand's ATV lineup. This "all-new" model completely replaced the previous 550H1, introducing a redesigned platform with a new frame, suspension, and angular bodywork. Key improvements focused on rider ergonomics, featuring an engine repositioned forward for a narrower midsection and a more natural riding position. The 545cc SOHC liquid-cooled engine, equipped with a new closed-loop EFI system, delivers usable power with good low-to-mid range performance, while enhancing fuel economy and reducing emissions. The chassis boasts revised steering and suspension geometry, including double A-arms with 10 inches of travel and an integrated rear swaybar, along with an extended 52-inch wheelbase for improved ride quality. Ergonomic enhancements like a rearward steering post and spacious footwells contribute to reduced rider fatigue. For 2015, the XR 550 was offered in Standard, XT, and LTD trims, with the XT adding features like EPS and LED lighting, and the LTD further upgrading with heavy-duty bumpers and a winch. FAQ:
