Vehicle Information
Arctic Cat Alterra 400 ATV (2016-2017)
The Arctic Cat Alterra 400, available for the 2016 and 2017 model years, is a robust ATV known for its consistent performance and utility. Both years featured a reliable 366cc, single-cylinder, 4-stroke, SOHC engine, air and oil-cooled, utilizing a carburetor for fuel delivery. This model was offered as a single, well-equipped trim, providing a straightforward choice for riders. The Alterra name itself was introduced in 2016, bringing a new body style and rack system to Arctic Cat's ATV lineup, replacing the previous XR series. For the 2016 and 2017 model years, the Arctic Cat Alterra 400 remained largely unchanged. The 2017 model was a direct carryover from 2016, retaining the same engine specifications, bodywork, and rack system. This means there were no significant mid-cycle generation or engine changes between these two model years, ensuring consistent parts compatibility and performance across the 2016-2017 range. FAQ:
