With a name like “Bearcat,” the Arctic Cat Bearcat series should be taken seriously. Versatility and simplicity are the hallmarks of the 2014 Arctic Cat Bearcat 570. It has a fan-cooled engine rated at about 60 hp, so there’s enough growl to perform work and then head out for a 2-up cruise after the job is complete. An extra-long track keeps the snowmobile afloat and tall lugs dig deep when riding off the beaten path.
