The 2017 Wildcat X from Arctic Cat with RG Pro suspension.
The Wildcat X Limited adds full doors, front and rear aluminum bumpers and a molded roof.
The four-seat Wildcat 4X rounds out the lineup.
Arctic Cat recently unveiled their 2017 Wildcat X, X Limited and 4X models. The first two are two-passenger models and the latter 4-passenger. One of the key features of the 2017 Wildcat lineup is the RG Pro suspension. The RG stands for Robby Gordon who helped develop the new models. The suspension includes a rear trailing arm similar to what Gordon used on his off-road Dakar Hummers. The trailing arms allow the wheel to trail up and down. Compared to competitive vehicles the Wildcat X will hop around less and the tire patch will tend to remain in the same location, and this translates into more speed through the bumps. Other features include larger diameter tie-rods, King shocks, race-inspired ROPS with additional front braces, stronger chassis and KMC aluminum wheels with 27″ ITP Ultracross tires.

Other features include:
- 951cc, H2, liquid-cooled V-Twin EFI engine
- 2WD/4WD with electronic front differential lock
- 17″/15.5″ of front/rear suspension travel
