The 2005 Arctic Cat 500 4x4 Automatic is and all-wheel drive ATV in the middleweight displacement class. Less experienced riders will find operating it quite easy and unintimidating as it comes with an automatic transmission: just twist the throttle and go. And when things are rolling a bit too fast, the 4 hydraulic disc brakes are there to provide firm and dependable stopping force.

One can use the 2WD transmission for riding on paved roads and even ground and the 4WD, for better grip on rough and difficult terrain: switching between the two modes is just a lever push away.
