2015 Arctic Cat XR 550 XT EPS Key Features:
550 H1 4-Stroke Engine with EFI
Pulling, accelerating and climbing. That’s what our engines are good at. And this one is no exception. The potent 550 H1 engine is a 545cc, SOHC, liquid-cooled single cylinder sporting electronic fuel injection.
Ride-In Suspension
With a lower seating profile and improved ergonomics, our Ride-In suspension delivers sharper cornering without sacrificing ground clearance or suspension travel. Double A-arms optimize wheel motion translating into more responsive steering and better cornering.
Power Sport Digital Gauge
This digital gauge features all the essential operation information indicators: RPMs, speedometer, trip mileage, gear indicator, digital clock and fuel indicator.
Duro 3 Star Kaden Tires with Aluminum Wheels
A solid, all-terrain tire, the Duro 3 Star Kaden is a smooth-riding tire with excellent grip, boasting a 3-ply rating. Camo models come standard with powder-coated steel wheels.
Electronic Power Steering (EPS)
It’s all about managing steering torque. Forces are measured electronically both at the handlebar and at the wheels. The ECU calculates resistance as it relates to speed. The power steering motor responds faster than you can blink. Arctic Cat EPS will make you the master of slow-speed maneuvers.
Dual Halogen with LED Accent Headlights
These halogen headlamps are no slouch when it comes to lighting your way home. Teamed up with the LED light bar, the darkness won't last long after this one-two punch.

Quotes:
"Improving rider comfort and ride quality informed many of the changes. The engine was moved forward in the chassis, giving the rider three additional inches of space in the footwell. A narrower design also puts a rider’s feet two inches closer together than on previous models. The chassis was stretched out two inches to achieve a 52-inch wheelbase and the geometry on the front and rear A-arm suspension set-ups has been changed, giving 10-inches of travel at all four corners. All six models come with rear sway bars as well. Changes to the steering head angle, which has been moved rearward by five degrees, is claimed to make cornering easier. The XT and Limited models are even lighter at the handlebars thanks to electronic power steering." -- 4wheeldirt.com
