“For the 2021 model year, Arctic Cat has simplified its product lineup, with a sharp focus on offering high-performance side-by-sides and ATVs across the most popular product classes and categories in the powersports industry,” said Craig Kennedy, vice president, Arctic Cat for Textron Specialized Vehicles Inc. “For work and play, our 2021 Alterra, Wildcat and Prowler lineup, and the models’ accompanying customization kits, provide riders with the power, versatility and value they need and expect from their side-by-side and ATV.” 

Returning to the Alterra ATV lineup is the mid-sized Alterra 450, with a revised transmission for improved durability. The Alterra 450 features on-the-fly 2WD/4WD, dual A-arm front and rear suspension, and a two-inch receiver hitch, all powered by a liquid-cooled, single-cylinder, 443cc electronic fuel-injected (EFI) engine. The 400-500cc segment is the heart of the ATV market, and the Alterra 450 offers Arctic Cat enthusiasts an option in this category. Rounding out its ATV lineup, Arctic Cat continues to offer the Alterra 300; the full-size Alterra 570 in base and SE models; the Alterra 700 and two-passenger 700 TRV; and the Alterra 90 youth model.
