Black Hills Edition
Increasing the factory tire size from 30 in to 32 in brings the XX Black Hills Edition right in line with Arctic Cat’s top competitors but its not just the tires. Along with Arctic Cat’s ADAPT clutch system, the Black Hills Edition XX also receives a lower gear ratio in the transmission to help turn the larger tires and climb steeper grades.
This side-by-side does not play around. Designed for some hardcore riding, the Wildcat XX Black Hills Edition comes equipped with trail-oriented features that will enhance your experience. With a factory-installed Garmin Tread GPS with a long-range antenna, you can keep track of where you’ve explored, as well as your friends’ locations on the trails. Plus, with 32-inch trail tires and elevated ground clearance, you’ll be able to pass over more obstacles. And for more traction in your climbs, this side-by-side is equipped with an ALL-NEW lower gear ratio transaxle that helps you dig in. On top of all these features, you still get the power and suspension of a Wildcat XX side-by-side, so you’re set to take on some real challenges.
