Arctic Cat offers its riders a choice when it comes to big-power engines: the all-new 650 H1 Hemi or the (new last year) 650 V-Twin. The H1 is a single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, 641cc four-stroke engine designed for massive low-end and midrange torque. The V2 is a V-twin, liquid-cooled, 633cc four-stroke engine known for its smooth power delivery and performance. Both engines have automatic transmissions and are designed to take riders through or over just about anything without so much as a whimper. 

The 650 sports all-new plastic bodywork, including extra-wide fenders to protect the rider from mud and water spray, "cat-eye" headlights that add style while improving illumination and integrated full-length plastic floorboards for traction. A redesigned seat is wider for increased comfort, and a new latch allows quick removal and access to a handy tool tray.
