Arctic Cat announces 2-passenger utility vehicle - the SBS 1000

Making its debut at the 2001 Arctic Cat ATV Dealer show held in Orlando, Florida, the SBS 1000 Utility Vehicle will add to the already extensive 8 new '02 models offered to Arctic Cat Dealers bringing the total to 16 models.

Unlike a traditional ATV, the SBS features side-by-side seating carrying driver and one passenger comfortably in bucket seats with electric key starting. A unique rear suspension works independently of front for improved traction and stability. And a class leading, 9-ft. turning radius will maneuver you and your payload around just about any obstacle encountered.

Like a traditional Arctic Cat ATV, the SBS 1000 is no stranger to work. It features a rugged 15 cubic ft. plastic box that's non-corrosive, capable of hauling a whopping 1000 lbs. When it's time to leave it all behind, just drop the tailgate and move the locking lever while tilting the durable rear box.

"We had a strong request from our dealers for a model that would carry two people and a heavy payload," stated Arctic Cat's Product Manager, Ron Solberg. "The SBS 1000 offers great value as well as being easy to use and will fit the needs of homeowners, farmers & ranchers as well as commercial users."
