The newly released and tweaked 2011 Arctic Cat Prowler is out and better than ever! The new Prowler XTZ 1000 received some much needed adjustments to look and handle sportier. Equipped with a 1000cc V-Twin, SOHC, 4-stroke, 4-valve w/EFI power-plant, this bruiser might just have the moves it needed to become king. The all new 2011 XTZ 1000 also comes in two new color combinations: White Metallic or Viper Blue Metallic. A few other new improves to note, is the newly added Power Steering, 2'' receiver hitches front and rear, standard rearview mirror and a deluxe digital/analog gauge. There are several other visual goodies, such as the redesigned roll cage, with several new safety features to help keep the driver and passenger safe, while still looking aesthetically pleasing.
The jury is still out whether Arctic Cat's new revision of the Prowler is now a top contender until we actually drive this beast, but the new changes make us feel as though a title shot is in order!

Nick Bulloch, son of Dean Bulloch, champion rock crawler and owner of an Arctic Cat dealership in Utah, raced an Arctic Cat Prowler XTZ. His Prowler XTZ had a LT Suspension from HCR and King Shocks, but was a surprisely, near stock machine.
CEDAR CITY, UT - February 4th, 2010 HCR Racing is proud to be a contender is what's referred to as "The Toughest One-Day Off-Road Race On The Planet, the King of the Hammers on Feb. 8-13th." The Prowler will be driven by Damon Cardone from HCR Racing and Nick Bulloch aka "Baby Ice."
There are a lot of different approaches to racing, and HCR Racing is out to prove the quality of their products by racing an Arctic Cat Prowler XTZ only equipped with their 6+ long travel suspension and the minimum safety requirements provided as bolt-on products from HCR Racing and On Track Fab.
Last year was the inaugural year for UTVs racing the King of the Hammers, and every one of the UTVs that entered were highly modified racing vehicles. After seeing the punishment last year's racers received, finishing with only HCR's long travel suspension will be an amazing testament to their products and driving ability. Here are the details of the kit that's installed on their Race Prowler XTZ:
Custom Tuned King 2.0 Reservoir Shocks/Black or traditional blue for best color match
Summers Brother's Racing 4340 Axles
Laser Cut for precise fit and finish
CNC'd Chromoly construction mounting points
Boxed design and Hand Tig Welded for strength and appearance
OEM ball joints to maximize low speed steering & travel with less maintenance
Complete kit 100% Proudly Made in the U.S.A.
100% Bolt-on installation using factory mounting points
6" wider per side for maximum travel and stability
2" longer wheelbase for better high speed stability hill climbing and descents
Achieves 15"+ wheel travel for the ultimate ride quality and articulation

By any stretch of the imagination, the goal for Arctic Cat/ Bi-Polar Prowler race team for the 2009 race season was daunting: Compete against fully-modified UTVs in the seven-event Best-In-The-Desert (BITD) off-road race series using a stock Prowler XTZ 1000 H2. And by any measure, third place overall is an exceptional accomplishment.
“We came into this series committed to show the world that the major stock components comprising a Prowler XTZ can run with the wild, one-off creations that our competition use,” said team owner/driver Jim Creagan of Yacolt, Wash. “Aside from the required roll cage, extra lighting and King shocks, our Prowler is stock, including the engine, axles and suspension arms. That makes it very satisfying to blow past the other guys.”
While the 1000 H2 EFI engine delivered speeds the fully-modified UTVs couldn’t match, BITD races throw down wicked-rough routes of rocks, holes, ledges, drop-offs and miles of whoops.
Nevertheless, the Arctic Cat/ Bi-Polar team attacked each race in the Nevada desert with the same go-for-it attitude that delivered a 1-2 finish in last year’s Baja 1000 off-road race. Two second-place finishes in the series’ longest races proved the durability of the team and Prowler, while top-fives at other events showed their consistency. Seven races entered, seven finished for third place overall series, which is an accomplishment few teams can claim.
Just as impressive, this was the first season of racing the BITD series for the team.
“Knowing the race courses makes a huge difference,” remarked Creagan. “With a year’s experience, we’ll return next year in a better position to challenge for race wins and the series championship.”
The team’s success coupled with the Prowler’s outstanding durability was an impressive combination that drew the immediate respect of other racers.
“The Nevada desert is an unforgiving place,” said Ted Bettin, Arctic Cat ATV Race Coordinator. “For a first-year effort, to finish every race and take third overall in the series proves the best-in-class performance and durability of our machines.”
The Arctic Cat/ Bi-Polar race team is sponsored by Arctic Cat, GBC Motorsports, TrailReady Beadlock Rims, Tire Balls, Vision X Lighting, King Shocks and Dragonfire Racing
