    Default Artic Cat Trike Prototypes

    Seems that Artic Cat is following the lead of another ATV firm polaris in working on a trike. Here are some drawings of two possible versions.

    There's not much meat in that sandwich yet...
    "Doodlings" on a cocktail napkin may point to the very beginnings of a great idea. Then agiain; sometimes not.
    Let's see what they bring to the table when they've added some substance to it!

    Any company that brings some competition to the table, can be nothing but a good thing! Hopefully more will get in the reverse trike market!Just makes everyone up their game!

    Default Triks

    As was going to town yesterday I saw 6 3wheeler HD's. I pulled in beside then and ask them why they were going backwards. They didn't think it was funny. I guess most HD's are that way.

    Put a BMW or VRSC based Harley on the market, and I would switch. Arctic Cat, Kawi, Suzuki, Polaris… nope….

    Well Can Am did all of the hard work, took the big risks to be first etc. So now all the others will start with their versions sooner or later. It's inevitable.

    ya think? jeep has been building a one of a kind with their wrangler/rubicon etc. for 60 plus years and nobody has jumped in. Suzuki tried with their samuri, but failed, and no on else has tried. heck of a lot bigger market than the reverse trike market.

    I'm guessing this is what's bothering you?.... " But it wouldn't take much to beat a spyder. Just make it get good fuel economy and be reliable. Unlike the can am pos!"
