2008 Arctic Cat F570
Here’s another great looking 2008 model. The F570 is lightweight, fan-cooled and downright fun to ride. It’s not the best Arctic Cat to get, but it works great for a beginner or intermediate rider. The sled has nice mid range, but pretty much lacks the top end. It handles easily since it’s small and if you’re into tight trails it will work miracles. The comfort is not perfect, but it will do. Mileage is good and I’m sure you’ll be happy with it. It’s a sled that deserves to be given a choice, so see its characteristics:

The only issue with this the F570 is the gas cap. Many people have problems with it leaking, but that’s easy to fix. You just have to take it the dealers for a quick repair. The F570 is overall very reliable sled and other than the gas cap I don’t think you’ll have any problems with it. It’s also at an awesome price. It’s pretty much half the price of most of the Arctic Cat sleds. It really is a great beginner’s snowmobile to get. Think about it.
