Arctic Cat Tested Wildcat Top Speed Today!

OK folks, I know you've been dieing for info. Here's a little more to feed your appetite.

Disclaimer - testing was performed non scientifically using a pre-production Wildcat. Actual production vehicle may differ.

OK, so here it is. Indicated (on factory speedometer) top speed was 72 mph with an extremely slight down hill and 70 mph the other direction. When going down hill, I was able to hit the rev limiter, which seemed to be about 7500 rpm.
I have some rough video but i'm still working on getting it uploaded.

Sounds like all the manufactures are holding to the unofficial 75 MPH max from the factory. But that is plenty fast.

I have found that on trails and even stright flat dirt roads that over 65 MPH is all you really want for fun and when I drive up to my limiter of 74 MPH (on my Commander) it is more to say I did it than wanting to go faster. That is stock and as things like long travel get dialed in I may want more speed. But sounds like the Wildcat will hold it's own and then some.
