2023 Alterra 450 . . . Is it worth buying?

Personally I feel Arctic Cat has really Penny Pinched too much on this model.
Yes it's only a 450 and an entry level unit, but what's next on cutting costs?

I have one one it's great 1600 miles. No problems would buy it again. Bought it in 2021.

As a guy that just needs it to get from A to B on the ranch and 10,000 acres of range. Its perfect. Less electronics, easy to maintain, and tough. Yeah it does have storage. But all my neighbours have alterra 600s and polaris quads. And the hinges on their storage lids or the latches are all blown apart and dont work right any more. To me this quad is a throwback to the 90s. And I really like that. No bells no whistles its just works and is easy to maintain.

Never liked AC, but every owner I talked to loves them, soooo.....

Whats the horsepower for the 450.

[@Kojack919]

443cc

[@MatthewSmith-to1hz]

​@@Kojack919 That's the displacement, not the power.

Really difficult to find the answer to this online, I assume it’s around the ballpark or the Polaris 450 and cfmoto 400s, Yamaha 450s etc. which is around 30-35hp

Yes I need to get the out the door price on the Alterra but you right, it better be cheaper! LOL
