The hydraulic disc brakes at both the front and rear ensure responsive stopping power, giving riders confidence even in challenging situations. With an electric starter and a fuel capacity of 16 liters (4.23 US gallons), the Alterra 450 is built for convenience and efficiency. Available in striking color options like Coyote Tan and Grey, this ATV not only performs well but also looks the part. Plus, with a 12-month warranty, Arctic Cat ensures peace of mind for new owners. **
