Comparing 2020 Arctic Cat Alterra 300 4x4 vs 1999 Kawasaki Mojave 250 — Common Questions
Which has the most powerful engine?
The 2020 Arctic Cat Alterra 300 4x4 has the largest displacement at 270cc, making it the most powerful in this comparison. A larger engine generally means more torque for towing and off-road work.
Which quad is the lightest?
The 1999 Kawasaki Mojave 250 is the lightest at 172kg (dry weight). A lighter quad is easier to manoeuvre on trails and simpler to recover if stuck.
Which has the better suspension?
Independent front suspension (A-Arm or IFS) absorbs bumps better than solid-axle designs and improves handling on uneven terrain. Check the Suspension category in the full table above to compare front and rear travel for each model.
Which is the easiest to ride?
CVT automatic transmission is easiest for beginners — there is no gear-changing or clutch to manage. A lower seat height also makes a quad more accessible for shorter riders. Check the Transmission and Seat Height rows in the table above.
