I do not remember if anyone took pics of the H2 or not, we took many of the T-Cat. I was the test rider, not the photographer. The only difference I recall was in the handling. It was almost as good as my Rincon. I was impressed. I was able to turn donuts with it without it tipping. I do believe the GC was a bit lower than the 650H2. Seated it felt lower. As for tech specs, we did not get into them, since we were mainly interested, and the reason for our being there, was the T-Cat. But I did tell the AC engineers that that H2 was the most stable AC quad I had ever ridden.
I just reviewed the pics we brought back and none have a good pic of the H2.
Here is a pic of the cut-away T-Cat engine they had for us to inspect.
And here is a pic of me on the T-Cat riding away from the AC promo trailer (with awning). If you can see the red quad under the awning in the center, that was one of the 700H2s. Hard to see I know. Sorry.

Why haven't they put it into production???? With the T cat & Mudpro already a "sporty" twin sport ute would be a nice addition to the line up.

Got to check out Fox's new utility quad shocks this week at a track in California. They were on a Brute Force and Sportsman 850 and made a huge difference - can't wait to bolt them on the kitty - which I might be picking up this Friday. Interesting idea taking out the front diff... I'll have to think about that one.

Losing the racks will save some weight but remove the diff, driveshaft and axles now that's a diet. Don't know what they do for hubs, I'm pretty sure the arms are still stock.

I wouldnt remove the front dif... whats the point of paying for a 4x4 quad when your going to be taking out what makes it a 4x4. I can only see this being a good point for a strict race machine, but keeping the front diff in will be more realistic to an average rider looking for ideas to mod there quad.

That seems to be some form of cheating, to me
On the bright side, I rocked hella wheelies all weekend! and since the trails arent open, i had to stick to the roads like GlUe! (up nort that is)

Swap out the bars for Flexx bars, might not shave much weight can widen out the bars giving more leverage and making that pig easier to steer.
