I don't have an official comparison, other than I owned a 2014 Wildcat trail, and now have a 2016 Wolverine. Simply put, the Arctic Cat was junk. I owned it for less than two years. Here's a list of what went wrong. Gauge went black. Front cv joints started making clicking sounds, it squeaked and rattled like an old farm truck after a couple of hundred miles. It sits low and hit every bump or rock in the trail, and it rode like a bulldozer. The fuel injection would get into a loop where the engine would "gallop" like an old detroit diesel. The clutching became abrupt, and the transmission was making a loud racheting sound whenever we went down the slightest hill and was off the gas. Finally the drivers door, fell off. Now bear in mind, I'm in my 50's and all my wife and I do is light trail riding. We don't beat on our stuff. We bought the Cat because we thought we needed a 50 inch machine. We traded it in for the Wolverine, and it is better in every single area but brute engine power. However, since the Wilcat engine is made by Kymco, I am fine with less horsepower, and have more trsut in the Yamaha single over the Kymco twin. I tell people that I traded in my sports car and bought a luxury 4X4 pickup truck. And I LOVE the Wolverine.
