I will be getting a quad in a month or so and am torn between the grizzly 450 and the wolverine 450 I will be doing trail riding and small creeks/light mud so if anybody could tell me the ups and downs of both and their top speeds

 

i bought a 2007 wolvy in december and i love it! this atv is great for going through mud, the only time it has left me stranded was when i was sinking in quick sand and the only thing that would be able to get through that would be probly a grizzly 700 or something. but im not saying that this thing is a mud maching but you will be suprised what this thing will get you through. but anyway the wolvy is also great for climing hills, one of the best out there. the only thing i do not like about the wolvy is that i wish it had more power expecially on the bottom end but you can fix thta with an HMF pipe. if you want to get a exhaust either get a GYTR, hmf, or FMF. also another great thing about the wolvy is the on dommand 4x4. especially on the trails when your riding in 2x4 you can still whip the back end around a little bit if you want to. the wolvy is able to keep up with the big boys on trails and once in a while will even be pulling out a bigger atv. all around this atv is great but the wolverine isnt a work horse or anything so i wouldnt get this atv if you might be doing some ustility work considering it has no racks but you will be amazed of what it can do for its size. ive have read that the grizz 450 is way slower than the wolvy. the wolvy tops out at about 50-55 but for what you doing you probly wont need more top end. the wolverine sounds perfect for what you going to use it for but what ever you decide to get im happy for you.

Wolverine 450

The Grizzly 450 is a good bike but the Wolverine is the one to get... When I was looking for an ATV the 450 Grizzly was my 2nd pick... The more I ride this bike the more I know I picked the right ATV... The Wolverine will be better than the Grizzly on the trails and can climb hills better (center of gravity is lower)... I ride in Med mud and the Wolverine can handle it's own...

You really can't go wrong with either one but reading where and how you will be riding,,, the Wolverine is the one for you...

Wolverine's rock. It's a very fun ride.
