Hi, I am looking around for a new ATV and I don't know what to buy between the Renegade 500 and the grizzly 700. I do a little bit of everything but I don't work with it and rarely pull things. I do a little bit of everything (snow, mud, sand pits, small jumps, little rocky trails, little of racing) I know that the grizzly and the Renegade are both pretty smooth and comfortable and I know the Renegade has a sport side. I would like an ATV with good handling so I don't want a big thing that is hard to control on a track. Is the Grizzly a big thing with a super soft suspension that makes it tippy? And another thing I was worried about is I don't want an ATV that breaks all the time I know Yamaha are good for that but do Can-Am make ATVs that rarely breaks too? I also heard that the Renegade 500 is really powerful and someone said that it can beat a grizzly 660 on asphalt. Also, I don't modify my ATVs so I would consider what ATV has the better accesories stock like tires and everything...

Thanks! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

you said track... Might as well eliminate the griz right there since you don't plan on doing any aftermarket stuff....

 

The way you describe your riding preferences, I would suggest a true sport quad you can handle just about everything. I ride a stock 660 raptor it outperforms my dads sportsman 4X4 in the snow. It handles rough trails pretty well cuz you can shift your body and get over just about anything. The only downside to a sport quad vs the 4X4 is that it wouldn't fair well in deep mud.

 

Ok thank you very much everybody! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] And where I ride is all sand so I could have problems with the bearings of the grizzly. I think I maid my decision. I'll go with the can-am. I think the Renegade is more good looking, it have more handling wich I want, and it comes with better tires! The only reason I wanted the Grizzly is for the price and the reliable side and a little bit for the diff-lock but the Renegade 500 is not that more expensive than the Grizzly 700 (with no power steering, cheeper) and the Can-Am looks pretty reliable when you take care of your ATV, it also have an automatic diff-lock so well I'll buy the Renegade soon when I'll have enough saved pennys ( in like 3 months ). I also have to wait to sell my Wolverine 450. Thanks again everybody and if you have more things to say please continue posting! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
