Default Is Griz to big for wife??

Looking to get second machine for wife.. She is only 5 feet tall and her biggest complaint on my 500ho polaris is to heavy and hard to steer. How does Grizzly steer. Thanks for help.

Grizzly would probably be an excellent bike for her. My mom went from a 1995 wolverine to a grizz and couldn't be happier. While in two wheel drive, the grizz steers like a sport bike. In 4x4 its a little stiffer as you can imagine. She really loves that auto tranny though.

My husband also has a Sportsman 500ho and I agree with your wife, It's very hard for me to steer. I am 5'1, and tried our friends Grizzley, that was not only heavy and hard to steer but like the Sportsman seems very wide and tall. I bought a 03 Kodiak 450 and love it!

I like Grizz 660 I got. It is rather tall compared to normal ATV, but it has power out of this world and insanely nice variable transmission. My friend rode it today after his 350 Big Bear and said it was like a Mercedes[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

My girlfreind is 5'1 115 lbs, she says my pals 600 Grizz is too big and hard to handle. She says she would rather ride my Wolvy. She likes the automatic though.

My wife is 40 years young 5-4 130lbs and rides a P650, she does struggle with it at times but she manages to keep up with us when we are crusing at 50+ mph on dirt roads and muscles it up some pretty narley hills with little trouble.
