Has any one compared these two quad machines out in the field ? I appreciate the differences between them - Outlander- tti irs, visco-lok, single brake lever, centrally located rear brake etc against the vinson- swing arm rear suspension, torque sensing lsd, aluminum wheels, etc.
The Outlander weighs slightly less than the Vinson, does this make a difference ?

 

i was wondering the same thing, iv always wonted to run with an outlander but i have never seen on on the trails.

 

The outlander is like a sportbike wiht the capabilities of a utility...

 

come on outlander owners tell me what you think your machine can do against a vinson or other machines in that category. Have you ever ridden with a sp500 HO or anything else and how did it do? I would appreciate an honest answer, you dont have to tell me that that the outlander beat it in a drag or anything just if it was easy to hang with the bigger quads in the trails and mud and stuff.

 

I ride with a couple of friends that both have 500s. They can out run me on a smooth surface, but on trails, mud, rocks and logs they have trouble keeping up with my outland 400. My bike is a little lighter and easier to handle. I don't find it lacking at all.

 

Did a 30 mile ROUGH stint this past weekend with some friends. There were a pair of Grizzlies, a cat 500, and a pair of 2wd. I handled the mud, DEEP water, and had a smooth ride.

 

echos what kind of 500s did you ride with.
