This new shootout from Dirt Wheels should be a good one for all of you guys. Wait until you read it... It's nice.

Speculation on who will win and why?

Rubicon will win if for no other reason than it is new and "the smooth automatic transmission allowed us the ease of throttle control over the real nasty stuff".

Unless.... The Sportsman wins because it has excellent ground clearance, keeps all wheels on the ground over uneven terrain, and has never lost.

Or.... the Magnum wins because they are tired of the Sportsman winning everything and its first class suspension gets the Jekyl and Hyde from the writers who consider it to be "tippy" compared to the "stable" straight axle of the Magnum.

And finally..... The Quadmaster wins, because the riders found some wild mushrooms growing under a cow flop and happened to be hunger stricken at the time. Then in a stupor of massive halucinations, decided that the quadmaster was the best because the rider who found the magic shrooms happened to be riding this particular machine at the time.

I think Andy about summed it all up. You wonder sometimes if there isn't a little payoff going on under the table with these magazines...........food for thought.

WONDER?????.. No, I don't wonder anymore.... I thought I saw an article in Douche Wheels where they were saying how much better the Turf Tamers were in the mud over the Outlaws... Guess HL needs to make that check a little bigger next time huh?
