I was looking at the Stealth at the dealer today and noticed there are disk brakes on all wheels except the left rear. Why doesn't the left rear get a brake caliper? Is this how Polaris has been designing the brakes? How are Polaris brakes compared to the competitors?

 

there is only one brake for the rear. it used to be off from the tire and it has always worked pretty good. i think the bombie has a single disk on the rear drive as well. i always sem to stop or lock up the wheels if i had too. the foot brake is kind of usless but ive found if i press hard enough i can lock and slide if i want.

 

I seen on a atv show that one make is comming out with all four wheels with disc brakes............can someone remind the readers what quad this is?......I think it may have been the Artic cat 800 L.E. not sure though........caper.............

 

The new Grizz 700 is the only quad that has disk on all 4 wheels that I can remember. Most have the 2 fronts while one will stop the back. I can't think of any atv with 4 sets of brakes, other then the 07 Grizz 700.

 

Yes that must have been the one they were testing on Dirt Trax T.V. ............caper....Thanks I forgot the make/model.

 

Polaris was the 1st to have 4 wheel disc brakes on the 2004 ATP and also on the Sportsman X2 models.They have the dual rear discs because of the versa trac rear end.
Why does the 700 grizz have it?

 

I always thought that only one disc was needed because both rear axles are locked.

 

I was at Tractor Supply last weekend and saw a quad there for sale with dual-discs on the rear. The name brand started with "M" but I can't remember the name. It was pretty ugly.
