Im going to get a rincon 680 or a grizz 700 im going to use it more for trail riding and hunting jumping logs (rarely) which will have better low end which is a better bike for the price whats good about these bikes whats bad

 

Well, the Rincon has a 3 speed torque converter transmission similar to an automobile, limited slip front end, no low range. It has a very soft ride and good handling, but not much for engine braking below about 10 mph, meaning you need to use the brakes on steep technical decents. The transmission can operate as an automatic, or with a flip of a switch you can control where it shifts with an up and down button on the left side of the bar.

The Griz has a CVT Belt auto, with a subtransmission that has low range, high range and reverse. It also has a locking front differential, and electric power steering, and good engine braking...

Both have a good reputation for reliability.

They are pretty different machines. There's something about the design and feel of the Honda that I prefer, but on the other hand the Yam's power steering, locker, and low range would all be nice.

Try to get a real ride on both machines. That's the only way you can decide which machine would be best for your particular use, riding style, and personal preference.

 

P.S. I see this is your first post. Welcome to the forum.

 

thanks

 

If you plan on putting on anthing other than stock tires, they both are close to equal. But if you are think of different aftermarket tires then I would lean towards the Yam.

I am a faithful Honda guy but, they other brands are nicer and more options.

 

The 700 Griz is truly a full featured machine that comes with both high and low range, a full locking 4 wheel drive system, 4 wheel independent suspension, mega ground clearance, electronic fuel injection, non-linked independent 4 wheel disc brakes, plus the best automatic tranny and down hill engine braking in the industry. But it takes more than excellent features to get any machine to perform and that would be rider skill and courage. So the bottom line is that a good rider can go anywhere on a Rincon with fewer features than a less talented rider can go on a Grizzly. Since I am lacking in both skill and courage I opted on getting all the help I could find and selected the Griz. I have no regrets.

 

I ride with a bunch of Rincons and think they are very nice quads but for the money I think they come up short because of the lack of a locker, low range, and less ground clearance then the other makes. My recommendation would be for the Grizzly simply because it is a better value for the money. I bought a Grizzly 450 over the 660 or 700 just because I didn't need the power (but more power is always nice to have) and I prefered the smaller physical size of the 450.

The biggest arguement you will probably hear against the Grizzly is that it uses a belt drive (CVT) tranny compared to the Honda's more sophisticated automotive type tranny. I think a lot of bias against CVT trannys is due to the early Polaris CVT's that didn't feature engine braking and used the belt as a wear item. The Yamaha Ultramatic is completely different than an early Polaris CVT of a snowmobile CVT. For me it has worked perfectly. I know it cost one of my riding buddies close to an additional $1000 to have low range gears installed in his new Rincon tranny at the dealer before he took delivery. He is running 27's as 28's would not fit without a lift and/or body trimming.

 

I have ridden both atv's and they are close in power in high but you put the grizz in low and there is tones of power diffrence and the power steering is realy nice but the rincon is a nice riding and handling. If you are going to do a lot of work with it I would get the grizz and if you are doing a lot more trail riding I would go with the rincon and it is about $700 less in the area I live in the grizz is around 7500 and the rincon is 6800. Good luck on your choice both are very good atv's.
