Default wolverine 450 or grizzly 450

Which is better?
do they have the same displacement?
does the grizzly have a locking diff?
which has more tourqe?
which is better for east coast trails?
wolvies SRA?
grizzly's IRS?
one thing the grizzly has that the wolverine doesnt is the emergency recoil pull start.


im not so much confused just need some guidance.

Motor is the same except the grizz has low range.
Grizz does have a locking diff.
Torque should be about the same.
I like the Wolvy because of the sra and you can throw it around easier. But you still have 4x4 for creeks and hard climbs.

As far as which is better, who knows I would say probably about the same.

so i guess i comes mostly down to wether you want a locking front diff or a solid rear axle, thats actually alot to think about!!!!

yep pretty much, As you can tell I prefered the SRA, I dont do a lot of deep mud though so I dont know how much I would actually use a locking front diff.

I rarely or never use the locking diff on my Kodiak 450. In fact the 400 Kodiak I had before was in some aspects more fun because of the straight axle to throw around and blasting out of corners. But... my new 450 has the clearance I've been looking for to tame the hidden skid plate scrapers that pop up here and there all over these Northern Ontario trails.

Who do you ride with? Each bike has their application....

The griz is for load bearing/deeper and muddier trails. It gives you some decent speed, but definitely can't be confused with a sport quad. The IRS helps with off camber hill/trail riding. IRS also provides a much softer ride. The Diff-lock helps this machine compete w/ the big bores when mudding.

The wovl. is more nimble and stable because of the SRA. It'll have more issues with the deeper mud and will get hung up more on logs/stumps/rocks. The 4wd is more for those sloppy trail rides and not meant for mudding. It's a fun trail quad that can keep up with the ute's for the most part until you get to the deep stuff...

I almost bought the Wolverine as I was upgrading from a 400 SRA Kodiak. It was a tough call for me.
