what is the best offroad 4 wheeler 4 my dad

 

Need lots more information!

Where will he be riding (woods trail, desert, dunes, etc.)? Is he likely to need 4wd, or will 2wd do? Utility or sport? etc., etc........

 

i thought all fourwheelers were off road....lol...like rencon ranger said were you guys riding....and what do you ride

 

were riding in tug hill in ny but we want something bigger than a 500 but what kind

 

So like WTF is Tug Hill???? You thinking utility or sport quad???? Can't be any help without more info.

 

what were asking is trails or mudding or jumping and how difficult is the terrain..any quad is capable of all this ,but some shine were others dont ..like a 400ex isnt the best mud machine ,and jumping a rubicon isnt recomended..on the other hand the 400ex jumps like a rabbit ,and a rubicon is a great mud machine

 

Please describe the riding area that your dad likes to ride in.

Is it fast trails?

Rocky?

Muddy?

Rooted?

What would you say your dad's riding style is?

What would *he* say his riding style is? .....lol

 

Gary, my son and I mostly ride in Northern New York at a location known as Tug hill. The region is an elevated network of trails and snowmobile paths that stretch across about 80miles. On the trails themselves a rider could encounter a great deal of mud as well as narrow rooted paths. When not in use the snowmobile paths tend to be used as high speed trails. As for rocky areas we have zero to speak of. As for my riding style, I tend to ride aggressively. I recently road tested the Can AM 800, 400ex, and Can Am 500 at a Motorsport event. I was impressed with the 400ex, for being only a 400 it was powerful. Any suggestions????? Robert

 

Robert,

You can't go wrong with the 400EX. It's light, powerful and nearly bulletproof. I had one before my 700xx and I loved it, now that I have my 700xx though I wouldn't go back ESPECIALLY with the crazy prices they are going for now. I saw one in the dealer for a Franklin under 6k.

The ground clearance is awesome for muddy and rutted trails that would and will leave many SRA quads sitting on their real skid plate. Check out exriders and a few other sites and ask the independent rear suspension guys what they think. You'll be surpised how many trail riders and racers wouldn't go back to SRA.

How tall are you?
