Mine runs around 55 MPH I think the grizzly and HO
run around 60-65.But the Rubicon is the quickest
off the line because of the tranny.

In their last shootout, ATV Magazine put the radar gun all three, thus ruling out speedos that read inaccurately.
Ruby 50MPH
Grizz 52 MPH
SP 500 HO 54 MPH

I guess if the magazine says these are the speeds then it's the gospel.

I don't know if it's gospel, but they used a $2500 Stalker Radar and Acceleration testing system, which is a combination radar gun and computer software system. The mag claims it to be the most accurate speed measuring system available. I would be inclined to trust it over a $200 dollar speedo.
