Which atv's that is the spcific model have true 4wd?

 

Honda has to True 4WD but the Rubicon has a pretty advanced limited slip, All Polaris 4by4's are true 4Wd, the Suzuki King quad is, the traxter, and thats all i can thin of for now

The only 4x4 quads manufactured today that supply all 4 wheels with power is the Suzuki King Quad.Polaris 4x4 quads also give you the same benefit of power to all 4 wheels WHEN the AWD is activated.[rear wheels spin faster than the fronts]The AWD system on my Sportsman works flawlessly and provides me with 4 wheel power.The Traxter has a torque sensing front end.While it is an improvement over limited slip differentials,it is still not a true 4x4 system.=====BILL

Right, Bill; and, add to your "true 4WD" list, the Suzuki Quadrunner 250 4X4, the King Quad's little brother!

This could be defined in a bunch of ways but for the only TRUE 4wd, only the Suzuki King Quad & Quadrunner 250 can take that title. Polaris's have both fronts spinning, but not when going downhill. At least not going downhill slowly, you would have to do the suicide run to get the wheels to spin going down.

Only those two. Why is that I wonder. Your only choices with that differential lock are a 300 and a 250. Why can't somebody put this on a larger quad?

How can you say the Traxter doesn't have true 4 wheel drive? All four wheels spin all the time, so what else is there to make it "true"?

 

Rooster,get the Traxter in serious mud and it will not turn all 4 wheels.It will however supply power to the wheel that needs the traction,not the one that is spinning helplessly in the air.These guys are correct,the 250 4x4 Suz,and the KQ are indeed ''true'' 4x4.

The Arctic Cat 300 Also has true 4wd;you just need to adjust the shift linkage.

 

Essen,By adjusting the shift linkage gives you true 4x4 on your 300 AC?Explain how it does that.I see no signifigance between true 4x4 and adjusting ones shift linkage.Though I will admit im no expert on AC quads,I'd like to know how that is done,thanks,Bill

Bill, I believe the Arctic Cat 300 4X4 has the identical front end of the King Quad; however, for product liability concerns, I suppose, Arctic Cat does NOT supply the linkage enabling front differential locking.

Thus, I would change "essen's" statement, substituting the word "modify" where "adjust" is used.

Whoops! I see essen discloses the modification procedure in the following post! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience, essen!
