Go to this link to read the first (I think) online riding review of the Rubicon.

(Why doesn't ATV Connection have a review like this?)

Just read it, they didn't have any details on the engine power or how the tranny really works. They need to add some details on their next article on it.

no kidding that was a terrible review. No talk about how the tranny performed, or how the machine worked in the esp mode. this guy doesn't know s_it about quads.

I was kind of shocked to see that the Rubicon is 81.6" long and a Grizzly is is 81.4"and Sportsman is 85" and the Rubicon is 46.6" wide and a Grizzly is 45.7" and the Sportsman is 46".

yeah it's big, but it still weighs 100 lbs less than the sp500 - which is still a huge weight advantage.

I am going to get red. I would have rather have had a light color, as my tan 300 shows hardly any scratches. I can't see green too well, colorblind.
