I saw your same thread in the honda forum most of them say to get the rincon, all the arcticcat people say to get the A/C talk about a

failure to comprimise lol. I would say go the A/C great low end, great power, best ground clearence, huge gas tank, if it great in mud its

great on the trail. I read from ATv manufactures evaluaters that honda are good machines but are over rated.

 

I own both of these particular ATV's and they both have pro's and con's just like any other ATV. The Rincon has a much smoother ride and a little better feel to the ride. That's about all it's got on the Big Cat. My AC will blow straight through mudpits where the Honda fights to make it. The EBS on the AC is 100% better than the Honda. The honda does not even begin to slow itself down when downhilling on steep hills. Though the motor has the power to pull, it lacks the gearing. Anything I have tried to pull with my AC i have done it, including my 16 ft. car trailer with a '71 Chevelle on it. On serious hillclimbs the AC almost feels bolted to the ground, and in low range if you are thinking about it, you can just give it a little gas and crawl your way right up. The rincon lacks that luxory. The AC is all around a more utility minded vehicle with the intention of a great trails bike, which it is. Setup the right way the AC is untouchable in the mud. The rincon is basically a trail use bike only. From experience, the only thing that puts it in the classification of "utility" is the front and rear racks. The trailer hitch is optional, whats that tell ya.
