It may not be true duals (Y at the header) but thats like saying adding an aftermarket silencer that flows freer has no effect.
The 80 cc referance was from the 683cc SP700, approx. 80cc's.
The suspention is preload adjustable like most, but more travel than most.

In the Texmuddsub pictures you can see the sp700 waiting at the end of the mud bog for the cat. And even pulled him out at one point.
Either way both are awsome mudders.

hey weez sorry to go off topic but I want a set of 589 and I see you have the 27inch, are the 27 over all better than the 26inches? I cant decide between the sizes!? I will be doing lots of trail and also some mud, and a little of every thing else. Thanks.

I agree, if you have one of the high ground clearance IRS machines its mostly about the rider, we all get stuck if you attempt the crazy sheet. Large mud tires help!

Any given time, any quad could get stuck and another make it through. And they could turn around the exact opposite would happen.

I would have to say that the Polaris would be easier to steer through the mud than anything else. They do have that going for them in 4wd.

traction, clearance, & power. all you need

i would have to say arc that if i had to do it over again i would most deffinately go with the 27's again you lose a lil power in high range but in low range you get in the most nasty stuff and you can clean those tires like nothing and about polaris being able to steer better in the mud yes out of the mud polaris does but if i don't have mine locked in with the limited slip 4x4 is easier to maneuver around the technical stuff but if i just wanna put an atv in 4x4 and go the polaris 4x4 is 100 times better then limited slip but diff lock has saved my butt alot this summer [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

... .. . .. . . . . . .

These are periods. They separate sentences.

Not really completely trying to sound like a smart ***, but I had to read that thing like 5 times to totally understand it. Pretty valid points after I figured it out.
