sxr6....I understand what you are saying, but I think there has to be some way of comparing so that you are not relying on a persons judgment to say that one ATV made it up the hill better than the others.

Have you or anyone else seen the Suspension Video that Arctic Cat has distributed to its dealers??

I beleive that it is the Belgium Road Test, It is by far the best suspension related comparison that I have seen. Even though AC did the comparison, it looked to me like it was done quite fairly. I would recommend stopping by your local AC dealer and checking it out...If they have it.
