The KQ has performed flawlessly. We had to postpone the Tellico trip until Nov. We did go to Brown Mt, though. I posted that in Where To Ride. There is one semi-technical rock climbing section at B.Mt. where I locked it in. It climbed like a champ. I had no problems going where the 'big boys' went. Also, I have found that some obstacles I can approach locked and crawl right over them, instead of having to come at them fast and bounce the front end over. The only drawback I have found is not being able to switch from 4wd to 2wd seamlessly. But overall I am very pleased. I am now winch equipped and ready to tackle Tellico!

 

Very Good Choice! From all the articles I've read either the King Quad or the AC 300 are the best in the 300 class and the fact my Buddy bought one, I know first hand what it can and can't do (we put on many miles together). I have a Honda 450ES and there isn't much I can do that the King Quad can't. The only real draw back I found was the real short wheel base compared to the Honda's, but that's me. It's a great machine and I'm sure you'll have loads of fun with it.

I can't wait to throw a leg over that new Honda Rancher 4x4 (non-ES). I learned to ride 4x4 on a Honda TRX300FW and from all that I've read and heard, this new machine betters the old Class Champion in every way. Does anyone know when they are supposed to reach the dealerships???

 

AlaskaTRX,

I'm hearing Nov from my local dealer for the Rancher.... But then again - he barely knew what a Rubicon was and didn't know how it differed from the regular Foremans.

Happy Trails
