My brother is interested in purchasing a Warrior. Big question: will he be able to handle steep inclines and/or snow without losing traction. basically would like to hear the pros and cons of this atv!

 

I have a 98 warrior. I live in Wyoming with snow and mud for 9 months out of the year. This was my first 4wheeler. I've ridden lots of dirt bikes. I've been in some deep snow 4ft or deeper powder, however I have to have the throttle ***** to the walls 30+ miles or better to float through that snow. As for mud the same thing you need some speed to get those rpms going. Hill climbing is good ONLY with speed, don't stop on steep hills you'll be walking it down. I'm looking at gettinga Wolverine, my cousin just bought one and it stays up pretty good with my Warrior, it will go 59 mph vs my 67mph, but damn that's fast in the woods. I'm thinking why not have 4 wheel drive too for the harsher weather. This weekend I stopped my cousins Wolverine on a pretty steep hill, and the started up again with no problem at all (really impressive). Sorry for rambling on.......

 

I live in Northern Maine and i had a yamaha Warrior and then Switched to a Honda 300 4X4. and wish i had kept the Warrior! I added bigger tires for the mud and snow we get up here and I went anywere that my 4X4 went. Warriors are great machines. no matter what time of the year.
