The V is geared rather low, and will run anywhere between 73-77 mph in stock trim. These machines are awsome in the trails and sand. They jump good but land hard at times. They aren't the greatest in the whoops, but all around, its a kickass machine.....IMO.

My impression of riding the V-Force is that it is way huge and heavy (a little top heavy too), and best reserved for tall folks that are over 200 lbs. Lots of power everywhere, and the suspension wasn't overly plush.

The thing I dislike the most is that it FREEWHEELS when you let off the accelerator (NO ENGINE BRAKING!), and you depend entirely on your brakes! Ridiculous in my opinion!

The steering on mine is not heavy. To me and others who ride it think it steers fairly easy.
