Ok guys another ?? or ya'll..I rode some more sport quads and i get to thinking whats gonna be better to have for trail riding..I really dont see my self jumping anything..and playing in the mud sounds kinda fun..I just need some more help i havent rode many atvs and never owned one so..What dose everyone perfer..??

 

Depends on if you want to wonder if every hill you point the front of your quad at "Am i going to make it" or just know your makin it, depends if you like draggin your quad outta the ruts or just makin it or if you wanna go fast or if your just content with getting there.

for trails i really like the Utes. you can carry supplies on the quad vs on your back. but for just rippin around i like my sporties. You kinda gotta have one of each at least other wise you will always want the other [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] then you have one for each of your moods. you could get to mid class quads. like 500cc or less. one a 4x4 and one a sporty. and then you have one of each. or you could get one of the sorta sport ute types. like scrambler or wolverine or you could go all out and get a renegade. but thats huge cash.

 

ya i looked a 660 grizzly with a winch and all its 04 it has crome wheels and new tires and skid plates all the way around they want 4800 for it...I should have rode it and see what i thought..I know i like being in the out doors and want to start hunting more so..

 

I would NEVER have a quad without 4x4. I would have both, but i have to have 4x4 on one. If i can only have one, its going to be a ute 4x4.

 

Ya i am thinking that way my self..I just need to go ride one.. i guess..are the 4x4 easyer to drive??

 

thats pretty much my recomendation aswell. I mean I love my sports but If i have to choose one Id rather not get muddy and cold all winter [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Plus when ur trail riding u dont go to fast anyways..maybe 4wheel would be better for me..

 

I would suggest looking at the wolverine 450 or even an older wolverine 350 to keep price down, they have some racks now for the wolvy 450 to make it a little more utilitarian and plus it is selectable 4x4/2x4
best of both worlds.

 

Ya i thought about those as well..They are nice quads.

 

Here in the arid southwest, a utility is a way lame ride in the open desert. On the other hand, a sport quad isn't the hot ticket in the mountains where it is rocky, there are big stream crossings, and it snows. My solution is to have both sport quads and utes, but my taste in utes is definitely for the smaller, lighter machines.

You are going to have to go out to the trails where you plan to ride and see if you will actually need 4wd, high ground clearance, racks to carry stuff, or big fenders for mud protection. I say absolutely get a sport quad if it will handle your trails....you will just have so much more fun! But if you must have a 4wd, I just got a new Honda Rancher 420 and it is the closest thing to an all-around 4wd machine that I have ever ridden.
