All that video proves is that the last rider was goofing off instead of really trying to make the hill, and that his quad still had the garbage stock tires on it. It also proved that the Rincon transmission is never in the right gear. And any two wheel drive sport quad in the world should have been able to roost up that hill with no problem. You didn't even need four wheel drive for that little speed bump. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

[edit] One other thing that video proves. It proves that reconranger is right with what he has been saying all along. He has been saying that you always have to wait at the bottom of the hill for the Polaris rider with the CVT transmission to shift his quad into low range. Hahaha. I kill myself.

Not drivers ability but more like "law of Physics", 4wd will have better traction than 3wd evey time.</end quote></div>

And like I said before, with a little squeeze of the front brake when you have a limited slip differential and you get very, very close to the performance of a locked differential. I'm not saying that a locked front diff. isn't important, because it absolutely is. But you have to be pushing the vehicle to its absolute traction limits for it to make or brake getting through an obstacle. The hill in the video was not pushing any of the machines to their traction limits if all things were equal and the machines ridden by the same, experienced rider.
If two guys were riding 2008 Sportsman 800s, one blue, and one red, and the guy on the red one made it up a hill while the guy on the blue one failed, would you make the statement that red Sportsmans are more capable than blue ones?
If I were a betting man, I'd put my money on the Polaris to beat the Honda in a game of follow the leader. But THIS VIDEO STILL DOESN'T MEAN A DAMN THING!
