Default Worth Upgrading?

I've had Renny 08 for sometime now, and got it for an rare unbeatable price when it had 22 hours on it.*
The 2013 model has been revealed with many upgrades since 2008.*
Is it worth upgrading?*
Do you think there's a huge difference?

Do you have the 500 or the 800 Renegade?

Don't know of too many upgrades for the 500. Exhaust might get you a couple horsepower. May be some clutch upgrades available. Beyond that, I don't know. Anyone?

Will you be upgrading to the 800, 1000, or just another 500? If it's the 500 you will get maybe a couple extra HP in a slightly heavier machine with the G2 frame. The 800 and 1000 would be an upgrade that will outrun any stock utility machine out there and a lot of sport quads. I can't think of too many that will keep up with a 800 Renegade.

Would like more hp on mine, but the new model has it. So would go for a 500.

2013 Can-Am RenegadeŽ 500 ATVs

I,d say no. For some reason your 2008 is lighter and has more ground clearance vs a 2013

Can-Am changed from the original "Spar" frame to a more conventional frame that they are calling the "Generation 2" or "G2". It added a few pounds.
