You made a great disision.

The traxter is the toughest built bike out there and is the best sidehiller and cornering atv i ever rode. Have fun.

I thought my 500i was fat, I won't be buying a bomb because of the weight. I'm just sick and tired of heavy 4x4s.

You really dont feel the weight. And who cares about the weight. Who the hell is going to lift a atv anyways.

When your flying through the mud and you quad weighs 150 lbs more you feel it, I watch my friends Rancher go places and he doesn't sink nearly as bad as my 500i. Heavy quads are such a pain in the ***. I guess my Z has spoiled me to much, because it only weights 373 lbs, about half the weight of the Quest.

One magazine had a mud pit that they made and the object wasnt to get to the other side it was to see how far you could go.

The traxtor was the only ATV to cross it during its first test. However in later test the polaris 700 made it across but mostly do the the fact it had the goodyear tires on.

Weight is also an asset in snow.

Just look at the Hummer, thats as heavy as they come.

When you put taller tires on a traxter to get some more ground clearance under the axle there is no place it cant go.

And as mentioned before. Try to find a atv that will side hill or turn like a traxtor. Its got the lowest center of gravity and its the widest. Dont knock it till you tried it. I did and i loved it. But i got a quest 650 instead.
