Their sport utv is very much like a rzr and their utility based one is much like a Ranger.
Some of the imports are looking way to close to the name brand. Had a guy up here selling a import as a rzr. I actually did not notice until i started looking for badging and it was all gone. I knew the price was to good to be true..LOL

I just saw a 2015CF Moto Z6, which is basically a Rzr 570 clone for sale with 60 miles on it for $6200 on craigslist, heres the ad in fact http://owensboro.craigslist.org/snw/5634867071.html . It clearly looks different than a rzr though and the seller wasn't trying to deceive anyone by lying about it. Its just buying something like this always makes me a little uneasy. The reliability of these is still a bit of an unknown and it will probably take longer to get parts than it would be for an actual rzr if you need them. Though if i see one of them cheap enough, I might be willing to take a chance sometime.

I cant wait to try out the outlander this weekend. If i couldve found more reviews i probably would've went and looked at the ODES but just didnt trust them without other opinions. The 570 seems to have more than enough power to pull me around.

I bought an Odes 800 and love it(paid 7K). I've put 85 hard miles on it and just installed a super atv ez steering system. I've had it just north of 70 MPH and that was plenty fast for my ole @ss.

I looked up ODES and they only show one ATV model and it's a 2-up. It has 26" Wanda tires which I never heard of. I looked at some reviews for them and it sounds like they're good tires at a low price but they're 1" smaller than the advertised diameter. Walmart sells them so you can look at them if you want to. For local dealers they list Family Farm & Home. I never heard of that store but took a quick look. They sell animal feed and lots of other things, but when I searched their site for "atv" they have some accessories but no ATVs.

Thanks for any advice!
i purchased this wheeler brand new. At first it sounded really good and went really fast so my husband and I were rather pleased with it. After a couple times riding trails everything started to break. The gas tank is UNDER the back seat so you have to take the whole seat apart which is a huge inconvenience. After having it a year and a half it had 555 miles on it. The pleas fix part around the gear shifter isn’t secured very well and the throttle cable runs near it... my husband was driving the wheeler when the throttle cable got stuck and he flew into a tree at 42 MPH. This was not a user error- this was because of poor design. Before this happened- we always had issues with the lights shorting out and it would over heat. At 555 miles this wheeler is a complete piece of ****.

I'm sorry to hear about your husband's accident on that POS. That should be a lesson for everyone. Never buy an off-brand ATV at a place that also sells chicken feed.

I bought my 2016 ODES Assailant in late 2016. I only have 300 miles on it but I have had no real issues with it except the skirt should have been made of something a bit more durable. If you hit something with the skirt it will definitely break . It would be a good idea to paint the fender part of the skirt with the rubber paint I see ads on tv for.
It has more than enough power even with two adults on it. I have it for sale but only because I made more money in 2016 than I am making now and need to get out from under the payment and pay taxes. I like it a lot and wish I didn't need to sell it.

Default 16 odes assailant

Wanted to put up my review, might help some one making up there mind. I've owned mine since dec 2016 have 600 miles on it, only trouble I've had has been charging system, brakes. The charging system has never charged over 12.6 volts the whole time I've owned it, I brought that up with the dealer ship I bought it from and was told anything over 12.volts is charging. When riding with the headlights on, the charge light would come on at idle, and when using the winch it will dim the headlights with the bike idled up. I've gone through 1 battery since new because of low charging volts. We bought my son a cf moto 400 in 2018 and it has the same voltage regulator plugs as my odes has, so bought a regulator for a cf moto that cost $100 less then what I can order it from odes for. Odes wouldn't warranty the regulator cause it technically still worked. You will go through a set of brake pads every 150 to 200 miles depending on how hard you ride it.First set of brake pads went down to the metal on me while riding at a off road park. When I installed the replacement brake pads It caused the seal in the caliper to leak, so when I applied the foot brake it would push the brake fluid into the handle bar reservoir and over flow it or when I applied the hand brake it would push the fluid into the foot brake reservoir and over flow it. When it was doing this the brakes didn't work cause of no pressure. I was told that this was not a warranty issue as well cause its a wear out item. I'm still hunting for a single break caliper that fits to replace them with, mean while I removed the dual brake hose from foot break, plugged it with plugs so now I have a separated system. Back breaks work awesome, front are spongy but effective.

If I had it all to do over I would probably still have bought it, I only paid $7650 out the door new for it, they were rolling out the Zues model and wanting to get rid of the assailant base model bikes. I had to get a loan for it so lower selling price sold me because of the higher price of the similar bikes from the name brand dealers. I wouldn't buy a higher price zues because all your getting is the same bike I have with a larger LCD display with nav built in. If you shopped around you could get a outlander 2 seater for about the same price, have name brand backing. I think the odes parts are over priced or similar price as name brand bikes.

Don't get me wrong, I've enjoyed the bike. It runs great, 4x4 works awesome, I had to replace the belt once because the wife tried pulling my son out in reverse, it rides good, handles great, its wheel base makes it well balanced weight distribution. Ill keep it till the motor blows up, I like the double a arm suspension. Mechanically have had no issues with drive train except the brakes. My 2 cents.
