Default rhinos are NOT tippy.

ive got 130 hours on mine.ive had it in every situation possible on all types of terrain.the only thing that makes it tippy is the driver.you can tip any atv or ruv .expierience and sensible driving are the key.i got to know this machine quite well.i know and have tested its limits.will i roll it ?probably,i do like to push its limits.but its up to the driver on how agressive he wants to be.more agession increases your rollover chances.but this machine feels very stable to me its offcamber ability is great it is a well balanced machine when compared to my quads.it could use more power but what cant?its a great hillclimber in low gear.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]any ?,s in particular?

I really like ours too. It's a gas hog but it's a lot of fun and goes anywhere I care to go on the hills.

Our old Rhino was not as tippy as the new Grizzly 700 we replaced it with, and the Grizzly 700 is not nearly as tippy as the Grizzly 660 was. Then again, like you guys say, it is all in the driver. Sunday I was playing around on the Grizzly 700 trying to cross a badly washed out section of steep uphill trail with the Grizzly, and I couldn't do it. I tried and tried, and no way could I keep it from coming over backwards coming out of the wash, so I backed out of it. Then my 16 year old son blitzed right through it on a two wheel drive YFZ 450 sport quad [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]. I'm pretty certain the Rhino could have made it through there as well.

Of course it is the driver, but they are a bit tippy if you try and take a corner real fast, but it being narrow is a necessary evil for trail riding it, so it fits in most places and I'll gladly take it. If you drive it like it's supposed to be, and not like a race car[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img], those things will go ANYWHERE. I can't believe how well it climbs hills, I'm very impressed.

My friends leg and the bones that were sticking out of it will tell you they're tippy. But he admits it was his own fault. I'm gettin one within the next 2 weeks or so.

I agree too but I do plan on putting doors or at least a bar across the door openings to keep the legs in. I think that would be a fairly smart thing to do.

I flipped mine. Notice I said "I" flipped it. Stupid people do stupid things. Just a heads up, don't do donuts.
