Ouch, Spectra wins 1 to nothing!

About the 600lbs thing, you were right it is a government law that they have to be 600 lbs dry or less. Same kind of law that states a stock sport quad can't go over 70-75 (something like that).

I too hate the feeling of a sportsman. I also hate the boring "vroooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom" no shifting of a belt. I like how mine goes vroom and has a nice firm crisp shift into the next gear. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] Some may not agree, but I hate belts. End of story. There is no way your going to make me believe that a belt tranny keeps the engine in it's powerband the whole time. That would mean that seperate engines trannys would keep them in different RPMs. Which they dont. All Polaris's are in about the same RPM all the time, even though they produce max power at different RPMS.
Such as the 700 I hear makes max around 5500 RPM, it doesn't even touch those RPMs in high. And if it did, the engine wouldn't last long in those Rs for a long period of riding.

 

P O S= Piece Of S#*!

Never heard of POS being the abreviation for Polaris. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

No, I believe I do know a little something about the CVT. In high range, it keeps the engine in the same rpms all the time. Correct? Don't give me one big long *** description just tell me if I am right or wrong. And if it does keep it in the same RPMs, that may or may NOT be in the max power range. If the max power is up at 5000+ RPMs and the tranny was running the engine in the max power range (5000+) the engine would not last long. So you better find a better way of telling me how great the CVT is, because saying that it gives the best engine performance I won't believe til I have some proof.

And the tranny keeps the engine in the RPMs for your riding style? I don't think so. I have ridden these thing, they stay in the same RPM range the whole time.

 

Yeah, but if your trucks battery goes dead, your usually not miles away from civilization. On a quad, you could be 15 miles or 40 miles from the nearest place of help.

And the Rincon is not made to mud bog, which is stupid, so you don't need to try and compare it to the other utes that are for mud. Apples to oranges.

 

The only engines that last at very high RPMs for a long amount of time are the ones BUILT for that, that's all I'm saying.

I already know what the inside of my Rincon looks like, I have a picture of an engine cutaway on my computer now. I know what the CVT looks like also.

About the trucks and cars, 99.9% of the time it is on the road. That's what they are for...transportation. Unless you are somebody who has alot of area to take your truck offroad then you could be far away from anyone, but a truck has alot of room to carry things so it's very easy to carry a battery pack to recharge just incase. The twin motors can't be pull started, no big deal. but if you ever ride by yourself and the electrical fails your screwed unless you have a battery pack.

I know the Rincons can mud, and lot's of peope do mud Rincons. But, they are geared too high to be spinning huge tires in deep thick gooey mud, I will be the first to admit that. Like I said, they weren't designed and build to mud. Say what you want, but they just weren't. If you want to mud one, by all means do it! Do what you like. I will stick to the trails because that's what it was intended for and that's what it performs at best, that's why I got it. That's all I have to say.

 

Oh yeah, wanted to ask you something I thought that you would know this. What gear ratio does the Polaris CVT start off in, in high range? Just curious.
