Default ATV Horsepower/Torque Specifications

I tried searching the web to find out what horsepower ATV's (specifically the Rincon) have. I did not come across anything that had these specs? I did find a slipon muffler add that stated stock horsepower on the Rincon was 16 and with the slipon it bumped it up to 20. Does this sounds right? Anyone have a site that shows these specs for all or most ATV's?

Thanks.

Though I've not personally tested one, I can almost assuredly tell you a Rincon has much more than 16hp. It's probably closer to 40. Anyone back me up on this?

That was probably the Recon, not the Rincon. Big difference there. About 400cc's to be exact.

(Now let's see how long before the armchair quad jockeys take over this thread with another Praire vs. Grizzly vs. Rincon vs. Polaris debate.)

Here is the website that I saw....

Rincon Slipon Exhaust

I would have to agree that the Rincon has a lot more H.P. than 16, so what am I reading wrong in this picture???

A stock Rincon makes about 36-38hp at the engine. But, it makes at least 25 at the wheels. I have never seen an acurate dyno for the Rincon.

I don't know much about the utility bikes but I would be very supprised if the Rincon only made 16 ponies. Its a 650 right? It has to be more than that

Total BS.

A Rincon makes like 36hp. And a SLIP on will NEVER make 4hp -- not even on my Hayabusa! It takes a full system to do that on a multi-cylinder bike so it damn sure won't on a single...

good point, that is all bs. I wonder sometimes how these manufactures can claim their pipes give you so many extra ponies. if you got 2 more that would be great. Nice thing is, you can actually feel a 2hp gain on a bike or quad where as a car or truck it takes at least 10 in my opinion to feel any kind of difference.
