Does anyone know the top speed for a 4manES, I cant get mine over 47 on the Speed O. and mine is bone stock.

 

That sounds about right the Rancher does 50mph and they say it's faster than a Foreman.

 

I can't comment on the the 450 but Tim1, is correct the top speed of the Rancher is 50-51mph.

 

I have a 99' 450es, I have seen 50 mph a few times.

 

Hi there, I have a 450ES and mine will only do about 47MPH with me tucked in under the handle bars. That is fast enough especially when you start to hit some bumps and ruts. I have about 150 miles on mine.

 

I have a '00 Foreman ES and it will show me 50 anytime ..... 51 or 52 if the conditions are right and I hold it long enough. I am 6' 1" and I weigh 185. And yes I am tucked when I try this.

I have a '00 Foreman ES and I have hit 54 mph on darn flat ground, I don't know for sure if it was 100% percent level but it was close. And I have hit 52 mph multiple times on ground I know is flat, and level. I'm 5'11 and 155 lbs. I've heard top speeds for ES's go anywhere from 47-54. Also, I've never heard that the Ranchers are actually faster, I know that the Rancher and Foreman go pretty much the same speed on average. Not every quad has the same power or top end as the next though. So I can't deny that there are Ranchers that will go faster than some Foremans, and some Foremans that will go faster than some Ranchers, and some that go the same speed.

I have both and on top end, on flat ground, the Rancher is usually a tad faster. Going through the gears is a different story. The Foreman will spank the Rancher every time (much to my son's chagrin ... and he is looking over my shoulder as I type this).

If you want to try something interesting with your Foreman .... go for top speed with regular gas and then try the same thing with a tank full of supreme. It makes 1 - 2 kph difference on my bike.
