How fast is the Rubicon? Will it stay close to a grizzly?

I don't know about a Grizzly, never driven or rode with one. But the Rubicon will smoke the Foreman 450ES.

Most of the time about 54 mph. One time on a gravel road down hill grade I hit 58 mph.

The guy I ride with weighs around 240 pounds. He had the Rubicon up to 56 mph on fire roads. He said there was a little top end left!

The Rubicon will smoke the 450s & he has smoked me on my Rancher.

THe Rubicon is the same speed as a sp500, i think. But with the H.O. sp500 coming out i dont know. They both rev out to about 55-60

If you need to go faster than 55 or so, maybe you should look into sports quad instead of a utility quad.
