I know this has probably been asked before, but I’m going to ask again (since I can’t find it in a search).

What is the difference between the Honda Trax Loc System and the Polaris 4x4 System? Are they similar?
Is one better than the other?
Is the Honda Trax Loc System a TRUE 4x4 System (no limited-slip)?

Info on this is GREATLY NEEDED and appreciated.

Honda's Trax-Loc is just a name for their 2/4wd switch and engagement system. They use a limited slip diff in the front of their bikes.

 

the polaris is in 2wd even when you put the switch in 4wd untill the back tires turn 20% faster than the fronts. also a limited slip IS a true 4wd

 

They have pretty much covered it.

The only thing the honda bikes dont have is a differential lock. Polaris doesnt have this either, but perhaps in their diluted theory...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

This diff lock is what is sometimes referred to as "true" 4wd.

 

Sorry, I was thinking of the Visco-Lok, in the Bombardier, being the same as the Trax Loc. My mistake. Or maybe just wishful thinking(?)[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

 

Honda uses a Torsen diff.What's the diffs?

The Torsen directs power to the tire with the most traction instead of the least traction.
