I own a Grizzly and I have a friend that wants to buy a Rubicon but he is concerned about the noise level. My grizzly is very noisy. Does anyone knows how they compare??? Noise level and overall

I cannot advise compared to a Grizzly. I can only say that the Rubicon is almost wind like (Maybe not) but it's a extreamly quite machine.

My Rubicon is more quiet than my 300. It runs in "whisper mode".

Much, much, much more quieter! And, it's not as loud (see also: redundant)! The Grizz is air-cooled, while the Rubicon is water-cooled, so you don't get the buzzing noise from the fins because of the sound-reducing water jacketing).

the rubicon is the most quiet quad i have ever seen. couldn't tell it was running when i pulled up beside it on my rancher. It is also very powerfull. they guy had mudrenners (i beleive 26's, but i could be wrong) and was pulling wheelies and carring them forever!!!!!

awesome machine!!

The grizz is very loud for a utility I was surprised the first time i heard one I tohught it was an aftermarket pipe, after hearing many they are loud. Hondas in general are quiet. as for these two buy the Ruby.
