The main reason that I went to the Rincon was for comfort. After riding the brick (450) all day at Windrock, I was beat. I knew I wanted something easier on the butt and back and knew I didn't want a belt drive. I looked at a Rubicon and rode one a little. It was very smooth in power delivery, but I really wanted IRS. The engine braking on the Rincon is nothing like the Foreman. It will slow you down to about 8-9 mph. After that, nothing. I just got used to using the brakes more.
The Rincon ride is awesome! I broke my left wrist about a month ago on our last trip to Windrock. I rolled it and bailed off. We got it rolled back over and I rode for 70 more miles one handed! There is no way I could have done that on the old 450.
