Default 06 Rincon in Dirt Wheels

Well Dirt Wheels had lots of great things to say about the 06 Rinny. The EFI, motor mods, tranny mods, disc brakes finally all around, and minor suspension tweaks all add up to a big improvement. The slow tranny warm up and weak down hill breaking were much improved. Is it just my imagination or is DW really doing a better job of proof reading, seems much better now. I didn't notice any obvious technical errors.
The one thing I just cannot understand is how can this independent rear suspension quad corner so well when shifted out of 4 wheel drive. All we ever seem to read about is how poorly the IRS quads corner and the tendancy to roll over. I don't believe they mentioned side hill stability but I also wonder if the Rinny is any better here than quads like the Grizzly, KQ, or BF.

The Rinny is a very stable quad with a low center of gravity and nice stance.
It goes thru off camber way better than my grizz. (stock tires and wheels on both)
