I think the biggest question is whether or not the CTE ECU can be plugged right up to the American version.

You dont realize how lucky you are to get the CTE edition. I know the ride is more comfortable, but does it have more power/speed/top end ?? Is there anyway to get the CTE Shocks, or something that improves the ride of the USA Rubicon? And i also heard the only color the CTE comes in, is Red? Anyway, unless Polaris unveils a new true 800, im not thinking twice about getting a 2007 Camo Rubicon. Ive always wanted one, and it'll be very unique having a Camo Honda. So anyway, after coming off of a cushy cadillac suspension of a Sportsman, and remembering how tortureous the Rancher's ride was, im a little concerned. And I HATE THE CTE! I WANT ONE!......

I don't think the CTE has much more power than the U.S version, but I do think it is peppier and has more speed than the 04's and older Canadian versions. In Canada it is available in Red, Green , and Yellow (atleast in 05 those were the colours). It has disitintive red shocks as well, which look pretty sharp. The ride is excellent for an SRA. I beleive it is one of the best all around quads....not the best at any one specific thing, but pretty good at everything. Red Goblin is on to something when he brings up transferring the ECU. Another big difference with the CTE is the fact that Honda "remapped" the tranny for improved response....and this is something that is definately noticeable.

 

raidermike67, what's your point? efficiency? We are not talking about fuel efficiency, but power in vs. power out. Two different and sometimes unrelated subjects.
