I noticed the forum is a bit slow today, and I figure sooner or later, I'm going to have to line up with one of my buddie's atv, out on the trail, and I thought I'd ask how the sport/utility Rancher 420 was holding up against the competition so I know what to expect.

Curious notes of; ...Did you have 2/4 wheel version...Were you/they in 4 wheel drive.... From a stand still, ....terrain....distance...stock....Tire/wheels setups... and other helpful info

 

Ive raced it against another Rancher 420, my buddy's Can-Am Outlander 400, and a King Quad I lost big time lol, The Can-AM was a tie or whoever gets off the line first won, and same for the other Rancher 420 all in 2x4 not 4x4.

 

Ive raced mine against a 01 foreman 450 es, rancher 400, and a rancher 350 es. I totally smoked all three. The foreman almost hangs with me at first but falls on its face by 3rd or 4th gear. And the rancher 350 got a head start on me and by 3rd gear i was caught up and a little in front, shifted to fourth and blew him off the road. Also raced a 03 crf 230. Wasnt much of a race since he can do like 80 and i top out at like 57. I did keep up at first take off but by the time he got to 3rd or 4th he was gone leaving me in the dust. Im very pleased with my 420. Especially its low end power and throttle response.

 

raced a 350 es rancher smoked him raced both the grizzly 450 and the kodiak 450 hang with them for a bit then they catch me, also raced a new 420at and got smoked the thing just shifts so dang fast its crazy. All in 4wd so no spinnnage on the gravel.
