I was just wondering how fast the rubicon is and also wondering would 27" tires slow it down much.replys would be greatly appreciated b/c i am tinking of making a purchase
thanks

 

My rubicon went 57 one time, now since it blows out white smoke and cant turn without making noises it goes around 52. I am not meaning to diss the Rubicon or anything but I would really go with the Grizz or Prairie for the more power than a Rubicon can deliever.

 

not sure if the 27's will slow you down, probally so though

 

Larger tires will actually add to your top end speed a little. They aren't designed for speed though. They are made to provide more ground clearance. They also take away from your low end power. You may have to add some performance parts to make up the difference in power.

 

They will only add to your top speed if you have the power to pull the higher gear ratio. I'm not saying if the Rubicon does or does not, because I don't know, I'm just saying that you shouldn't assume adding larger tires will always increase your top speed.

 

i think you guy's miss the point lol there utilty i do aimt tho haveing a slow quad sux i remember my frist quad an 88 4trx300 4wd and i always rode with an lt250r and a bunch of dirt bikes we made road trips offen to get to places to ride and i kept getting lost because as soon as we hit the road they were gone and i could open it open for a few sec at a time and maybe do close to 40 lol it was depressing

 

I have no idea what he just said.

 

why did you open it up for only a few seconds at a time, it is a honda hold it to the bar or close to it.

 

i run 27" titans, no difference to me buddy!

 

If your worried about sport performance I would steer away from the Rubicon. I owned one for 5 months and was terrible disappointed. I went from riding a 250r and a banshee for years to a Rubicon. To much of a change to me, the worst thing about it is it's full time 4wd system. I just couldn't get used to that type of driving. I purchased a Prairie 650 8 months ago and I love it! It flies and jumps really well, haven't been able to get the belt wet yet. Have had water and mud over the racks before. Hope you like what you get. Have a great day.
