Exactly what type of riding will you be doing?

 

hills, and trails and when i come across some big mud, i want the best in performance!

 

I bought a new Rubicon when they first came out and totally disliked everthing about the quad. 8 months later the Prairie's came out and I fell in love. It's like comparing apples and oranges. The worst thing about the Rubicon is you cannot switch between 2wd and 4wd. When your trail riding to me this makes a big difference. The front locker in the Prairie makes a big difference in the mud.
I like the brakes much better on the kawasaki much better too. Dennis
