When I first got my Rincon I was disappointed that it did not have a low range. I still think if it had a low range it would be the best ATV ever. However, the more I ride it the more I like it. It has a ride that you have to experience to believe. It is funner to ride than any other Sport/Utility I have ridden. It doesn't need a low range to go uphills, only for compression coming downhills. What do you think of it?

Saw several on the trail this weekend. I stopped to talk to the riders, and they all said NO ENGINE BRAKING AT VERY LOW SPEED!! There are clutches that provide engine braking, and they just seem to cut out below 8 mph. This is a fatal flaw for the type of riding I do (steep bolder strewn old mountain mining roads). Seems like this bike is made for a cushey ride on the freeway.

Glad to hear you are starting to really like the Rincon!

It took me sometime to really appreciate my Rubicon and I am waiting for Rincon to get to Canada and I was also thinking it would take me a while to get a hang of the RIncon because it is so different then anything else!

Hey Roe, I see that you are in my neck of the woods. Do you ever ride out at maryann plymale (SP?)

A couple of friends of mine ride out there religiously every Saturday night, I am going for the first time this weekend. You oughta meet us out there, I saw my first Rincon today at the dealership and was might impressed. I think that it looks better in person than in the mags. I would love to see your's in action.

Shoot me an email if you wanna.

Yeah, I wanted to go, but can't get away 'til late (around 3-4) and it is an hour drive for me so I will get there after all of the fun. I will keep you in mind and after I get back this weekend, I will let you know the directions. I think it is around Kenova, WV. How far is that away from you?

Every time I see a Rincon I want it more and more. If I wouldnt have just bought a Rancher in March I would definitely buy one or if I could get atleast $5,000 out of my Rancher I would get a Rincon tommorrow. There is a red one at the dealership and as of yesterday it was not sold. I want it so bad. I didnt do my research good enough when I bought the rancher and now I really wish I would have waited.
