As a Rancher owner i was wondering if anybody has compared these two machines head to head? Turning,ride,acceleration,top speed etc.

 

Ask Gabby, he/she seems to be the only one with both to compare them head to head.

 

I find when hill climbing with the Rancher I have to gear down in certain situations but with the 450 I just give it more gas .
The gearing of the two bikes is quite different . The Rancher is a more comfortable and easier bike to handle on tight rough trails .
I use the 450 to pull the trail groomer for our winter trails . If I am just going out for a pleasure ride I like to take the Rancher . It is not as hard on the arms and shoulders after a long ride .
By the way you will get 20 km on your reserve tank .
