Im thinking of buying a 500 Rubicon and was wondering if it's suspension is comfortable enough to ride on the trails. Is the Rubicon more of a working machine than a trail machine [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

tazzmania,
I had a Foreman 400 and I upgraded the shocks to Works Performance. When I purchased the Rubicon the ride is so good I cannot imagine needing to upgrade the suspension. I think the Rubicon is a fabulous trail machine. I also like the Rincon, and it has a better ride still, but I like trails with steep descents and the Rubicon is much better suited for those. I highly recommend the Rubicon. In my opinion it is the all around best 4 wheeler made.

The rubicon is a great working quad that does well on the trails but the rincon is a much better trail machine.

The rubicon is a work horse. Spend the extra money and get a rincon. Its a way better trail machine

I have a 03 rubicon and would highly recommend it,also you should get the warn 424 kit for this machine.high lifter is know making disc brake kits for the rubicon a very sweet upgrade.Im definently considering them as well as other mods.not that the rubi needs more power it has power to spare but i just like tweaking things.

Does anybody know what size stock main jet the rubi has? Im upgrading the exhaust and need to up the jet size so it wont lean out.
