Actual speeds or what the owners say they do will never concide. Some guys on this forum say their Big Bears do 55 plus but when asked if this was still strapped on the trailer I have not heard yet. Good Luck on getting accurate speeds, oh I have had my Kodiak over 80, but it was still in the back of my truck, so far off it has been about 45. AlaskaBoy.

I've read my speedometer at about 58 or 59 MPH on my ATP in a grassy field. I guess when we're going that fast we don't have time to study the speedo. With only 5 PSI in the tires they tend to grow taller as your speed increases and then they get squirrelly because they're not made for speed.

I have had my Rancher ES at 40 miles a hour but it is new and i am just break it in so i never have used full thottle yet, guys say theres will go about 50 and i tend to think mine will do the same because i had alot of thottle left at 40.

with those low psi tires even going 40 is not a great thing and i doubt i will ever go 50 on the rancher becaue there is no need to do that.
if i want to go 50 i will drive the car or the jimmy.

My Foreman 450ES gave an indicated 50mph, which is more than fast enough for a vehicle with a 50" wheelbase. I did it once just to see how fast it would go, I don't expect to ever see 50mph on it again.

Same here - the only place I could even try top speed on my machines - AC 500i and 350 bear, would be pavement, and the handling of these things on pavement is weird. Steering is way too sensitive, and because most quads are set up for oversteer (so you can slide the rear end easily), making a mistake on pavement tends to carry a harsh penalty. More than one person here in KY has been killed by turning too quick on a country road, overcorrecting, spinning the rear end out, and sliding into oncoming traffic.

My Cat is tolerable at around 50, but anything over 30 on the bear on pavement is downright dangerous. It's just all over the place.

My 400 Arctic Cat has been 300+ mph, but that was in the airplane getting shipped out here... Cat's are not made for speed, but I think it will go about 40-45mph. (I am still breaking it in) My old man has a 2000 Cat 500 4x4 Auto and I got that up to almost 50.
