This is the perfect quad for you! It climbs hills very well, better than my Z400 that I had. Its great for going slow if you want and it can accelerate very fast and pull great wheelies. I love my V and if you get one you would too probably. Its just a little heavy if you need to move it yourself.

Oh yes, in my opinion there is not another 2WD quad out there that offers more hill climbing ability with the ease of what the V-Force can provide. Credit that to gobs of available torque and the excellent auto transmission.

Going down hill (and I’m talking STEEP or other conditions where you want to go really slow) is another story. A manual transmission quad is easier because you can have the transmission locked into the gear of your choice to provide the maximum amount of engine braking possible plus you still have the brakes if you need them, where the V-Force only offers engine braking while the engine is running above idle speed, however it doesn’t take long to learn to finesse the V’s brakes to get the job done.

With all the torque that the V-Force engine has on tap you can chug around slowly when you want to, or you can speed it up (in a hurry) by just applying throttle. Lots of power available, a good auto transmission and a decent handling package right off the show room floor makes the V a barrel of fun even in it’s stock form.

It's absolutely an incredible hill climbing machine. Can you say INSTANT TORQUE whenever you need it?
