I have a 05 Brute Force 750i. I'm looking to get a new one here with in a few months. I know it will be a 750 Brute Force or a 700 Grizzly. Which is better? I've done as much research as possable. Both look good. The only thing I don't like is the way my Brute Force and the new Bruth Force's use the little electric motor for the engine breaking system

 

Everyone that has a brute is going to tell you brute..everyone that has a grizzly is going to tell you grizzly.

Ride one of each and decide for yourself.

Both are great machines.

 

yup exactly what wildwest said

 

Once you have had a VTwin, how could you ever even consider a Single?
The powerband is really noticable w/the Brute 750 VTwin vs the Grizz 700.
If you don't like the engine braking system, then remove it.

 

I used to have an '05 Brute Force 750 but I like my 700 Grizzly (with EPS) better. The Brute sounded better and was noticably stronger but the Grizzly is better in every other way (IMO). The Grizzly rides better, steers easier (obviously), has a better 4WD system, has better drive belt reliability, goes farther on a tank of fuel, has a softer seat and seems to be generally more reliable (in my experience with my own machines).

I like the Brute's 4WD lock lever better for on the fly traversing of smaller obstacles, but I like the Grizzly's locker switch for situations where you'd want to be in 4WD lock for a longer period of time.

The newer Brutes are fuel injected and have had suspension improvements which makes it more desirable over the '05 that I had. In the end however you should try them both out and see which one you like the best...
