Thanks, I have heard the Extreme quads are very nicely built units. That should work well for everyone concerned. If you dont mind me asking.....How many quads are being shipped this first time around? Are they thinking it will sell well at $6K?

 

There is 45 pcs coming to JCL i dont know how many Xtreme ordered. They are not real sure just kinda of testing the waters see how they sell at 6 and go from there.

 

I don't know if this is the quad you are talking about. I will try to put the link on here so you can see it.
http://www.4wheelatv.com and search for HYOSUNG TE450 //I have to admit it sounds almost a little impressive.

 

I don't think this is the same quad hotblooded. Follow the other link, second post to see the Arqin offering. I too am interested to see how well these sell at this price point. If dealers have to sell them at MSRP most people would probably opt for a 450R or YFZ I feel.
Both of those quads can be purchased for about 7K OTD if you look for the deals, and dealer/aftermarket support is already very well established. It is interesting to see the imports go after the top tier of sport quads though. I am guessing they think more globally in terms of sales than for the US market.

 

Thanks for the link to the HYOSUNG TE450 hotblooded.

Its review read like I expected it to.


"The thing that makes this machine scary is that the chassis cannot deal with the power."

"The suspension looks like the high-tech shocks youll find on any modern sport 450, but they dont work exceptionally well".

"The TE450 feels like a machine that was rushed onto market without enough R&D."




For 6K it needs to have great suspension.

 

I know its a china quad but that thing looks real nice

 

This JCL 450 is one of the best bikes i have seen come out of china. I rode the one JCL has on there show room floor in Dallas the other weekend when i took it out to Rocky Ridge for the weekend. I was more than inpressed with it! I took it to the drag strip they have out there and was running some guys i had meet out there that where riding big 5 bikes. Pred. 500, TRX450, and Suzuki 450. They where very inpressed with it i was running with them all the way till about 1/2 way through 4th grear then they would pull about half a bike to a full bike on me. im going to change the rear sprocket and go back out there and see what happens. i have a bunch of picutres of me riding it and jumping it.
