Hey Scramin, I'd be second in line with you for that one. we'd have to figure out a way to strap our hands to the grips so we'd be able to hold on. 90 mph wheelies on a quad would sure be fun though.

They keep making them bigger and soon enough running into a tree won't be a problem. Running over a tree may be the thing of the future.

Its still a locked rear axle, right?

When the suspension compresses in most rear suspensions (except straight axles), the rotation of the a-arms cause the tires to move sideways slightly. This is the tire scrub they are refering to. Since the Bomb has trailing arms, this scrub does not happen. It is not clear that there is any significant benefit because the tires are rotating and there is often much slippage anyway, but its a good marketing point.
I hope this helps you [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Oh yep, I thought it meant the tire scrub where one turns faster than the other, like part time 4wd on pavement.
thanks

I was thinking that that was their plan - release the 760cc 800, get outdone, then release one large enough to be the biggest again. That way, no expensive new designs, just release a bigger bore engine for the same quad. Just imo.
