...well personally...I almost never use the floor lever rear brake on my XP...so not sure.

I can say...that inherently 4 brakes are better than 3 brakes. Especially with an ATV that size and weight. It isn't going to keep me from buying one...just good to know the change from my XP.

So excited to purchase the two Touring XP’s!

My rear foot brake leaver can lock up the rear wheel if pushed hard enough, like most people I just use the hand brake which is set at 60% front and 40% rear. The twin front brakes do most of the stopping. Every ATV I see have and only been a single rear brake even the ATVs with weaker grabbing drum brakes set ups.

Dual rear brakes is just more mechanic than needed,I think. Even Big street bikes have twin disk brakes on the front wheel and only a single on the back wheel.

 

Thanks everyone for your comments! I really appreciate it...and look forward to buying 2ea 2011 Tourings.

The adventures should be a blast! As soon as I purchase...the pics will be posted.

Happy Trails!

Of course...any and all other comments are welcome!
