ATV Magazine did the same shootout with a few more machines. Their different evaluations basically looked like Dirt Wheels with a few variations. They had a more realistic conclusion: the Outlander won easily. If you are going to call it a shootout, go with the real winner. I would be embarassed if I were part of DW. How can a machine win almost everything and get 2nd and a machine win no categories and get first?

 

Yes, these tests are one of the reasons that I'm letting my subscription lapse. Like Bertman, I had a letter published by them. Half of it (granted the derogatory towards them half) was removed even though I used no foul language, just pointed out the facts and they edited me. Nice guys, huh? As they say when you're buying suppositories, with friends like those who needs enemas?

Don't get me wrong the Suzuki Eiger is a great quad, it's just that the Outlander is better. If you want premium features on a quad, you're going to have to pay for it. Nothing comes free in this world.
