What defines a sport quad or what characteristics must a sport quad possess?

 

What i'm trying to say is my polaris a sport quad? If not then what category does it fall under?

 

Left hand clutch manual transmission, under 400 pounds, SRA, low center of gravity, etc. It is easier to just look at a "real" sport quad, than to make a long list......

Your machine is more of a hybrid, along with other machines like the Kawi 700. The Yamaha Wolverine is another hybrid, but more extreme seeing it has 4wd. I put the IRS sport quads in a class by themselves as well.

 

chain final drive, double a-arms up front, swing arm at back, torquey engine, no 4x4, small tires, manual tranny, aggressive looks, the works...

 

u have a sport utility thing

 

As far as Polaris goes, it's a sport model for them. But comparing it to 400 models (ltz,trx) and the 450's (ltr,trx, yzf) it's no comparison.

I guess it could be considered the original cross over vehicle.

 

light weight ,no 4x4 ,Manual trany

 

i think what you have is a classified as a sport utility quad

 

....but the manufacturers are calling all the utilities "sport utes" these days....

So mine would be of a dying class of quads- that's disappointing. It seems i have no other quads to compare with. What other hybrids are there that are only two wheel drive? I guess only me and the kawi are in our own classification.
