The only way you could whoop a can am would be in the woods. Or some place where the terrain limits the speed. Then it just boils down to who is willing to back down first.

For playing around I would take the ex. All the quads with IRS that I have seen are less than impressive in the corners. Yea they are way more comfortable to ride (perfect for old riders). But the ability to slide and do a fast 180 or 360 on a trail that is only 5'-6' is important. Most who ride in the sand prefer a sra.

LOL nice pics. Yea, my ex loves the woods and rocks too. They are quick, lite, good torque. Cant ask for much more than that. BTW ground clearance is way over rated.

Mine sits extra low with the extended arms/axle, actually thought about 19's for the rear, and 20's on the front. Maybe a linkage.

I don't have a problem and the trails i ride are rough as a cob!!

I ride all kinds of trails. Thought about 22's on the rear. Gonna keep the 20's tho. They give me about 4.5" of clearance. So far its been all I have needed. With the trails I ride I would be screwed with 19's.
You running +2 all around? Iam not sold on the linkage. From what I understand if you run the linkage the rear shock needs to get rebuilt inorder for it to be effective and the linkage hangs down lower than the stock linkage. So you have to cut up your swing arm skid leaving the linkage exposed.
