They would go through anything that any sport quad could with the right tires. You will take half the mud hole with you though, even the full size factory fenders dont stop much of it. I have race cut fronts and rears, they are pretty much just for looks. You might be better of with a utility quad if you must go through mud.

You should pick a quad that suits the type of riding you are going to do most. Then get a second one for other types of riding.

I ride mostly woods and a few hill climbs but wouldn’t mind a quad more suited to mud because in Fl everything turns to mud in the summer. So, I got a Quadracer for now and will trade it for a utility bike after I get my LT500 running and have the best of both worlds.

 

My 500 sucked in the mud

 

My friend has a 500 and he went through the mud just fine. you should have seen the mud fly, it was probably 35 feet up. oh he has mud machines on there. those are some nice tires.

 

I just cant say if quadracers were really meant for mud. They might go through it ok with good tires, but i dont think it's what suzuki had in mind when they built it. It's a twostroke, and even though it's liquid cooled and stuff, it needs air flowing through the radiator at a nice pace to properly cool off. If you are taxing it down in mud, then you are losing forward speed and air isnt flowing THROUGH the radiator. If it doesn't cool properly, you will overheat your engine and screw something up.
Maybe no one reads manuals, but it might be worth looking at because in all the manuals for my bikes (liquid cooled) , it says if I am not moving, air isnt flowing, the enigine is not cooling, and to shut it OFF. Of course, sometimes you can't do this (like waiting to get on a trail, dune, whatever) but it's good to try to follow it when you can.
