I am in the market for a mid-sized sport-utility. I ride with guys with sport bikes (warriors, 400ex, so I need something with decent acceleration for a 4x4. I also want a durable quad thats not gonna be high maintenance. I've looked at practically every quad on the market and I've narrowed it to the Eiger and the new Rancher AT. The Honda seems a little more utility than sport. I could use some advice from some more experienced riders. What are the pros/cons of these bikes. Thanks.

 

I dont like the idea of the new rancher AT. To much stuff to break if you ask me, and if one thing in the tranny goes then its a whole new tranny, no replacing parts. And from what My dealer told me it feels like the old rancher because of the new tranny, the 50cc's just helped make up for the power the tranny was going to eat.

 

I can't speak on the Rancher, but my Eiger has been trouble free. I've never even changed the spark plug. It has good speed for a utility. Mine will register 56mph with 26" spider tracs. Good luck with your purchase.
