hi my friend now looking into a king quad or a brute force and he wanted me to post a few questions for him. If u could answer them that would be great. Since the KQ and BF are relentively new there isn't much info on how they preform. any, which quad is better in mud and on techincal slow terrain. which provides and better ride. also my friend wants something that can actually get into to high speed say 50's within a resonable amount of time, so which is more sporty. What are the top speeds. Does the brute force have more power of the king quad because of its diplacement advantage. Also is EFI the way to go or is there no big difference. Which is a better overall value. Any answer would be great, thanx.

 

ok first off get the brute. It is way better in mud, yes it has more power(the king has like 39 horses and the Brute has over 54 horses) it will go 75 and get there pretty quick. now red goblin is qoin to try to turn u to the yellow side but stick with kawasaki green and u will be happy.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

BK - You're going to have to wait a bit to get a real answer. The BF has only been out a few months and the KQ has yet to be sold for the first time. While there has been many reports from BF owners, the only KQ reports are from a few select posters here who have managed to see (or ride) a prototype plus some basic reports from the mags (including ATV connection). Most reports from those who have ridden both seem to give the edge to the KQ - better suspension, equal power and higher top speed. However, it's not known if the prototypes tested will carry over into real production with the same level of performance.

Right now, the big question is WHEN will the KQ hit the market. Dealers are still saying by late September but no-one seems to be really sure. Until then, there is no way to put a stock BF next to a stock KQ to see who really rules.

sorry, i didn;t realize it wasn't at the dealers yet

 

I was wondering if they have different frames? I say yes, my buddy says no, that they share the frame but have diff motors.

The BF and KQ are not products of the Suzi/Kawi alliance - They are totally different designs. Even the wet rear brake on the KQ is not the same as the wet brake on the BF, even though they are similar in design.

I suppose you know that the Brute is Way better in the mud from all YOUR extensive experience with the King Quad??
