Default Sport quads in mud,snow,etc.

I am going to be buying a z400 and I am just wondering how it does in snow and mud. What is it like compared to the 4x4's. Thanks for your input.

well no 2x4 is as good as a 4x4 but I rode my wolverine with my friend on his z400 and I was supprised how well, with stock tires and bike, it went in the wet snow. We were doing powerlines, woods, cornfields, and trails.

I went riding today and I got stuck like 5 times but I eventually got out. It honestly does not go through the snow that well, but it is a sport so I was not suprised. I just caint wait until the summer! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Put Ohtsu Pro Wedge tires on your Z400 and you will go thru as much snow as a 4x4.

My cousin has a Kodiak 450 auto, we had about 6 inches of snow and the ditches were drifted over. I tryed with my 300ex and the front plastic was like a shovel and pulled me under, that Kodiak is an animal it's insane how much snow it will go through like 3ft+ he just stayed on the gas and the tires spun but kept on going it never got stuck. Theirs NO comparison between the twon unless it's short distance where the sport could get the momentum
