Not being a brand loyal buyer, I pay attention to the things that will make a difference to my riding style. That being said, I have heard (on many occasion) that the Rincon has a problem with engine braking on steep downhill grades. If you plan on riding in these conditions, this may prove to be a serious issue. As for the grizzley, I have heard that they don't have as much low end grunt as they used to.. read that a couple of times, but not positive on this yet.

I Ride a wolverine which I purchased from a guy that just bought a new Rincon.. I asked how he liked it.. He said and I quote him "Defintately not enough engine braking". Take it for what you will, but that is in relation to a high compression wolverine that he was used to.

You need to take each person's comments with a grain of salt and read read read. Then jump on them at a dealer. Take em for a spin. You'll figure it out.

Good Luck.
