They actually aren't my tires. That's my friend Larry. They are Bear Claws..27" I think. I have ITP 589's and although I haven't driven Larry's Quad...he has driven mine and says his are smoother than mine for trail riding.

We have some guys with Mudlites...(they look very similar to the Bear Claws). I'd say they are both a good compromise of traction vs. Smoothness.

The 589's are heavy and rough....but they bite better than the Mudlites/Bear Claws on rocks/mud. I kept my Goodyears for pure trail riding.

Hope that helps.

 

KingQuad 700 or Brute Force?

 

I want to see some real reviews of both machines. Nobody's even ridden the King Quad for all I know. And the only Brute Force reviews out there are based on a few hours of riding at a Kawasaki demo. Give me some real impressions after days in the saddle on tons of different terrrain and conditions. Me? As long as the reviews don't say that it blows, I'm most likely going for the BF. I was thinking of getting a P700 but after another weekend of getting my azz beat up on a borrowed SRA bike, I'm looking for the comfort of IRS. Gotta love the V-Twin. I'll be buying in mid-August so I'm hoping that the BF will be readily available by then. (A local dealer says it will.) I have not heard of a release date yet for the King Quad, so who knows. I know that I won't have the patience to wait until September to buy. It's been a long summer. I was bit by the "bug" in March but haven't been able to lay out the money for an ATV while my house is being built. It's kind of a blessing though. I would have bought a P700 instead of the Brute if I could have bought 4 months ago.

 

I ride in the rough stuff myself and my want to go IRS. Right now I ride a Vinson which has a SRA and it does great. The best thing about it is it's very sporty and I love to slide around corners.

I think I going to go with the Kingquad though just because it looks like it has all the best parts from all the other monster quads. I love the looks of it too. Don't get me wrong the BF looks good to and has 50cc more but the KQ looks to have the better package.

I'm sure both are awesome and are going to kick all the other UTEs behind. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

 

I'm going to be buying hopefully in October or November and the new Kawasaki Brute Force looks to be right at the top of the list for me. Probably end up with the Kawasaki or a grizz. Maybe a big bore Arctic Cat but that new Kaw with IRS and a huge freakin' motor looks to be everything I was looking for in the AC.

 

The Brute Force is mine as soon as it hits the dealers. Looks to be the total package!!

 

The reason I think I'm going with the KingQuad is because it's a few hundred cheaper and has EFI.

 

quest 650 . the only way to go!

 

Straight axl. So...no..it's NOT the "only way to go."

Jeesh.

 

My only concern about the KQ700 for me is that I ride in deep mud and deep water. My concerns may be ignorant, but what if water gets in the fuel injection system? Can you drain and go like you can with carbs?

My wife needs one, so I think I'll get her a KQ700 and not have to debate and fuss over which one is better.
