I was wondering...with all the new (or upgraded) utilty quads out, what truly is the king? Im talking stock vs. stock and not just top end, an all around quad. Between these, which one do you fine people think is the true king? We have Kawasaki Prairie 650, Kawasaki Prairie 700, Arctic 500i, Arctic Cat 650, Polaris Sportsman 600, Polaris Sportsman 700, Suzuki Vinson 500, Yamaha Grizzly 600, Yamaha Grizzly 660, Honda Rincon, Honda Foreman Rubicon, Bombardier Quest 500, Bombardier Quest 650, Bombardier Traxter, adn any other utilty 4x4 500cc and up atv. What is the most realibable, best performing quad out on the market? Thank you too all who respond!

 

THe polaris 700. owns the mud pit.Most likely would win in a pull.As far as drag racing gos no chance of wining that one.I own a 700 so thats my pic... As the song gos {If it hunts if it works if it last for years you can bet your bottom dollor it was made right here}...

 

Thanks for replying! The point of this post is i may be buying a new utilty. I am leaning towards the new Prairie 650 Powered Arctic Cat. When i seen 7 gallons of fuel, irs, 10" of travel all the way around, i almost had a heart attack, but i do not know alot about arctic cat. Are they reliable? Thanks!

 

You may want to take a look at the grizzly, on command 4x4, high and low ranges, reverse.....then again they are a little bit top-heavy.

 

I have an 03 AC 400, the thing is bullet proof, never had a problem, and it's not driven easily. Just browse the AC forum, you'll get a better idea of what people think of them. The new 650 is going to be simply awesome, everything you're looking for, this brute will do it all.

 

Im sorry did you say you wanted the king or queen...

 

.....i dont get it

 

King being the sp700 the queen being well lets say a grizzy...

 

I don't know the king, I guess it would be one of the larger over 600cc quads probably either the prairie 650, the polaris700, and the honda rincon. As for a budget quad with almost as much power and better handling get the suzuki vinson500. I think that will be my new quad next year, maybe. I know for a fact the honda foremans are good quads but they will get stuck in really thick deep mud with the factory tires and without a lift kit.
