Take a little poll. I have to go with the Suzuki Eiger 400 because thats what I have and I don't see how it could get much better, for a 400.

 

Hard to argue when your right. Its too bad the rest of the world dosen't figure it out. Everytime I go riding with more expensive and or larger cc 4x4's they allways end up being really surprised.

 

I would have to go with the 400 Sportsman more power, more clearence, more towing weight, better ride and true 4x4 not limited slip. My brother-in-law has a 04 eiger and it goes as good as the honda 450 we ride with.

 

Boy, the magazine shootouts don't see it that way, not that I allways agree with the magazines. I think its usually a polaris guy who will boast your opinion, If anything the outlander 400 is the only true 400cc class competition for the Eiger.

Let the arguement begin!

 

id have to go with the outlander too. even tho i dont like the belt drive[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

 

The Outlander is probably the closest thing to the Eiger, but then you have to go back to the price and the Eiger wins that one easily.

 

Suzuki - 3
Polaris - 1
Outlander - 1

Where's the Honda owner's?

 

Outlander, most powerful 400cc on the market. Can even run with most 500cc

 

Outlanders win most shootouts performance wise but the Eiger is a good deal. I always choose overall performance first. My vote Outlander!!!!!!!!!

 

Might as well just skip the Sportsman and go right to the Arctic Cat, more power, more clearence, towing weight is the same, true IRS that can be adjusted a lot easier, true 4x4 with diff lock not AWD, and it even has the Eiger engine! Plus, more rack capacity.

So, like the question stated the best UTILITY 400 would be the Arctic Cat! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] The Outlander is one nice machine, however it is no UTILITY. Great trail machine yes, but workhorse no. Those racks are a bad joke.
