any atv mags comparing the two up quads? now with 3 companies making them there should be one somewhere. Or anyone else have any comparisons between the three. im interested in which will be the better trail quad and most rider freindly for my girlfreind to ride with the kid on back. im thinking the outlander may be the one due to it being smaller than the others.

 

well i am byess to the Arctic Cat TRV and this is why, they deal in two sizes 400-500 a great ride with alot of clearance and wheel travel the 500 is bullit proof the engine is time tested and it has the best auto trans in the two up line up, the bomb 800 is a great bike just $$$$$$ and the 400 is slightly underpowered as is the A/C, the pol. is a brand new bike with not alot of bells and whisels not the one i would suggest for the reasons first year and a brand new model the best way to know if you will like one is hard to say alot of things come into consideration.

 

I have an 05 arctic cat 500 manual so I know all about the arctic cats. I like it overall but I feel its to wide so to add lengh to it would make it even harder to negotiate in Michigans tight trails. I wont be ridding the two up for the most part. My Girlfreind will be riding it with the kid on the back so its more important to me for her comfort. She doesnt like to drive my arctic cat because its to big for her. shes only 5'3 and 115lbs so I dont think she will like the TRV though I do. I am thinking the BRP or the Polaris but i am a little skiddish with Polaris on there quailty issues they seem to be having with the 500's. I own two polaris now. I think the 400 brp would have enough power for the women and a kid. thats only a combined weight of 170lbs to 180lbs and I like the fact that its a little sportier and has a better 4wd system than the arctic cat trv (no diff lock). The polaris seems like a nice vehicle but the rear seat isnt as nice and its more of work oreinted atv imo. I am leaning towards the brp but would like to get the 650efi or 800efi so I could have some fun with it to. I havent drivent any of them so its hard to make a real comparison and thats why I was looking for a right up comparison or someone who has ro ridden both.

 

This is just from my short experience riding the 800 max xt and the 650 max xt but I don't think they can be beat in the comfort dept. and the 800 can't be beat in the power dept either.

 

why not just get a rhino or ranger?

 

way to big for michigan trails. Have to under 50inches wide to be considered an atv otherwise there ORV's and not legal on atv trails of michigan. In another words there pointless except on private property. I own a 2005 ranger already.

 

O

That blows
