I need a 300 - 450 utility quad and I dont really want automatic. Would prefer push button 4x4 but all time would work. I would go for the Wolverine if they still made it in the utility form.
So please name some quads in this class and there top speeds. Thank you.

 

my buddy and I were giong about 60mph down a road on level ground...but mine is a little beefed up he was on a forman 500

 

My 05 Rancher 4X4 MS would do 54mph. That bike cost me $5400.

If you are loking for more speed get a big bore. You can get BF650 SRA like myne in my sig for $6300. That is with the tires and 4yr warranty. The extra $900 is well worth it. The locker, smooth ride, and raw power is the reason for my upgrade. BF650 w/ 26" Mud-Lites will do 68mph.

 

The BRP Outlander 400 is generally considered the fastest utility under 500cc. I base this on what I have read on this forum and various others...

 

400 Can-Am(BRP) Outlander for sure.

 

Yep, the OL400 is the fastest utility quad under 500cc. Faster than some 500cc quads! I seen one blow by a rubicon 500.

 

I watched a paid for infomercial produced and paid for by BRP promoting their Outlander linup.

They raced the 800 against everything and it won everthing, including a straight up drag race and a sled pull.

When they tested the 400 Outty it did not win against the Kodiak 450 in the sled pull. I don't remember seeing them in a drag race but I would assume if the Kodiak out pulled it in the weighted sled pull then it stands to reason the Kodiak would spank it in the drag race too, perhaps that is why they failed to show a drag race for middle weight utility quads.



edit: Oh ya, the Honda couldn't even get the sled to move! Just sat there and burned the oil in it's auto tranny, it went forward all of about 2 inches then just revved and didn't go anywhere...lol

 

Outlanders are geared high. I did a 6 hours ride comparison with an OL800 and a sp800. At various speeds the sp800 would always tach 3-500rpms more than the OL at the exact same speed. This explains why the OL of any cc usually doesn't win at the pulls. I also witnessed a drag race which involved an OL400 and an kodiak 450, along with some others. The OL400 blast past the kodiak 450 from the word go. The rotax engines are unmatched in the hp world. The OL400 will outrun any 400, 450, and some 500cc utility quads.

 

Also, the OL650 is the second fastest production utility quad on the market today. Only thing faster is the OL800. That's right! The OL650 will outrun a BF750, SP800, and KQ700.

 

Ok makes since to me then, perhaps I missed the drag competition on the infomercial?


Seems to me pulling things would be important but this guy who started this thread asked what was the fastest and didn't seem concerned with other topics so I'll have to rest on this one, I don't know what is the fastest in a straight up drag race but I would take your word that the Outty 400 is.
