Has anyone ever seen this ORV that looks similar to the Yamaha Rhino? Here is the web site to check it out.

Why build a 4x4 utility vehicle with no low range? Thats something Honda would do [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]. The four speed manual transmission is interesting, but with no low range, if first gear isn't really low it wouldn't do too well.

 

Specs say that first is very low. It looks like the only real advantage over the Rhino is price. I am unconvinced by any performance advantage as shown in the video - sure looks like the Rhino drivers either wern't the best of drivers or chose to not drive as well.

Yea I though that was interesting too about the 4 manual tranny on an ORV. It does say that it has a "granny" gear, but I don't know if this makes it a 4 speed or 5 speed. Either way, I would think a CVT tranny would be better, but I could be wrong. The price is the major difference with what you get. (Stero, CD player, Full Instrumentation, nice rims and tires, etc). However, quality control and dependability are the main issues as well as warranty.
