Lets set this up. 6 guys, 6 different machines. Grizz, Ruby, Scrambler, Suzuki 500, polaris 325, Wolverine (Yamaha). All machines 4*4. I own Ruby and Scrambler. We head for old mining district southwest corner of Ut. Ground owned by BLM goes on forever. East coasters dream. Atv heaven. We ride sunup to sundown. Chased wild hoarses. Heard of bull Elk crossed 200 ft. in front of us. Headed for the summit of mountain range(9500 ft.) crossed through 18 inche of snow. Went up and down ground you would not want to hike over. How did the machines hold up???

We had to pull the Wolverine over summit. Not its fault. Just to small of a machine. Scrambler lost its lights. (still have not fixed them)All the other big bores did about the same. As for my new ruby, I felt confident at anything I came across. Just loved the ride. The kid leading us was a factory sponsored racer. You can be sure we were not babied along, keep up or get off the trail was the theme of the day.

Got up Sunday and not one stiff muscle.

CONCLUSION---Get the bike you like. I really doubt you will come up aganist anything that will stop you on any of the major brands. Forgot to mention, saw one other rider that day. You got to love it baby...........
