Each model is different, Each year is different! Each rider is different.


Place a two 16year old boys on a quad for a few weeks non-stop and it will probable find a weakness. Give that quad to gramps on the farm and it would last forever. Mud, hills. towing, weather, speed, etc etc


Read powersportsnetwork.com each year and model has rider reviews. Then read the year prior and the next year to get an over all for the quad.

 

This is the order I rate ATV's as 1st being the best
#1 Honda
#2 Yamaha
#3 Suzuki
#4 Kawasaki
#5 Arctic Cat
#6 Can Am
#7 Polaris

 

Wow, a lot of different opinions - no surprise there. Like other people have suggested look at what features you want and how you will be using the quad and but what best suits your needs. For me that was Polaris for the ride but each to his own...

 

My rating would be a little different.

#1 - Arctic Cat, Suzuki, Yamaha (Alphabetical order) - (Toss of a coin)
#2 - Polaris
#3 - Honda
#4 - Kawasaki
#5 - Can Am
