The Rubicon is the work quad and the Rancher (350) is one son's quad. I went and got a new Grizzly 700 and am very happy with it. So, now that we need a smaller and lighter utility quad for my younger son, I am torn between the Big Gear 25 and the Recon.

I like like the disc brakes and larger capacities (rack, towing and fuel) of the Big Bear but the electric shift onthe hinda is a plus because it will be easier for him to assymilate to his big brother's Rancher when he moves up.

I seek thoughts and comments from those who own or are familar with either of these machines. Thanks in advance.

 

both mechines will last forever, and are verry good. the capacitys the manufacturers suggest is rubbish, you can haul anything you can fit on the racks, and toe alot more than suggested. if the es is going to be a plus i would say just get the es recon.
