is a 2 wd. utility atv worth wile?

 

in my opinion Hell Yes!!
you get the added luxury of racks and low end power with all of the added agility. They can do more work than a sport quad and can fly through the trails faster than a big 4x4. as far as mud if you have a good set of tires in the rear and are a decent driver you can get through some pretty nasty stuff.

i still prefer the sport quads though, gotta have the speed!!

 

I got a recon and i got through more **** than a 450 foreman 4wd.

 

My primary requirement for a utility is HIGH GROUND CLEARANCE. The 4X4 is nice, but out here we don't have the mud and snow like the rest of the country, so most of the time a 4X4 is overkill. Here in the desert your best tactic is to use MOMENTUM, rather than grappling for traction. The 2X4's are a kick to ride!! They are fairly sporty, and you can slide them around like a sport bike. For me, the 2X4 is the best of both (sport and utility) worlds.

 

Canadianmudrunner....i think the recon is a great fun machine, but please explain to me how you got through more **** than a 450 Foreman 4x4

 

Agree with YZ, If you'll need it it's worth it. Do you ride in muddy areas?

 

Ok you want to hear it I will tell you.We have made a trail through thte deepest muddiest **** possible.I have bearclaws and a 2wd. he has dunlops.I went through first slipping a lot and nearly getting stuck>but my 2wd kept going.He tried and where I almost got stuck he did.The bike stopped completely.Dont know what haPPENED BUT IT DID.He had to winch himself through it.Call me what you want but that is what happened.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

 

I'm not calling you anything...i simply asked how it happened that's all...and you've given me an answer....thank you.

 

Ok I thought that you were trying to be smat.Sorry.

 

No i wasn't trying to be smart....you said that you have 2WD with bearclaws, and the 450 has dunlops....it makes perfect sense now...my bike has dunlops and i swear i can get stuck on a snot with those things.
