Without a doubt the Traxter Visco Lock system. I have ridden most brands and nothing is like it. Even Polaris is starting to use it on there RMK Magnum and one of the special work SP's. No bull here, you have 4 wheel engine breaking, very easy steering like a 2wd and it locks the 4 wheels up as soon as you need it. I have a 2000 Grizz which is a very tough machine but nothing like my New 2002 Bombardier Traxter XT, which I have eliminated the step through by getting the special bag. Bombardier is giving a 3 year warranty bumper to bumper whith there machines too. Wow!
Can this thing pull, even in reverse you can change gears and have the front wheels lock right up, and there is no Override to be playing with either.
Anyone looking for the ultimate, reliable 4*4 system, here it is and it has not clutches to worry about.

That sounds pretty cool. Is it fast? Does it handle good? Is it solid? More, more, more!

Sorry guys for putting the question mark there,
well 2fat4moto, its solid alright, can't even rock it off its wheels, and it handles like its on rails. Unreal, I used to have to really lean with my 600 grizzly this thing just sticks to the ground.
Another thing I was really impressed with was the top end. It will do 55mph, faster then a Honda rubicon. The visco lock, really rocks it locks the front end up right away when you need it, hell even Polaris is putting them on there special utility quads like the Magnum RMK, why because you don't have any problems with it. I got the step through bag to eliminate the step through so now I can carry a 12 of beer in the front and a 24 where the step through was.
I pulled a 25ft log that was about 18inches in diameter on the weekend, it pulled it with 100% confidence.
The traxter's big negative though is its weight, but you don't feel it espically since it steers better then my grizzly.
Hope this helps.

Great to see its not a 3-Wheel drive system disguised as a 4-Wheel drive system, like some other HYPED out companys I wont mention.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Whats wrong with a 3 wheele drive system? That is what my KingQuad has. When you are in 4wd (really 3wd) you have a lot better traction and it steers just like it was in real 4wd. For when you need all 4 wheels driving put it in differential lock. That gives you the best 4wd system there is.
