Hello, I have some questions about the performance of the rhino 450. i know that its not the fastest SXS but is it capable? i want to hear from people that own one or have ridden in one. im considering buying one later this year and i really want to know if it would be worth buying, or should i save up the extra $3000 and suck it up??

 

A lot depends on the type of terrain you'll be riding on. Mud, sand, steep hill climbs, you'll want all the power you can get. For hard-pack, fairly horizontal terrain, the 450 would be plenty.

 

the terrain we ride on mostly is flat consisting of maintained trails, and dirt roads. but there are some pretty good trails that consist of rocky up hill sections some mud but nothing my rancher 420 SRA wont make it through. i am just looking for something a little more comfortable to ride double in. if i do buy the rhino 450 im going to do some mods to it, such as power up jet kit with filter, black rhino perf. clutch kit and maybe the CDI box depending on how the other two mods make the machine go. i realize i wont be bouncing off the rev limiter all that much except on down hills. i just want to know what people think of their rhino 450. i cant believe that only one persone has replied to this. thank you!!

 

If you are going to be riding it for recreation then i would save up money to buy a 660. It has 30%+ more hp than the 450.
