Don't know anything about the Eiger so can't help you out there. The dealer told me the Bruin tops out about 45 mph. I wasn't looking to go fast so couldn't tell you for sure. It seems to be a decent quad for the money, I've had mine about 9 mos and have had zero problems. But...... I don't jump it, run it WOT for long periods, or bury it in mudholes. I bought mine for hunting and light farm work, there are probably better quads out there for serious trail riding.

i just got my bruin ive bin on 2 good rides so far and it is great.....u can do some good mudding with it as long as u dont go past the breather for the belt which is right up to the fender your good to go ....u can go through plenty of mud and water.....the only thing is that it lacks bottom end torque...overall it is a great machine

Well utility quads arent meant to go fast anyways if you want to go fast buy a sport atv and i think you picked the best which being the BRUIN it is a great looking atv and all the reviews ive read on the bruin is great .

hope you enjoy your atv and good rideing
to you.

rumor is true due to narrowness, imho it rides like a go cart on donughts. it rides and bucks back and forth, tops out at 52 or so. feels like a wind up toy and the belt drive engages late, or slow responce, this is coming from a vinson.rubi owner but i rode one for 100 miles, and this is my take. they are reliable however.
