Default wolverine or KFX 700?

I've been ridin a 250 ex for way too long. I need more power and ability. the kfx was my first choice but the wolverine seems like it may be the better choice for me. I ride trails that are rocky and technical, like climbing hills, and run in a riverbed that is like beach sand for miles with whoops and drop offs. Speed is important, but its not the only requirement that I have. Slow trails with hills, mud, water, sand and some nice straights is what I have local here in florida, but I go to tellico several times a year to ride. What do you guys think? If I get the wolverine it will get the warn 424 kit for sure, how difficult is the kit to install?

needaride where in florida are you riding? i live in jacksonville, mainly ride in ocala. i own a wolverine
with some mods next is the warn 424 the bank account is right! i love it ive got 25'' tires on it that came
off of my buddies brand new brute force. havent had a chance to test in the mud but they should help
out big time, i used to bottom out on the ruts that my buddies with there 700s ill find out soon, hopefully
also another one of my buddies has the kfx 700 he loves it and man is it fast, but it doesnt do so well
in higher water, found that out the hard way, but hes had it in some deep water. either way if you want
4 wheel drive go with the wolverine, speed go with the v force

I ride with a friend who has a carbon fiber 700 and it is sweet looking. It also has gobs of power, but there is one problem he has trouble with the hard terrain. A few months ago he flipped it on a hill tearing up that pretty plastic and I had to pull him up with my Wolverine. You DO NOT want to flip that heavy machine over on you, he will vouch for that. If I was going to get a 2wd I would get one that is light and nimble so I can command it with my body english not it commanding me! They are very powerful and would be great in some terrain, but when it gets rough I would not want one. I ride in Jellico TN and if Tellico is anything like it I would go with a 4wd or a light sport bike. Good luck deciding!

My buddy has a V-force, it dumps up hills, mud, water like no other sport quad, its very versitle. Every time you get off of it you will have a big grin on your face.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Get the wolverine, you will love it. Unless you plan on going 60 plus all the time get it. I love mine and can ride with anyone.
