On the grizz, YOU control whether its in 2wd or 3wd or 4wd. Anytime, any where....when you want , and not when wheel spin lets you have it.
The belt drive is the best, at no time does the belt become slack on the pulleys, and that means the only time you use low range...is when you decide you want it. No worrys about smoking a belt.
4wd engine braking, or not, your choice.
Separate brake contols..you choose which brakes, and what bias you want.
True differential in front, and 4wd can be used anytime,... downhill, around corners, on wet grass without chewing it up.
Need anymore reasons than this?

I think he is referring to the 4wd without diff lock.

almost every 4wd you only will have say 3 wheels turning, usually slower than the rear, with diff lock that all changes, and its like a bulldozer. (never mind the low gear)

I wish that you could ride mine. Then there would be no question at all. It is light and agile on the tight trails that I ride and it will rip up a hill with abandon, accelerate the whole way up, and lift off the top. With my mods, it is out standing in all riding conditions. It will wheelie in high gear without any help at all. Sometimes, when I ride my friends trails, it will accerate so hard, that it seems that the rear wheels are gasping for air, trying to grab at anything to launch it forward. It is almost effortless to rip my 26" Dirt Devil XT's loose. You can feel the front getting light as you rip throught the bumps and the tires tear at the ground. I did some specific things to make it corner better. You will want better tires. I run the front suspension at 1 step harder than stock and the rears 2 steps harder. If you do the mods that I did, you will need the rear to be stiffer to alleviate the squating, due to the massive torque. I would air the front stock tires up to 6 psi to keep them from rolling to much on the hard turns. I ran 4 psi in the rears for traction. I really like how easy it is to change simple things to really get it to perform. I am sure that you will not be disapointed.
