I have narrowed it down to either the Wolverine or the Warrior. I want the versatility of four wheel drive, but I really like to get air.
With the wolverine having 7.1 inches of suspension travel it would seem to be up to the challenge of getting some good air. Is it comparable to other sport quads? Please tell me how well the Wolverine jumps.

Thanks,

Jeff Fox

I ride with a wolv and a warrior, the warrior is a better jumper but the wolv does ok. I want ot say first tha the guy that has the wolv is crazy, but he jumps his alot, I have seen him go 8-9ft vert at about 25-30ft distance, when he lands he lands very very hard, he has bent his bars and pegs when landing more than once, but never broke anything. it is all stock and I think that it is one of the if not the best sport 4x4 you can get, they are alot of fun to ride, slide, and jump (with moderation )

Hope that helped

I jump my wolverine fairly regularly (4-6ft vertical) on table-top jumps and I've had no problems. I think it handles well, but my experience jumping other quads is very limited, so I can't compare it to another.

I jumped Sumthin4nuthin's wolverine at Wolf Pen. I jumped about 7ft vert and 25 distance, and it did bottom out a little, but it was not that noticable. For a 4wd sport utility, it is a pretty good jumper.
