What is the top speed? Are they fast? Will they keep up to a Grizzly?

In a drag race, no they will not keep up with a grizzly. I own the wolverine 450, and did own a grizzly at one time. The wolverine handles better, and is more nimble in the woods. But really comparing these two machines is apples and oranges. But speed wise, the wolverine falls somewhere in the middle between a Kodiak 450 and a Griz. I always thought the grizzly was a sleeper. It doesnt really look like it would be 'that' fast, but if you havent ridden one, you will be amazed. They will fly!

Oh and for top speed, I really don't get mine up to top speed hardly ever.. I mostly trail ride in the 5-25mph range. But, I have had it on some straight aways, I don't know if I was really at TOP speed, but I have had it in the 45-47mph range. I would bet top speed would be around 50 give or take a couple (with a clean tranny).

I have had mine up to 52. I'm looking forward to aftermarket parts coming out. Does anyone know if there is a good clutch kit or pipe out yet? I don't really want a slip-on GYTR, but thats all I've seen so far. Also, I don't know much about the auto transmission clutch kits, so any help is appreciated. Thanks.

So for I'v found that any thing you can do to a 2005 Kodiak 450 you can do to the 06 wolf, that is engine wise
