my rear end doesnt bounce around a lot at all

 

I think it's in perspective, if you're not use to riding anything else that doesn't then it isn't as obvious. If you on relatively soft smooth terrain it's not a problem, but if it's hard pack rocky trails, it's almost ridiculous. I only run about 4lbs in the rear to help, and it's still pretty rough, if it had a much cushier seat that would be a big help I'm sure. When the temps are well below freezing and the ground is frozen hard, it's always rough, unless it snow covered of course then it isn't so bad. I really want to put a softer set of Carlisle AT489's on because they're available in the original size and are suppose to be a much better shock absorbing tire. Polaris are cushy riding machines and they use that tire on a few machines I think. Trying to wear these out first.

 

well all I know is that its a lot better than my old 250 with shot shocks

(My riding will be on trails and just taking off every where but yet I don't want to worry where I go because I'm going to get stuck or can't handle a hill or can't cross normal creeks. Now I know that a 2x4 isn't going to go in mud pits and stuff but I'm saying normal to a little extreme riding conditions what do you think I'm best with???)

If riding in those conditions a sport quad will do just fine. All I do is ride trails and have rarely got stuck and when I have its easy to get out. Now if you wanting to run off in deep holes then I would go with a 4x4 but I think you will find most people ride there 4x4's in 2wd most of the time.

No XP with the other quads you listed but I would like to have a sporty 4x4 as a 2nd quad but just cant justify the use. The renegade 800 is a beast and very fast, I havent raced one my self but did race a Outy 800 as was very impressed so Im sure the renegade is faster. To me at this point I still prefer a sport quad but my next quad will probally be something like a renegade depending on whats out in 4 or 5 years.

Thanks so much for the input guys... it seriously has made me look at things twice and have a few different options to consider.

 

i got a 400l sport and my friends got a raptor if your lookin to do alot of tricks thats the wheeler that you want. i used to have a 500 scrambler. now that has power written all over it. but i would not get a woverine. they break down so fast its not even funny then wolverines are manly for strait trails

 

what basis do you have for a wolverine breaking down fast? I have over 350 miles on mine and that is through deep water, hard rocks and curves, and I have not had a problem with my wolvy.

 

I have a 2007 wolverine 450 4x4 and love it. I can swing the rear end around with ease. I have not been able to get it stuck and have tried. I very rarely even need the 4x4, but it is there if I need it. The top end speed is around 55 with everything stock. I plan on getting a new exhaust soon.
