Thought I'd update the comparison.

With the stock tires the Wolverine stays a little closer off the line, but still gets trounced in a drag race. Top end was a suprise though; the top speed is still dead even. I thought it would be slower, but it seems to rev out more with the smaller tires, so teh speed is the same.

In the trails though the Wolverine is very competitive. Roll ons from 3rd gear (on the Wolverine) give the Wolverine a slight advantage, and in the trails the quads are very well matched.

Really it all comes down to do you want to spend the extra money for the creature comforts and extra size of the Rubicon, or if you like the sporty feel, looks and sound of the Wolverine.

I have come to conclusion on this topic,Here it is.
-Overall power defenitly goes to rubicon"Not to brag it is a 500cc vs 350cc"
-low end power=by far the ruby
Mid= the wolf by a hair

Top= So close could go either way.

Mud,hills, traction,snow,the ruby very easly"except for the hills"

Almost every thing else is what ever you prefer

"The wolf on hard pack trail or road,sand hills with a little run and a light person is just plain awsome"the wolf is no bike to sneeze at or it will it you up.
