Doesn't the 660 have something like 39 hp, and the 700 is 43 hp, or something like that. A Grizzly 660 will do fine on the dunes. It wont win any races, but it will get around just fine, even with the stock tires. Use your head, don't stop half way up a dune and expect to start off again going up the dune. Dont stop in the bottom of a big sand bowl. Speed is your friend. Go have some fun.

SWEET ACTION, Thats cool. I have always wanted to try sand mountain here in little sahara utah. I hope i dont get scared and stop half way up the dune, that would seriously suck.
I think i know why those banshee's and raptors do so well on the sand. Its because they are 300 pounds lighter than me and with sand paddles they literately "skip" across the sand.

A Grizzly will climb sand mountain, I've done it. It takes half a day though. They're not as fast as the sport quads.

i have never been to sand mountain so i dont know how big it is. So how long did it take you?

Sand Mountain is 700 feet high, and reasonably steep as well. Its not as steep as Choke Cherry Hill at St. Anthony's, but it is about 200 feet taller. I didn't time how long it took the Grizzly to climb it, but I'm guessing it would take about two minutes. I did numerous timed runs up the hill with a Kawasaki KFX 700 when I was tuning the clutch for hillshooting, and that quad took about a minute and a half, if memory serves me correctly.
