Default buying a 450 wolverine or a scrambler500

mine is 7 yrs old and im still on my original belt... in fact other than normal maintenance - oil, lube, chain tightening I have had no problems other than the rear brake foot pedal stopped working the rear brakes still work using the hand brake lever which brakes all 4 wheels so i havent worried about fixing it lol

yea scramblers are fun as hell they got good power are very quick and are good hill climbers, polaris bikes are tough i dont care what other people say there not junk thats for sure maybe some models have problems but all the ones ive been around were pretty solid bikes, wovly 450s are ok but there pretty small which can make for fun flying through trails but i think there a little underpowered it would be nice if they put the grizzly 550 powerplant in the 450 wovly, it just comes down to the test ride and what you feel is better fit for you, cause honestly you cant make a mistake there both awesome quads.

I'm not going to tell you which one to get. They are both great machines. Anything and everything will break if not take proper care of. I would say sit on them both and see which one is the most comfortable to you or if you are already all set for the woly get it... like i said they are both good machines.

And as far as a more comfortable ride.... i can tell you from all the machines i have ridden.... NOTHING rides like a polaris. My scrammy wasnt my first machine nor was it my last. I had reasons for purchasing each machine i bought. They all fit the niche I was looking for at that time.

Good luck with whatever machine you choose... Oh and welcome to the forums!

Of the last 5 rides I've been on, I had to pull a Scrambler home 4 of them. The Wolverine isn't as fast, but I would bet on the reliability. Maybe look at the Can-Am Renegade 500. My brother in law has one and its the best of both worlds though a bit heavy!
