Howdy, I am woundering if there are anybody here that has experience with the 450 wolverine. I looking at getting one for my wife. She is currently ridding a 07 700 griz. We ride dunes and the rear independant suspention plays havack with her on side hills and such.
I would like to know any experiences, thoughts, ideas or even problems if they have some.

Thanks

 

Imagine a 450 grizzly with a straight axle. She will bumb right out. compared to her 700. But the lower 450 will be less top heavy.

 

They are fun, my wife rides hers all the time. I even jump on it every once and a while. The have good acceleration but bad top end speed. I have only got it going 55, but in the trails it makes up for it with its acceleration and light weight.

 

55 mph is slow?

 

No it is not slow but compared to other atv's top speeds yes. But the only time you would ever need that top speed is on a road.

 

Thats for sure. Thats our highway speed limites up here in Norther Ontario ,Canada.

 

My brother has one. Their great. He has had it for 3 years and no problems. Im currently working on a rear rack basket style rack setup that is a bolt on and fits 06-10 450 models since no one makes racks for the wolverine 450. Ive only seen the gytr cooler rack and one other style rack for the 450 but thats it.

 

Thanks for your replies, My wife dose'nt ride fast, just steady. She decided to get a 2009 Wolverine 450. There is a rack on ebay i noticed.
