According to the new issue of 4-Wheel ATV Action, its selectable 2WD/4WD, double A-arm front suspension, liquid cooled, foot shift, and independant rear suspension. It probably has the Raptor's 660 4-stroke, and, judging by the pictures, it looks to be a rather sporty machine, but it also has racks. The name is unclear as of yet... perhaps its the new Wolverine, perhaps its the new Grizzly, or maybe its an entirely new quad altogether.

Guess we'll just have to wait and see...

According to my dealer it is the new Grizzly and it uses the raptor motor. He said he thought it would be tuned differently (more low end torque). That's all I heard.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

The New Grizzlorine!!!!

All of the benefits of the H.O. but weighing 100 lbs less [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

i hope they spend some time improving there brakes if it is a new grizzly disc brakes all the way around would be a good start that rear drum is a pain in the $&% at least with disc you can change your pad's in no time with very few tool's.that's my two cent's
99 grizzly
02 viper

I thought the new grizz was a 660 v twin. IRS and a liquid cooled. True locking diff.
