According to All-Terrain Vehicles Mag. this is how they rated these quads.

First=4 Second=3 third=2 forth=1 Let the battle begin.

1)Racks-Quest=3 Sp700=4 Griz=1 Kawi=2

2)Ergonomics-Quest=1 Sp700=3 Griz=4 Kawi=2

3)Ground clerance-Quest=1 Sp700=4 Griz=3 Kawi=2

4)Weight wet-Quest=1 Sp700=2 Griz=4 Kawi=3
787lbs 786lbs 640lbs 656lbs

5)Acceleration-Quest=2 Sp700=1 Griz=3 Kawi=4

6)Top speed-Quest=2 Sp700=4 Griz=3 Kawi=1

7)Braking-Quest=4 Sp700=2 Griz=1 Kawi=3

8)Tight woods-Quest=1 Sp700=4 Griz=3 Kawi=2

9)Hill climbing-Quest=2 Sp700=3 Griz=1 Kawi=4

10)Descending-Quest=1 Sp700=2 Griz=4 Kawi=3

11)Fast trails-Quest=1 Sp700=4 Griz=3 Kawi=2

12)Noise,Vibration,Harshness-Quest=1 Sp700=4 Griz=2 Kawi=3

13)Mud&amp;Water-Quest=1 Sp700=4 Griz=3 Kawi=2

14)Utility-Quest=4 Sp700=3 Griz=1 Kawi=2

15)Sport-Quest=1 Sp700=3 Griz=4 Kawi=2

The winner is the Sp700 with 47 points and 7 first place. Second is the Griz at 40 points and 4 first place. Third is the Kawi at 37 points and 2 first place and forth is the Quest at 26 points and 2 first place votes. So according to this Mags. the Sp700 is the best all-around 4x4. Just remember this isn't my thoughts (but I do like the winner) it's the mags and i'm sure there will be some who will disagree with the numbers, but this does show the 700 is for real

Just goes to show all publications are biased toward one manufacture or another.

How did this tank win second in sport and first in tight woods, fast trails, and ground clarence.

I know it, I can't believe the Grizzly beat the Kawi or the Bombardier either....

Not that I am disagreeing with the magazine, or with either you guys, but my thought is that the magazine didn't even have to look at them to make their decision.

Their decision would have been that the Polaris is the winner simply based on the engine size because they want to pressure all the other guys to keep upping the displacement on their machines.
