I noticed someone mentioning that the 2 wheel drive option is nice when you want to play around by kicking the a$$ end out sideways when you make a turn. This was a big concern of mine too before I bought my bike. All i had before was 3 wheelers, and I LOVE going all snakey around a turn. I was really hesitant to buy a 4X4 for this reason alone. When I saw my Wolverine, I fell in love with it and had to have it. I couldn't have made a better choice. I love everything about it, and when I go around a turn, I can make the bike do whatever I want it to.... include skid sideways. The wolverine is so light weight, that you can make it do anything, just by throwing your weight around.... and I'm only 180 lbs. I can do doughnuts, drive on 2 wheels in circles, and pull wheelies... everything that can be done on a 2 wheel drive, plus not having an electronic 4 wheel drive locker, means having one less thing to break.

 

The kodiacs advantage over the polaris in my opinion is the true engine braking. This is invaluable going down hills and to save your brakes. In and out of 4x4 is a nice feature too. I like mine...

 

Derekjess,

I couldn't say it better! Amen!

 

Get the Kodiak. i have a 00 kodiak and its awesome. The wolverines lack power to turn mud tires in the mud, in fact i have 26inch vampires and i was able to spin them in low gear pulling out a wolverine. Plus you cant whip around corners in a wolverine becuz of full time 4x4. I love my kodiak!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
