Guys, I just read the latest issue of atv rider. I read the shootout with the Bombardier 650xt, the rinicon, Prarie, Girzzly, and the King Quad. And if you didnt read it then thats the finishing order starting with the Bomb in first. FIRST OF ALL, a girzzly that hasn't had any updates in years beats out a quad that was raved about by every magazine and was somebodys atv of year?!? I mean COME ON! Dont get me wrong, I dont got anything aginst the grizz. Its just that i don't know how it beat the king quad.. Anyway something else that
me off was the fact that these guys dont have a clue on how to evaluate these machines. If you noticed every quad got a whole paragraph about its handling. The other two were for power and why it got the place it did. Well, lets see, they never once mentioned towing capicity, rack capacity, they were very brief about the 4wd systems, and they hardly said anything about ground clerance or stuff like that. But im not sayin handling isnt important. But it shouldn't be the decidng factor for this group of machines. Its like havin a YFZ vs 450r shootout and them talking about how they did in the mud and what they could tow.. Makes no sense. Im actually glad not to see a polaris in the shootout because they would have ripped it from the winch to the rear diff... Now do i sound like a raving looney here. Mabye im the only one that is thiking this. Anyway tell me either way. And if you havent read the test go get May's copy of ATV RIDER. It has the new quadracer on it. Please read it and tell me what you think.
