  • Power house
    By Anthony (I am an Owner) on Mar 16, 2013

    I bought this ATV as a left over and saved about a grand. This ATV is expensive but what you get for the xt package is worth it. I like the look of the front and rear better than that of the previous models. The power is all that you ever could imagine, beats out alot of sport atv's in a straight ...

    Pros:

    Amazing power, good looking front and rear, good heavy duty racks and bumpers, Tri mode power steering.

    Cons:

    Only 9" ground clearance, rear bumper sticks out too far.

  • Beast in the field
    By Tom Adams (I am an Owner) on Jan 25, 2012

    Bought it new, yes way expensive, had a brute force 750 for 4 years so I can compare to that. First off, it's the BMW of ATV's. Or more appropriately the F250.

    I hop on, start it up, sounds smooth, not as loud as I expected. Hit the gas and within seconds im flying down the road. Winch pulled ...

    The ride is awesome, power steering seperates the brute force 750 by miles. I will never buy another ATV without power steering. I got the accessory rack and plan to buy some clip on boxes and storage.

    Really this is a dream machine, I just wish it was 7000 dollars not 11700.
