Suzuki, the company that was first on four-wheels, decided it was time to breathe some new life into their full-size 4×4 models. For 2019, Suzuki has made a number of updates to the venerable and nearly identical KingQuad 750 and 500 adding the most significant round of updates since the addition of power steering in 2009. Complementing updated styling, Suzuki has made a number of changes to the ATVs looking
Not long ago we reviewed the highly refined 2017 Polaris Sportsman XP 1000, a sport utility ATV with a breathtaking level of performance. For general trail riding, the XP 1000 is insanely fast yet surprisingly manageable for an experienced rider. Incredibly plush, long travel suspension, excellent stability, and Polaris power steering do a very good job of allowing you to harness the machine’s over-the–top power and substantial weight. While the
Suzuki packs a decade of updates into the 2019 KingQuad 750 and 500 Suzuki is responsible for many firsts in the powersport’s industry. In 1983, Suzuki changed the shape of ATVs forever with the four-wheeled QuadRunner 125. In 1985, they created the high-performance, sport quad segment introducing QuadRacer LT250R. In 1987, the 246cc QuadRunner 4wd offered Independent rear suspension and the flexibility of two and four-wheel-drive with a lockable
Yamaha’s Kodiak 450, where mid-size maneuverability meets full-size comfort at a bargain price. Two years ago, Yamaha streamlined their 4×4 ATV lineup in an effort to reduce manufacturing costs and increase value for their customers. The Grizzly 350, 450, and 550, discontinued after 2014, were replaced with variations of two new models sharing the Wolverine 700 UTV’s 708cc engine. First, there was the totally redesigned Grizzly 700. Built for aggressive
Roosting on Polaris’ remarkably fun, highly refined, one-liter monster! Over the past decade of reviewing Polaris 4×4 ATVs, we’ve come to expect machines that are for many riders, often second to none in their class. Already possessing arguably the best one-liter machine on the market, Polaris made a number of refinements to the 2017 Sportsman XP 1000, looking to improve performance, versatility, durability, comfort, and most notably, appearance. We
Can it possibly replace almost an entire line of 4×4 ATVs? In 2014, Yamaha offered four different 4×4 ATV models with variations of each: the Grizzly 350, 450, 550, and 700. In 2015, their lineup was reduced to several variations of the Grizzly 700, while Yamaha sold their remaining stock of sub-700cc models. This year, Yamaha has set out to replace the 350, 450, and 550 with three variations of
Everything that made the Grizzly 700 great, made better in almost every way. Originally released in 2007, the Grizzly 700 received its last major overhaul in 2014. Although it looked very much the same, it received a two-inch wider track, and recalibrated suspension, among other changes. In spite of retaining the top-seller status in the big-bore 4×4 segment, Yamaha decided to make an even larger number of significant changes
A fun and affordable sport utility ATV The entry-level 2wd sport utility segment is one of the most overlooked and underappreciated. It also happens to be one of our favorites. For the mature, practical rider, these simple, affordable machines often offer all the performance needed. For the younger up-and-coming rider, 16 years and older, of course, as mandated by the United States federal government, these machines provide a great starting
Riding the 2015 ATV of the Year! The Can-Am brand has always been synonymous with performance. All it takes is a brief look at their ATV lineup to understand why, with features like v-twin engines in their 500cc and larger 4×4 ATVs, plus their unique chassis and suspension designs. Unfortunately, striving to push the performance envelope doesn’t usually lead to moderate retail prices that appeal to the masses. When it
