I Thought…

What do you think?

If your one of those riders who love spinning the tires

and riding fast. This is the book for you. In this book I

have compared five ATV’S down to the last bolt to

make sure what ATV deserve which spot. They were all

very good but there can only be one number one…

Price: $ 13,399 Egine size: 675cc singal cylinder Fuel Delivery: Electronic Fuel Injection

Honda has made lots of four wheelers and

side by sides. Honda brought all of their best

work and features in the Rincon. This is the

best Rincon they’ve ever made, it has the

most features and power than ever before.

5

Honda Rincon

Honda only has three colours for the Rincon, white orange and the famous Honda red.

Quick Fact

The Expert Says… In 2002 Honda introduced the Rincon it was a

fast big bore 650cc single cylinder engine. Then

in 2006 Honda changed the body. Finally in 2009

to present year Honda put a 680cc single

cylinder engine in the Rincon.

Drive Train

Lots of ATV’S have four wheels drive,

Honda does have the option on the

Rincon. The Rincon has the choice of

two wheel and four wheel drive. I

hope next year Honda has a lever so

all four wheels turn at once.

Where Their Made

Honda is a Japanese Based company

that make a lot of off-road vehicles.

Is made Japan just like Yamaha and

Suzuki.

Fuel Capacity

Usually Quads have the average of

17 liters of fuel capacity. The Rincon

can hold 16.8 liters of gas. If you’re

planning on going on a trip over one

hundred kilometers, you should

probably bring more gas.

Power Steering

Most ATVS in this day and age have

power steering to help steer the ATV.

Honda does have power steering, it

helps but it can be improved.

Price: $ 13,569 Engine Size: 708cc single cylinder Fuel Delivery: Electronic Fuel Injection

Yamaha is a well-known off-road vehicle

company who has made a lot of great ATVS in

the last couple of years. Yamaha’s best

recreational ATV is the Grizzly. It’s the biggest

of the big in the bear family for Yamaha.

4

Yamaha Grizzly

Yamaha have a good colour choices for the Grizzly, Those coulor choices 2016 are camo, blue, green and metallic gray.

Quick Fact

The Expert Says…

In 1995 Yamaha launched the Grizzly to the bear family. In 2002 The Grizzly had a 660cc single cylinder engine. Then in 2008 The Grizzly became a 700cc single cylinder, fuel injected beast with a new shifter and new body lines. For 2016 the Grizzly has the newest and best look the Grizzly ever had.

Drive Train

All of Yamaha’s ATVS for 2016 have

four wheel drive. The Grizzly defiantly

has four wheel drive, Yamaha has

deferential lock so want the rider

pushes the button in is let’s all four

wheels spin. It comes in handy when

riding in rough trails.

Where Their Made

Yamaha is a Japanese based company,

they make all their ATVS and side by

sides in the U.S.A. even though their

head buildings are in Japan.

Fuel Capacity

Yamaha has a fairly good fuel capacity

for the Grizzly. The ATV holds 18 liter

of gas. As long as the Grizzly is not

hard on gas and the rider is not

planning on going over one hundred

kilometers they should be all right.

Power Steering

For 2016 Yamaha has the choice of

power steering in the Grizzly. This is a

big improvement in the handling of this

ATV. It helps on rough trails. It could

use little work on it though.

# 5 4 3 2 1

Price: $14,599 Engine Size: 952cc flat twin cylinder Fuel Dilivery: Electric Fuel Injection

In 2016 Polaris has put the best ATV engine

they have ever made in the Sportsman it is

952cc fuel injected monster. The lack of

quality of the Sportsman engine is put aside

when Polaris brought this engine to the

market.

3

Polaris Sportsman

The colour choice for the Sportsman in 2016 are matte spruce green with a white star on the gas tank, regular green, red pearl, white and mossy oak camo.

Quick Fact

The Expert Says…

In 1994 Polaris introduce the Sportsman a 500cc single cylinder motor then in 2002. Then in they change the body lines. In 2007 Polaris again changed the body lines and added a 750 flat twin cylinder motor. Finally in 2013 Polaris added a 1000 into the mix.

Drive Train

The Sportsman has an interesting

drive train in 2016. The rider has the

option of all wheel drive and two

wheel drive. It has its ups and downs

because if the switch is broken it will

be stuck in all wheel drive and when

it’s in all wheel drive it’s harder on

gas. But all wheel drive is easier going

through mud.

Where Their Made

Polaris is a U.S.A. based company, who

makes very good ATV’S and side by

sides. They should never stop

manufacturing off-road vehicles in the

U.S.A. because their quality is getting

better every year and they never plan

on stopping.

Fuel Capacity

In 2016 the Sportsman has a fuel

capacity of 19.9 liters, which is very

helpful and useful when going on long

rides. Even last year model could hold

19.9 liters of fuel.

HEADING

Polaris Sportsman xp does have electric

power steering. With a big bike like the

Sportsman that didn’t have power

steering the rider would wish they had

it, that’s why Polaris has added that

facture.

# 5 4 3 2 1

Price: 13,599 Engine Size: 749 v-twin cylinder Fuel Dilivery: Electric Fuel Injection

Kawasaki in 2016 has really stepped up to the

plate. The brute-force has gotten better very

year and this year is the best it’s ever been.

This year it has more of everything, from

options, to models. Kawasaki has defiantly

has put the pressure on the other

manufactures to beat their product.

2

Kawasaki Brute-Force

The colour choices in 2016 for the Brute-Force are Kawasaki green, Dark green and black.

Quick Fact

The Expert Says…

In 2002 Kawasaki launched the Brut-Force it has a 600cc single cylinder engine. Then in 2006 Kawasaki changed the body lines and put a 750cc single cylinder engine. Finally in 2013 the Brute-Force changed the body lines and added the 750 v twin cylinder engine.

Drive Train

Kawasaki’s drive train for the Brute-

Force is 2 wheel drive with the option

of 4 wheel drive and there’s

something different about Kawasaki’s

differential, the ATV has a yellow lever

over the throttle that the rider has to

hold in if needing to use it.

Where Their Made

Kawasaki is just like Polaris all of their

off-road vehicles are made in the

U.S.A., Kawasaki has made their ATV’S

in the U.S.A. sense the beginning. They

should never quit making ATVS in the

U.S.

Fuel capacity

Kawasaki has a good size fuel tank in

the Brute-Force of 19 liters. That is

good if the rider is going on a one

hundred kilometer bike ride. But if the

rider is planning on going farther than

that it would be a good idea to bring

extra fuel, just in case.

Electric Power Steering.

One of the best features Kawasaki ever

added to the Brute-Force was power

steering, it helps a lot in a rough trails

and a big bike like the Brute-Force it

was a good idea to ad it.

# 5 4 3 2 1

Price: $15,849 Engine Size: 976cc v twin cylinder Fuel Injection: Electronic Fuel Injection

The 2016 Can-am Outlander XT is one of the

best ATV’S on the market! If you’re one of

those riders who loves lots of power then the

Outlander is the bike for you. It has

everything from power to handling and all

the bells and whistle.

1

Can-am Outlander

In 2016 the Outlander has a colour choice of silver mixed with red, black mixed with blue, camo, yellow and white.

Quick Fact

The Expert Says…

In 2003 Can-am added the Outlander. It was a 400cc single cylinder engine. Then in 2006 Can-am put a 800 v twin cylinder engine and changed the body lines Then in 2013 Can-am again change the body lines and put a 1000 v twin cylinder engine. Now in 2016 the 1000cc has 7 more horse power to 89.

Drive Train

For this year, the Outlander has a

choice of two wheel drive and four

wheel drive. There is an extra feature

on the Outlander it is called Visco

Lock. It makes all four wheels spin at

the same time, that helps a lot when

going through mud and going over

obstacles.

Where Their Made

Can-am is a Canadian based company,

who has made a lot of ATV’S through

the years. They may be a Canadian

company, butt all of their off-road

vehicles now a days are made in

Mexico. All Can-am fans would like

them to be made in Canada like BRP’s

other products.

Fuel Capacity

Can-am has always has had great fuel

capacity on their Outlanders. Yet

again they do with 20 liters of fuel

they can hold. That is really good for a

600 pound ATV. This will help for the

everyday rider saving them having to

full up.

HEADING

Power steering on the Outlander is not

in its prime. The Outlander doesn’t

really need it per say because it is a

great handling ATV. But it does help

when in four wheel drive, in mud or

going over obstacles.

I thought…

1. Do you agree with my ranking? If you don’t, try ranking them yourself. Justify your ranking with data. You may use my criteria or you may use your own. 2. Here are others to consider: Artic cat 1000 xt and Suzuki King Quad 750. Find out more about them. Should they have made my list? Are there others that should be considered?
