Two Person Quads

fargineyesore · May 4, 2010

Anyone know of quads designed for two people and which is the best? A couple I know are wanting to buy their first quad and plan to do some doubling. I told them they'd be better off buying two, as I don't recommend doubling on a quad as it affects the handling too much.

They can't afford two though, so hopefully there is a quad out there that can safely handle two people.

I've had a seat on the back for years with no problems, however if you want a true 2 up I believe Can Am makes one. I just had a seat on the back of my Arctic cat and that worked fine. Also a lot cheaper. They may also want to consider a side by side too. :beer:

Can Am & Polaris X2's are both good 2 place ATV's but $$$$$$$$$$$$$$. Don't have any experience with the other brands.

i ride a outlander 500XTMAX 2 seater love it,rented it to hydro, there polaris 2 seater broke [axle] they took mine and loved it ,said its bigger but way more stable,it will climb a tree with out lifting the front wheels,longer wheel base even rides smoother. I was the only one with a 2 seater in are group when started rideing now there is 4 in are group, out of 6, take the back seat off when alone and add your lockable storage trunk and giver .:d

We sell the Arctic Cat brand and they have many two seaters available
500, 550. 650 700 and even a 1000.

We have some new non-current models that are up to 2100 off. These are the 2008 500 trv models.. we have them on sale for 7900.00 with a two yr warranty, there is a 300 pdi charge plus tax as well so you would be looking at 8100 plus tax,

We also have a winch promo on that allows you to get a 2500lb warn winch for $ 350.00 (installed)

My cuz has the 500xtMax Can Am that I ride on occasion. Yup, its a nice machine except for the heavy steering that makes it one miserable SOB to handle. After 30 minutes on tight trails, it feels like you've gone 10 rounds with Mike Tyson.

Other than that , Great.

We were in the same boat a couple years ago, ended up getting the rzr instead of two machines. The wife likes to ride more than drive.
We use to double on my BF with a back seat but if I were to go back to that, think I'd go with the can am 800 max with the eps and air suspension.

we used to double on our 450 Kodiak, had a back pad on the rack and footrests added ,,worked fine, just cant go flying thru mudholes with Mamma on the back.
Local friend has some 2007 Suzuki 400 4x4s ,ex oilfeild Quads for $2500 and up.
around 1500 kms on them.look nice. need some minor repairs,my Kodiak came from him. no issues at all.email me for his phone number.Cheap Quad to start with.

Thanks for the responses. I'll have to advise them.

I have a Can-am Max 800. All I can say is LOVE IT! Put wifey on the back and go! Don't even know she's back there 1/2 the time

X2 on the can-am max!

team dirt · May 7, 2010

Ya the can ams are sweet. this is how me and the family travel.
They work great for leisure cuises and still can rip in the good stuff.

RMK Junky · May 7, 2010

We really enjoy ours 2 :d They're a little more scratched up now

We have an Outty 650 Max and love it. Rides great with one or two peeps. Actually like the bit longer wheelbase, there have been some advantages even when riding solo. I've doubled some heavier peeps and don't really know they're back there unless climbing some knarlier stuff, then I've had to do a little suspension adjustment to keep the front down

and the back from bottoming out!
I'd have to ask hubby what it's like riding in the backseat though
