Hopefully you have enough cash left over to use it? They are expensive. Nice looking quad though. I know for a fact that the silverbacks are an awesome tire.

Heard over on the highlifter forum you can't take too much of a hard hit because of the air ride suspension. They don't do too well when exposed to too much air time or hard hits. I can't say for sure, I never ridden one.
Though they do got all the right mods to make it mud worthy.

A friend of mine bought this quad. I have to say that it is a mud hole animal. That is what it was designed for...Mudholes! It is very well designed for that.It is not meant for jumping or super cross applications.
If you like to go into a lot of mud and skeg areas you will be happy with this quad period.
Every quad has its limitations,when you cross those limitations you can expect failure.

If you are going to jump a quad why would you get one with big heavy tires and a stiff suspension
That's like me buying a snowmobile and then saying it doesn't work very well in the mud.
In conclusion if you are doing mud and trails this is an AMAZING machine. If you are going to try jumping it and going through whoops buy a sportquad or a dirtbike

They work very well in all conditions, I ride with the one in the videos on here, he's only broken 2 outer CV joints and I'd say it's more to do with a heavy thumb and power steering than anything else. Be warned...those things are heavy and you'll need to winch to something solid to get out....it easily drags my Brute Force when we try to use it as a winch anchor.
He romps right along on the trails with all the Renegades and Outlanders and loves it so far.

Yes it looked that way, but was definitely the cv joint

My buddy has decided to sell his, he's more of an XXC guy than XMR guy, it's at Bow Ridge Sports in Cochrane, they'll be able to give you the scoop on it.
