RE: Most/Least Durable ATV Brands
I have an 05 rincon. One of the last before the disc brakes up front and carbureated. Would like fuel injection, but you know, this quad will pull my log arch/trailer loaded with wood or a good size log behind it and it has always taken me from point A to B without whining.
I did put 26in bighorns and a 4500lb venom on it which I haven't had to use yet.
I went with the rincon solely because it has the automotive type tranny. As I have spent some time in Ak and heard the stories of belt drives failing it scared me off. Being many miles out in nowhere with a failed belt just wouldn't cut it. Also saw many pushing harleys with broken belts, I have a shaftdrive boulevard, seems to also get me from point A to B in style at half the price.
Folks, I too do not want to bash anyone or any fun machine, they all have their strong points, just a matter of what we use them for. Personally, I am not going to take a 7000 dollar machine out and see how much mud it will go through and see if I need sonar to find my way through a pond. For me it is a tool to get the meat, and firewood in, or course going out to see the countryside is a plus without having to hump your A-- off packing a weekend of supplies up a mountain to that special fishing hole.
