Yessir, I got me a 2010 Rincon. Always missed the handling characteristics and ride I got with it, as well as the build quality.
For those of you getting ready to bash the 4WD capabilities, save it. I still have the King Quad. For most trail riding, I'll probably ride the Rincon, but if I think things are gonna get real, out comes the King.
Now, if only the rain would stop. I will be posting a thread with pics depicting a side by side comparison of the two quads.
Looks good but Does It have PS


Bruce, it's not available on the Rincon, and if it were, it would be a waste, unless I put monster mudders on it.......which I am not. Rincons steer easier than some 2WD models I have ridden. I'm not a really big fan of PS on quads anyways. I don't like the "numb" feeling in the steering. Gonna ride Friday, I think. Definitely a maiden voyage opportunity.


Hey if you ever need someone to ride it I would be MORE than happy to give it some seat time... just throwing that out there


Hey, I'll take ya...no problem man.

If it were my only ride, maybe, but its not, so its staying bone stock to preserve the handling. I still have the KQ700 with the XTRs if I wanna play in the muck. Way I figure, I have a very sweet general trail machine, and an accomplished mudder to choose from. I threw 27s on the first Rinny. It certainly increased 4X4 capabilities, but is destroyed the handling/agility and definitely robbed some power. The overall ride suffered enough, I wish I had never done it. Basically, the point in choosing the Rincon for a second ride was to have a comfy SUV, as well as a Humvee sitting in the garage.

As for ole NH, he'll probably ride the Rincon. It'll keep his old bones out of the chiropractor's office.

Taking her out for a maiden voyage in the morning. Riding with some more old bones straddling a Rancher 350 4WD. Shouldn't be too hard to keep up lol.

Mudholes have become "hard to come by" here. All the trail systems now have bridges built over the real mud, or have been rerouted to go around. If you get caught straying off the trail to tackle one, you can get in some serious trouble from Fish n Game (tree huggers). I'm sure it'll still get plenty muddy, and I'll take some pics just for you Sportsman4X4. If I do run across some opportunities to submarine a quad, I'll swap with whoever is on my King Quad and go for it.

that's the same song and dance that we have going on over here.. Even though I don't have a 4x4 yet. The mud is really hard to come by, and everything has been intentionally avoided/rerouted by DNR so they can eliminate some fun from the ride, and it's another reason for them to phuck with you-give you tickets.

I saw a guy earlier in the year swamp his quad in an "off trail" mud hole ... DNR came acrossed him and laid the tickets on. They rack up fast from what i saw ... so it's not a good idea to stray off the path!


you might be a redneck if you say "Gun show was full today,ammo going out the door. Bought 900 rnds of 223 lake city brass,for 450.00.. "
