the yfz 450's are great quads. as are the raptors. but a better rider can go faster on a yfz just because it is tuned more for race where as the raptor is all about big CC's

well you gotta realize what the downside is to that true 4x4. polaris is just a single switch with locked diffs. you hit the switch and it engages teh front as well as rear. there is a huge downside though. you can really only use the 4x4 in situations where it is terribly needed like in the mud or snow due to all 4 being locked at once.

my grizzly has two buttons. one to engage 4x4 with limited slip up front which lets me keep it in 4x4 just in case i may need it if i'm on trials i'm unfamiliar with and i won't hurt anything turning the wheels and it's very easy to turn. if i need it locked "which is a rare occasion wher eyou need them locked" i just press the second toggle and badda bing I have the same thing that polaris totes about.

who needs limited slip? just give it hell in 2 wheel drive and if you cant make it up what you are raising hell on, flip the switch into true 4x4 and your at the top in no time and its backing to raising some more
