TRX700XX Hillclimb - Honda Foreman Forums : Rubicon, Rincon, Rancher and Recon Forum

Finally got some footage of me climbing some hills, but its a short video and only one hill. One of these days I'll have someone with me to film while I tear up the local hillclimbs. I also wish I would have had my GoPro, but the latch for the case is missing. Enjoy the movie.

Drag races? Nope. I don't ride with too many other people, and they are mostly utilities. The places we go ride at don't have drag racing set up, but im sure it would do good, it does boogie.

how does it corner with the irs??

Not as good as I want it to. At slow speeds my Rincon actually takes sharp corners better. From what I've been reading on 700xx forums, the beast wasn't really designed with railing corners in mind, more so to ride in trails and deserts. But with a larger diameter rear sway bar, and adjustable front a-arms people say you should be able to throw them around like a straight axle, and take corners with ease. Right now it takes a bit more body english to maneuver sharp turns. But in regular and rutted trails this thing is unstoppable. I'm even more comfortable climbing hills than with my old z400, and myxx sits up higher and is way heavier.

Its my buddies 04 Sportsman 400. Since buying it used with low milage about a month ago, we've already replaced a from half shaft and clutch plates. Has about 1200a less miles than my Rincon, but I can already tell there's more a head of him yet to fix.
