I have looked on several sites to find out the hp rating on the Rubi with no luck. I think they are around 60-65 hp. Polaris 850 is 85 hp.

On-Road New Vehicle & Engine Certification Program

Scroll down to "Executive Orders", look under green stickers and pick your year. Then just scroll down till you find your quad.

Some are rated in HP and some in kW. If it is rated in kw here's a converter
