Despite the smaller displacement, this quad makes no compromise: it's just a machine with a scaled-down power, but retaining all the maneuverability and off-road worthiness of its bigger sibling. Comfort-focused construction make this SxS great for day-long work around the farm or ranch, but it will also provide top-notch transportation when camping in the wold or simply having weekend fun.
