Went on first ride on trails Monday, Spearhead in Virgina, very nice trails, has it all, technical, climbs, mud and even trails up/down a creek
I'll rank my first impression 1-10 and I rode it like I stole it just to see how it was going to hold up
Speed-8-10, plenty, of course it could use some kick in high on the open trails but that being said was plenty enough for my style riding
Low gear-10-10, this little thing will set the rear on the bumper, it will climb as long as you give it gas,friends saw the skid plate a couple times
Handling- 8/9-10 drives great, like one of those arcade driving games, very fun, turning right good left turn not so good
Security-10-10, felt very comfortable , up steep climb not tippy at all, over-all confident with the cage and belt and all
Comfort- 10-10, rode total 6 hrs, didn't beat ya up, I felt great not stoved up, seat good, peddles in the right place, tremendus "giggle" factor
Tires-6/7-10, not a big fan of the Carlise, felt sloppy at times around tight turns and mud
Ground clearance-6/7-10, drug the bottom most of the creek, only a 250 did too, drug on the rutted trails, good skid plate under though
Assessory- 10-10, the rear cargo box was worth the money as was the front/rear bumpers, and really liked the nerf bars
Over all-8/9-10, This is just what I bought it for, Security#1, Ride#2, Climbing#3, Handling#4, 3 out of 4 ain't bad, Mabey put some bigger wheels/tire to help with the ground clearance, I really don't think it will hurt in low end, it pulled unreal and is very rigid, there was a "wow" factor for me there, going to investigate the turning radius to see if I can help it some
Hope this helps on anyone looking to buy one, I'm 230# and it pulled and ran great, very satisfied, had camera but wrong card but took a few snap shots off the ride
