Test drove a 2010 Canam Rengade 800x today...

Holy crap is all I got to say.That is the fast 4x4 quad I have ever been on,tap the throttle and it acts like it is just plain pissed off,very violent in the way it pulls.Thought it might be nice for the woods but I don't know now.Made my good running 660 grizzly seem like a beginners bike.

What's one of those cost?

And, know that the Outlander 800s have the exact same engine and chassis. Only the plastics are different and you have no storage capacity on the Gade. Did you ride the model with EPS(electronic power steering)? No more rotator cuff injuries with EPS. We'll be trading our 13 y.o.'s DS250 for the 2010 Renegade 500x in May 2010.

Those outlanders seem to DOMINATE GNCC. I do like those renegades though!

I own a completely stock Outlander 800 and it is crazy powerful.  The ride is fantastic and the handling good in slow to moderate speeds.  It gets squirrely at high speeds and the understeer is scary.  My only other complaint is the brakes are very noisy when wet.  Outside of that, love it!  I'm sure the handling issues could be cured with an upgraded suspension.
