| Little Grizzly
I have been riding a 2007 Grizzly 450 4x4 for several months now. Perfect trail quad. Plenty of power for the steepest hills. Top speed reached, 48MPH on a smooth but winding dirt road. I think I was close to top end, but I still had a little throttle left. It can pull 50+ MPH with a 190 lb rider on it. This is a rock climber for sure. I have it tuned at about 6000 ft elevation, but power is still good at 12,000 ft. I have not done anything to it to enhance horsepower, it is straight stock. I am running with a Kawasaki 650 most of the time and it has never gone anywhere the little griz' can't. No mechanical problems of any kind, either. Unless you are racing or mud running, 450 cc is plenty for all but the largest men. .  | | | | Nov 8th, 07, 08:52 AM | | Super Moderator STAFF Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: Crossville,TN

| I bought one for my wife this summer, she goes anywhere I go with my grizzly 660. It's a great mid size quad, climbs hills like a goat. I was going to upgrade to a 700, but the wife felt the 660 was too much for her to manuever in technical stuff, so we got her the 450. Now all I here is "I wanna ride" , which is a good thing. | | | |
