First comments on the quad:
I do have to say I feel this is the best sporty 4×4 quad out there. I’ve spent my life on dirt bikes, Harley’s, sport bikes, snowmobiles, snowbikes, it it has an engine, I love it. This quad is the replacement for my turbo 110whp raptor 700.

Two things stood out most on the first ride: 1. The suspension is excellent for such a heavy quad. You can really ride it hard and it inspires confidence. Very very happy with the suspension, the adjustability to get it where you want it, and the overall handling. 2. The power was disappointing. Granted, everything I have is modded, but I expected more from a 1000 twin power plant like this. I really think it is the CVT. One, they rob more power than gears, but also the power is so smooth it is deceiving. Typically I find I am accelerating harder and going faster than it feels. So, performance is good, but just doesn’t give you the true feeling of what it is actually doing. This is both a good thing (well refined) and a bad thing (not as thrilling as it could be.

I’m 6’2" and 190lbs. I found it very comfortable to ride, and don’t mind the lower bars (but likely will put a riser on).

Now comes the build. I broke it into two parts: non performance and performance. I did the non-performance first.

Parts boxes:

It was a surprizing amount of work to install everything. Parts included:
1. Full BRP skid plates – Maybe not the cheapest out there, but they fit really well, and went on quite easily. All in all, happy with them. BRP’s attention to detail is the best I’ve seen for accessory kits. Instructions are well written and they replace every nylock nut that you have to pull off, so there are no worries of them locking as tightly using them the 2nd time. I didn’t like the look of exposed raw aluminum, so I had everything on the quad that was unpainted, powder coated manta green.

2. Pistol shift knob – guy is making these locally. Even when screwed all the way down, it hits the bars in park. Any other gear it is fine. Another reason to put a riser on it.
3. BRP handlebar and thumb warmer. Power is already pre-wired for these, the controls are designed to work with the existing handle bar switchgear. I can’t see any other kit looking as factory or being as easy to install.
4. BRP fender flares. Easy enough to install. Don’t have any experience with any others, so don’t know if protection is as good as others. All I can say is these are a must with the renegade as the stock fenders look great but provide very little protection.
5. BRP rear hitch. Well made. Don’t like that it mounts to the rear diff and not the frame, but it looks like this is the case for all BRP ATV’s. Very handy to have to hook a rear cable to, or pull numerous things.
6. BRP LinQ rack. Large rack, but I think it looks great, definitely looks factory and not like an add on (like some do) and the LinQ feature is great. Accessories go on and off in seconds and are very secure.
