I believe tomorrow I will buy my first quad and it will be a 2010 Renegade 500. I live in Truckee which has over a hundred miles of trails. Many are hard to soft dirt and there are some rocky hilly sections too. The good suspension should come in handy. I hope the 500cc engine will be powerfull enough to climb hills up here at 6000-7500′ but since I am new at this I think an 800cc would be too dangerous.
Currently I am retired and mt bike a lot and in the winter I snow ski almost everyday.
