I am curious about what members on here that either have a side by side and a quad or who ride with friends who have side by side’s feel about the overall riding characteristics of a side by side compared to a quad. I have a buddy who has a RZR 800. He LOVES it. He keeps up with us on the wider trails, most of the hills, goes over downed trees/logs like nobody’s business, goes further in the snow and goes thru mud about the same.

He loves going on logging roads as he can just fly at high speeds. I get bored very quickly on logging roads. But, where we lose him quickly is challenging trails with some steeper hill climbs, tighter trails obviously and trails with lots of ruts in them (he does not have power steering). We typically go for all day rides to reach lakes, mountain tops etc. I just find with him, he has a lot of limitations with his RZR and I am just curious if it is rider experience/comfort level or limitations of where side by sides can reach.

I asked Yepsed in a pm a couple of weeks ago and he said he has found the RZR to be able to go further than his grizzly in some places.

Thoughts? ?
