I’ve only had my ’13 850xp eps for 4 days. I thought the ride was very smooth when I did a test ride but as the terrain I’m riding gets tougher I’m really pleased. The only quads I have to compare it to however are my old ’94 sportsman 400, honda 400ex, yamaha grizz 660. The grizz I’ve ridden recently. It was more like riding a horse…it’s bouncy and your butt gets tired and sore after awhile. Plus it has a lot of vibration. Maybe it was just this particular 660. The 850 is like riding a sofa. It’s so comfy and the oem suspension really does a great job absorbing roots and such. Can’t wait to get home to ride it.
