Went out hunting on a 680 Rincon today….

My buddy invited me to get out deer hunting and using his quads to get around. He let me drive the Rincon 680 and he drove the old 86 Moto 4 ( MINT, Original Tires!!!!! )

We put on roughly 100kms I’d say. The quad had 27" Mud Bugs. Now I have NO experience with either that quad or the bugs. I must say I was disappointed in BOTH.

We drove down cut lines, pipe lines, gravel roads & trails. When we were on the pipe lines, & cut lines we encountered semi frozen floating bogs/muskeg. It just seemed like as soon as we drove over them and kinda sunk down just a little, and I mean just a little the quad would bog. I had it in auto. It idled fine, drove fine, road smooth, had good suspension. It just seemed like it was geared way too high..

When encountering deeper wet grass, bog, skeg mixture it really had to be gassed to do anything. It just seemed under powered. I actually got stuck in one spot, and figured that if I hammered it the Bugs would shine and help pull the beast thru… Wrong. Took two of us to get it out. It was a small hole too!

Whats everyones experience with this quad?
