Hey everyone, so long story short, Ive own a honda TRX400x (the newer version of the old 400ex) and cant stand it anymore. I have had issue after issue with it and no end in sight even with great maintenance. If it had all kinds of issues but performed great I wouldnt be that mad, but the engine is a dog and the suspension is basically nonexistent. Which brings me to why im on the can am forum.
I am looking to swap my 400 for something better, I naturally looked to 450r's first but am starting to lean more towards the renegade 850, seems more practical, better suspension ride, 4x4, and more powerful out of the box. So first im looking for reviews of the stock suspension on the base model renegades (the 850 or 1000 with the fox shocks) are they comfortable even for lighter riders? (I am about 180) and even on long fast trail rides? (we ride non stop from 8am to about 7pm when we go, so lot of hours in the saddle each day). and second, how do these compare to sport quads like 450s? I ride mostly tight woods trails or dunes, and like to ride hard, do you find these machines tippy or hard to ride fast. I cant afford the XXC otherwise id just get that and call er a day.
Thanks in advance!
Sorry for the repost of this thread, I had a terrible title so didn't get any info at all last time.
