I have had my BRUTE for 5 months! No problem's yet. The belt noise is annoying, and the fact that I had to cut those stupid stock rim center lips off the hubs to put my ITPS on was a PAIN in the neck. But the bike runs strong and has a lot of power. This is my 7th quad in 10 years, and I can tell you that this is a Great quad. I would not haste to buy another one.
