I dare say 400s are kings of the trail. No they arnt as fast as a 450 but trails arnt about top speed. They are technical which is where the 400 is great they have torque for days so they can lug through gear not just have to be topped out like 450s.

They are the best all around sport quad in my opinion, can do a little bit of everything. I love them for trail riding, some days I wish I had a faster more powerful machine, but I don't as soon as I hit the trails. A friend of mine has a Raptor 660 and because it has so much power, he frequently spins out and gets stuck in rocky areas while I just idle over all that crap like nothing.

My brother made it to the top of the backbone on a stock TRX90. That was about 11 years ago, don't think he could do it now with the ruts as big as they are from the trucks.

Seriously, the backbone is an extremely tame hill if you can avoid getting hung up on the rocks. I've seen a guy go up it in reverse on a Grizzly 600.

You want to ride a real hill, go to Kentucky, Tennessee or West Virginia. They aren't hills, they are mountains.

Weve got gnarly hills around here. Lot of old poker run trails too

That looks like a pretty good hill, nice climb. Hills in pics and videos almost always look more tame than they actually are and that one looks pretty steep.

Where I ride the hills like this are usually covered in loose rock, they are real intense to go up. Gotta have good tires all the time! I am glad I had mine over the weekend, had to downshift on one of those hills and nearly came to a complete stop, gunned it and spun and clawed my way to the top, barely made it!

I use to climb some knarly stuff, steepest and worse were the Badlands in Attica, IN. I climbed this one that my buddy that climbs everything
on his Banshee wouldn't try. The next guy tried and pretty much totaled out his quad when he didn't make it. Yrs. later I crashed down a hill and got
busted up bad....I still climb but I gotta look at it for a long while and then sometimes I pass, getting to old I guess. But I trail ride yr. round except
when the hayfever gets too bad. This weekend we headed for the "Laketon Bog" for a ride along the river, have a cookout and pick and eat
some paw paws from the trees. Probably get out one of the ATC's. With gas prices we don't get down to the Badlands much anymore, and
Haspin acres was getting so rutted up haven't been back there in years.
