'05 Suzuki KingQuad 700 - Tested
"Versatility," an abused buzz word that manufacturers almost always come up short on, when delivering the promise. Not so for the new KingQuad 700 4X4, though, as the lines between sport and utility are almost completely blurred, especially when it comes to the copious power, the soft and well traveling suspension, and...

'04 Honda FourTrax - Tested
(Year-long Review) More commonly knows as the Rancher, this ATV falls into the mid-size category.

Progressive's 512 suspension system - Tested
The stiff springs on our Rancher AT allowed it to handle like a sports car, but the tradeoff was a ride that would absolutely shake the fillings out of your teeth. Progressive Suspension agreed that the last thing the 4X4Review needed was another toothless editor so they shipped out a 512 Series Utility ATV suspension.

Gator Inc.'s Gator Straps - Tested
If you are like me then you probably don’t give a lot of thought to the straps you use to anchor your ATV to your trailer.

I was fortunate enough to acquire a set of Gator Straps from Gator Inc. and all of that has changed...
