There was a time when i raced XC (cross country) ATV events on utility ATVs. The tracks consist on everything, mud, sand hills, some of them are 12 miles long, most races are 2 hours.You are putting these machines to the test. Can-am has a big following in the XC world and has several factory backed racers that race on 4x4 ATVs. I began racing on a 2010 Polaris 850XP, at the time the nicest ATV polaris made. As an XC racer, we break things that the average person will never break. I will say this, I doubt I would ever own another polaris.Even during normal riding I continually had issues with my polaris. Can-am is the most durable, and reliable ATV I have ever owned, I am now on my 5th can-am of 10+ ATVs and no other manufacture has anything that I would even consider. It really all depends on what your looking for. If your looking for an ATV to keep for 10+ years and use solely as a work vehicle I think there is no better vehicle for the job than a honda. Honda ATVs have never been big on performance, or suspension but nobody can say that they dont build a reliable machine.
