Compare Quad Bikes & ATVs Side by Side

Q: Which has the most powerful engine?

The 2007 Can-Am Outlander Max 800 H.O. EFI XT has the largest displacement at 800 cccc, making it the most powerful in this comparison. A larger engine generally means more torque for towing and off-road work.

Q: Which quad is the lightest?

The 2006 Suzuki Eiger 400 4x4 Semi-Auto Camo is the lightest at 262kg (dry weight). A lighter quad is easier to manoeuvre on trails and simpler to recover if stuck.

Q: Which is best for farm work and towing?

For heavy farm use the 2007 Can-Am Outlander Max 800 H.O. EFI XT has the highest towing capacity at 590kg. For general farm duties any quad with 4WD and a towing rating above 400kg is suitable for light implements, spray rigs and game-reserve work.

Q: Which has the better suspension?

Independent front suspension (A-Arm or IFS) absorbs bumps better than solid-axle designs and improves handling on uneven terrain. Check the Suspension category in the full table above to compare front and rear travel for each model.

Q: Which is the easiest to ride?

CVT automatic transmission is easiest for beginners — there is no gear-changing or clutch to manage. A lower seat height also makes a quad more accessible for shorter riders. Check the Transmission and Seat Height rows in the table above.
