You don't have a nice quad if a simple tug-of-war ruins it. Just saying.

The main reason the can am won was because it weighs a lot more than the grizzly. The grizzly has plenty of power! watch the beginning when they just start the can am doesn't really start of fast and the grizzly is spinning the whole time. V-twin engines are heavy! The can am weighs 713 lbs. and the Yamaha grizzly 648 lbs. that's a 65 lb. difference. once the grizzly started spinning he was done for. try this same test but put more weight on the grizzly and I think you will be surprised. Also Yamahas are a lot more reliable and don't break down as much as can am and Polaris!

The Grizzly spun its wheels and lost traction instantly.

Was just about to comment about that. Popular tactic between the truck tug-o-wars. The fella on the Grizz got on that gas pretty good from launch and the Can gracefully pulled off after the spin. I'm a big fan of both manufactures as both make a very capable quad, but this specific test has too many unequal variables. Damn nice machines though!

FYI the Can-Am 500cc and the Grizz 700cc were lined up in a drag and the Grizz only inched on it. Pony wise the Can-Am are at the top of the heap. AGAIN, this is in stock form not with all your aftermarkets. I personally guarntee that no stock unit will be able to handle the Can-Am 800cc engine! Anyone who has ridden or owned a multitude of units knows that Can-Am is the best PLEASURE riding ATV out there. I mean who would argue with a company that also makes jets, boats, high speed rails..

remind me to never buy from this dealer...

my dad sold his outlander 1000 cause of how many belts he went through. back to the trusty grizz he went.

I like both of them. Anything that gets you into the back country has a chance to break down and even more when you run it through deep mud and launching them into god knows where. If your gentle with your machine it will last a life time. I am a owner of a Polaris 450, Arctic cat 500 and Can-am 1000 and each of these machines is a pleasure to ride and work with. Also aftermarket parts will always be stronger than anything that comes stock with these machines but you have to break it first in order to upgrade them.

yep! it is! i've bought a lot from them! i live in louisiana about 3 hours from the company.

canams look aggressive but I prefer hondas over anything.

I'm not knocking Honda's, but it's all about what type of riding you do. If you want ground clearance, raw power, and ability to go in deeper water from the factory, it's Can Am all day. If you want something to use around the house/farm/part time recreation, then it's Honda.

I own a Grizzly 700 and my buddy owns a Can-Am Both are excellent rides. Weve both ridden eachothers and love them both. The Can-Am does have a little more top end and have a little more torque, but look at the size differance in the motors a little extra goes along ways. Those tires that are on the Grizzly in this video are the ones I had on mine which are ok but you can get way more ride if you swap in for a really agressive tire that is wider like BKT's, or Bridgestone XXTREME ATV Mud Hooks.

@kimbej2 Also, the more torque on the 700 means that it will break its tires free first, therefore lowering the coefficient of friction as the tires spin on the pavement.

This test is completely meaningless, it's a waste of time and tires.

(prototype) good luck kid the can am is a work atv not a little 2x4 for speed it will took apart your little mini quad

Right. And my Grizzly 660 in 5 years of offroading NEVER stopped, while every Can am and Polaris my friends owned had problems.... Polaris especially, I like Can am though..

My friend and I hook them up like this when we ride! This way I get to the mud hole quick and were already hooked together so I can pull him through the hole that his visco-lok got him stuck in.

It's all about weight and tires on asphalt.

one variable missing in this old discussion is the height at which the chain is hooked on both machines. Generally the lower the better.

@murhawk You just proved how it won. I was hoping someone would have mentioned this.

Glad I just got a 500HO EFI XT 2008. Mine is also a green meanie.

i Work at a dealership like this and we use a can am Traxtor to haul jet ski tailors in and out. Its a stock Can am but it can haul any thing in our parking lot like a 24 foot boat. We beat the crap out of it, head lights are busted, the guards are bent in and the gear selector is so worn in the groves for each gear select is gone and has cut half into the handle, but yet it keeps on going.

@stoichiometric If the quad is at high idle (or rev what ever you prefer) and is still being pulled backward while trying to move forward. That means the transmission is either going or the clutch is slipping (or belt depending on the model). Basically if it doesn't have to power to move the other quad it's weak.

I completely agree with you! For those of us with common sense and/or experience it is not that hard to understand!

I agree to kevin. Once someone starts spinning the other will pull them as long as they hold the throttle. If these 2 were in dirt/mud it would be a diff story. Both great quads tho. Thumb up!

@mmontiso the grizzly was in 4 wheel drive, if u watch the front rims u can see them spin forward

I completely agree. Traction off the bat is everything and if the Grizz is running the stock Dunlops, which look worn, than yeah anything with half traction is going to pull it away....

Yeah, that would be a good idea. I rode one of those arctic cat 1000 and it handled well, the power was amazing and it had all this other great stuff about it, but i don't like it for one reason. The damn things so huge you body weight has such a small impact on it's stability. Like, it felt uneasy on hard corners because it always felt like it was gonna flip no matter how far you leaned.

crazy how this was 13 years ago

I'm loyal to neither machine, but I would like to see a second pull off, with both riders SLOWLY adding throttle until one begins to pull the other. The Yamaha rider immediately applied full throttle while the other guy was still holding the brake, this broke the wheels loose causing the coefficient of friction to go down. It may not have been the deciding factor, but it DEFINITELY makes a difference.

@hondaman997...wow im hopefully getting an outlander if the paper work goes through...I was just wondering what your thoughts of the bike all round are.

When I first saw this video I was blown way and like 4 months later I bought me an 2011 can am outlander 500 xt amazing 4wheeler i got the camouflaged color it was $300 bucks more I said what the hell I take it it was $8,300 dollars I paid for mine

@gittyupalice96 actually their is something with power in it, if a quad is to weak it will idle high and be pulled backward while trying to move forward

yeah ya gotta go toe to toe on the trails, theyre both good machines.

@MtWill79 yah man their pretty powerful lil machines. its surprising that it can do it.

This is a good example of traction of those tires on tar.

so much for the yammy. It was helpless in the grip of the can-am

This is the real thing. I've had Polaris yamaha and Suzuki atv's. Just purchased an Outlander 800, what a machine. Can am is my choice so far.

I wish Honda would make a mud specific 4 wheeler

What did you do to your banshee to make it 611cc? Because that would be pretty beast.

I usually say it doesn't matter, just get on the trails and ride, but I actually had to chuckle a little watching this. Just because one of my riding buddies has a Grizzly and thinks it rules.

(I am neither a can-am nor a grizzly man so not being biased) The tires on the grizzly are much thinner in width which is weight displacement. The wider tires had more tire to surface than the grizzly did. Counter the weight from the heavy Can-am and add the same tires to both bikes. Now, we have ourselves a game of tug of war! Would actually like to see this scenario.

dang that 4 wheeler got drug like a rage doll

exactly you are very correct, reallyfor a better test, just race

@guyproulx1660

9 жыл бұрын

you took the words right out of my mouth lol

also the can am is a little longer and lower center of gravity which is great for a tug-o-war but sucks out on the trail.

These are my two favorite machines and clearly the outlander is better, but i still love both machines.

@Renegade800rXXC yamaha puts more power to the ground in higher gears because in lower it revvs up fast and just gives to much power so it spins and yamahas do seem to run at high RPMs

haha ya thats the real deal! can-am/bombardier always kick ass. i've owned a raptor 700, a banshee, and a blaster. i now own a ds650x, and it it is the best atv out of all of them. I used to be a rly big yamaha fan, but now im a bombardier guy. i still like yamaha tho

FYI....BOTH units had stock tires... That was actually one of the reasons for the test. Not to do a bunk pull but to show that Can-Am's come better equipped. For you to get the same equipment on a Yama you would have to spend an additional $900-1200. And you still would not have the ponies that a Can-Am does. Look at the recent posts. I have posted some PROVEN info about the Yama Vs. Can-Am

I dont have much of a preference because I cant afford either atv lol but this is know different than doing it with trucks its not all about power but power that can be put to the ground and right tires, for being on pavement having mud tires is a disadvantage so the quad with the most surface area on the ground here had the best shot

to get a good view of which pulls better you should weight them both down the same and pull an eliminator, the CanAm I think weighs a little more out of the box.

Ever notice how you don’t see older can ams on the trail? They always seem to be new ones. I like my 01 Yamaha big bear.

As a grizzly owner, I know that when the front Diff is locked (as is stated in the description), the Grizzly is electronically limited due to the unsafe nature of fast driving with a fully locked diff. In a test like this, it will be bouncing off the rev limiter. This will cut power immensely. Bad set up.

yeah i got a 04 kodiak best thing i ever bought it handles great.

awd applies more power to certain wheels when they need it. it might have a different term for 4 wheelers idk. its 4wd if theyre all spinning at the same time. if you watch the video again and find out i would like to know. thanks.

its all about the weight and traction

@mrlonely199 Yes it lost because it was lighter then the canned-ham but lighter doesn't mean better.

It is a matter of traction not power. Give them both the same type or tires and size and then go for it.

What i love most about this vid is that if you look in the backround you see it is a atv dealer and this is how they treat the atv's you buy haha nice.

hey i was wondering I'm looking for a quad and I've found two that are in my price range a 2000 600 Yamaha grizzly or a 2006 650 can am which one do you think is the best choice?

I can pull any of those around with a 200cc 4x4, it all in how you stage it man!

Awesome!! Doesn't mean Yamaha is bad. It's just lighter.

awsome nice ride's

Exactly..and notice the 500 has more tire touching the ground ( wider )

aah damnit you are right watchin it a secong time you can see both sets of skid marks one just isnt as dark as the other...i'll admit when i'm wrong and you are right about the throttle control

@atvman101 it doesn't matter if the tires are stock, the tires on the grizzly have less grip because they have less surface area with Their tires. The can-am has more surface area, witch enables it to get better grip on the road. It's all about grip in this situation.

@luvmyctd my old renegade had a MRRPM 840bbk with 2nd gen cams and made 83hp to the rear wheels. i miss it but theres such thing as to much power.

Awesome!!

And change parts rarely you choose

i say my kodiak can haul a 700 grizz around like that all the time but try it in the dirt makes it a bit more interisting

now, do a Sportsman vs Outlander!!!!!

what kind of toaster did you film this with?

guys it also has to do with who started first......you see the guy on the right elevates his speed....creating high ammounts of energy on the chain making it very strong to pull back....the guy on the left was a little bit late so he realized he was being pulled back a little so he dumped his gas....making it even harder to pull the other guy back because the other guy no has all the gripp.....so the left guy dumping the gas also being pulled back a little he lost all his friction.......rewatch.

Holding on the breaks niceeee

@kevintomb Quite a good point there

Of these two quads (the Outlander 500 and Grizzly 700), the Grizzly is definitely the more powerful ATV. Even overall, Arctic Cat has Can-Am beat for the most power with their Thundercat 1000 H2.

Thanks for the vid, now I know which ATV will sink to the bottom of every mud hole ( the heavy ass Canned Spam) and which ATV will go right across the top ( the Grizz). Oh and good luck lifting either end of that lead sled out of the muck by yourself.

I LOLED SO SO HARD!!!!! THEY GUY IS LIKE "Where are you taking me bro you win"

the tire issues that some people are arguing are not even close to correct. on dirt or in mud, the can-ams tires are better because the paddle their way through. however, on pavement, there is nothing to paddle through, and those big treads just lift the quad off the ground. on pavement, traction boils down to friction, and the more rubber on the ground, the more friction, and in this case the yamaha has the advantage.

CanAm's blow... good thing I bought the lifetime warranty, because it has been in the shop more than my garage.

CanAm FTW. Love my Outlander.

was this flimed on a gameboy?

ya i know my mom won a can am in some thing in my town and i took it through a creek and we had to take it in for repairs right after

Lost as soon as you decided to light those tires up lol
