Can-Am did not struggle as much as the KingQuad did over big rocks and rough
terrain.

If Suzuki incorporated independent
suspension with longer suspension
on all four corners of the 400 ASi,
beefed up the motor by 50cc, and sold
it at the same price it goes for at the
moment, then it would be a close call
against the Outlander L. At this point,
we will just have to patiently wait for
such things and hope they make it
happen soon! It’s machines like this
Can-Am Outlander L 500 and the
Polaris Sportsman 570 that will make
old air-cooled, straight-axle 4x4s from
Suzuki and Honda obsolete. This style
of machine has already disappeared
from Yamaha’s and Kawasaki’s lineups, and it’s for good reason. They
simply do not provide the same level
of comfort and control that a fully
independent-suspension 4x4 ATV
does.
