Purchasing new sxs, need input on prowler and rhino

If You Look @ Sheer Numbers The Rhino Is The Most Popular. The 2008 700 EFI Should Be Awesome. I Don't Like The Cage On The Arctic Cat. There Are Arctic Cat Owners On Here Who Love Their Cats. I Think It Is Like Ford & Chevy It Is Just What You Like.

There is also a ton of aftermarket parts for the rhino, might have to search alot harder to find things for the cat...

Rhino is more Popular
Cat is less expensive to get into
Rhino has more aftermarket right now
Cat is catching up quickly
Rhino is a 660 cc
Cat is a MORE powerful 650cc
Rhino is slender and fits down skinny trails
Cat is Wide and more stable
Rhino cost $1400 plus to get 10" of ground clearance
Cat is 10" stock

My choice is The Cat..........

I love my Artic Cat, rides better stock than a stock rhino, and its faster! I would like to get a better sounding deep exaust though, sounds kinda utilitarian stock. It did great in the sand for a big heavy sidebyside!

Are You Sure About Those Figuires? I Have More Than 10" Of A Clearance & All I Did Was Add 26" ITP Tierracross Tires With ITP 14" Rims, $700. How Is The Reliablity? The Only Problem I Have Had In A Year Of Use Is Plugged Fuel Filters. We Have Abused Our Rhino In Rocks , Dirt & Sand. No Mud, Yet.

Thanks for the input. Also want to know everyones opionion if I should wait on the fuel injected models.

If You Don't Mind Waiting & The Cost Difference Isn't To Large The EFI Is The Way To Go. Way More Efficient Than Carbueration.

Ok DD I will agree with you on that one..... Arctic Cat came out with a EFI model for 2008, not sure if Rhino is.

The Rhino Is A 700 CC EFI For 2008. It Is Also Supposedly Quieter In The Cab, Which Is Good Because The 2007 Is Very Noisy. It Also Has Improved Brakes & A Better Parking Brake.
