Comparing 2006 Polaris Predator 500 Troy Lee Edition vs 2020 Honda FourTrax Foreman Rubicon 4x4 EPS — Common Questions

Which has the most powerful engine?
The 2020 Honda FourTrax Foreman Rubicon 4x4 EPS has the largest displacement at 518cc, making it the most powerful in this comparison. A larger engine generally means more torque for towing and off-road work.
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.
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.
