Reno Chris Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Here is what you need to get way back in on those mountain or desert roads before you begin your hike so you can really get into remote areas. Pretty sure I will be getting one soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Watkins Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Chris who makes that quad, is it Coleman? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelton Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Yamaha Rhino model, but you can choose other brands like Canam, Polaris or Artic Cat etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I am fairly sure they are Chinese clones made by a company named Hisun http://www.mckinneyedc.com/ArchiveCenter/ViewFile/Item/98 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Walls Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 They do get you into some very remote areas, but be very careful with those off brand UTV's. Remember if something goes wrong with it out there, you have to get it out. I would stay with the top brand names when it comes to off road vehicles. Far easier to get parts for, and most are dead nuts reliable. Some of those off brand vehicles are pretty dangerous, made with very cheap parts.

Reno Chris Posted August 15, 2014 Author Share Posted August 15, 2014 Yeah, its a Coleman. If you click on the photo, you can see the Coleman logo at the back of the vehicle. Ken, I would agree with you in general as far as off brand Chinese vehicles. However this is a bit different. It is branded by Coleman, and sold and guaranteed by Cabelas. As Shelton says, it is a Chinese copy of a Yamaha model. Cabelas has a contract with a local ATV repair shop here in Reno and I actually talked to the guy who does the repairs and he says he has no problem getting parts and has no unusual level of problems in seeing them break down. Both Cabelas and Coleman have a brand name to maintain and so I figure they would be hesitant to sell stuff that was really junk - and they have sold these for years. However I agree you can buy cheap no-name Chinese stuff that is junk, especially direct off the internet. I test drove one here at the local Cabelas, and it seemed fine at least for the test drive - No glaringly obvious problems anyway. I think Steve is right as far as the actual maker.

Ridge Runner Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 I've look at ones that is made in China by China-Man. I'd have to go with what Ken said and that is stick with a name brand. Look out for the dealers that are on the top of a hill. I talk with one dealer that sold China's ATV and he said that he gave a warranty not at all from China. If he didn't he couldn't sale a one. Another thing you need to think about is getting parts. Chuck Anders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like Rhino. Don't buy any China vehicles. The are crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredmason Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 The way in is easy; the walk out is hard when they break-down...get the most reliable, dependable toy you can afford. A suzuki samuri is another option and street legal too. fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
