This is the machine that I see dominatiton the cross country circut if the weight dosent hold them back to much. The added ground clearance alone will allow a rider so many more choices in the lines that they can take.

My prediction is this machine will be a flop.

I think it will be bought by the sport market that likes to trail ride.

considering bombardier basically owns the cross country racing quad market with the ds650.... and they are also coming out with an all new IFS sport quad 450.... i dont think this machine will be a flop... i can see it being a major competitor.. and i personally cannot wait to try out one of the new bb450 IFS bikes, i thought the ds was soft!

I wouln't be surprised if most sport bikes were IRS in a few years.. As long as the weight is not too excessive and the body roll is ok, then for XC racing I'm sure it can't be beat.... Although I bet the die hard MX riders will still want the solid axle to save weight.

I think thats who they built them for..

I don' think they were built to compete on an MX track. Instead, I think it is meant to be a lighter, faster, smoother-riding machine than the 2wd Scrambler.
