You gonna yank ole NH off the couch for a ride?


If it were my only ride, maybe, but its not, so its staying bone stock to preserve the handling. I still have the KQ700 with the XTRs if I wanna play in the muck. Way I figure, I have a very sweet general trail machine, and an accomplished mudder to choose from. I threw 27s on the first Rinny. It certainly increased 4X4 capabilities, but is destroyed the handling/agility and definitely robbed some power. The overall ride suffered enough, I wish I had never done it. Basically, the point in choosing the Rincon for a second ride was to have a comfy SUV, as well as a Humvee sitting in the garage.

As for ole NH, he'll probably ride the Rincon. It'll keep his old bones out of the chiropractor's office.

Taking her out for a maiden voyage in the morning. Riding with some more old bones straddling a Rancher 350 4WD. Shouldn't be too hard to keep up lol.


i wanna go!!!
If you are looking for a tire that is light and also strong take a look at the Maxxis 4 speeds I have them on my 08 Renagade.

Thanks Bruce. Once I put some puncture holes in the stockers, I will keep that in mind.


2010 Honda Rincon, Red, Bone Stock
2005 Suzuki King Quad, Yellow, also bone stock.

Willie; you remind me of one of my favorite Led Zeppelin songs, "Ramble On".

Didn't you're Renagade come stock with ITP holeshot ATR'S? I can't believe you could have worn then out already. I thought you just got that Renagade recently? I've had mine for almost two years, and love them. Not one flat(except for rolling one off the rim) and the wear is exceptional. Chris they would also be a good choice for you're Rincon. Their only slightly heavier than stock, but the overall benefits, are well worth it.

I still have the ATR's I just wanted a tire that was Taller to improve the clearance. I also got a great buy on the buy on the 4 speeds $247 delivered on Ebay.

I didn't want the red when I got my Rincon, but I have seen where a guy heat gun removed all of the stickers from his red Rincon and bought those racing graphics and applied them in a way that looked really cool. I've tried other tires on my Rincon, but have kept the stockers (some recently replaced from buying the take offs from the Honda shop) and always seem to put them back on to juice up the ride. The wheel and rim combo are the lightest I have ever seen, and give the Rincon its best performance.

all they had in stock was red, and they're all brown when I done with them anyways. As for tires, sticking with the stockers til I wear em out. If I wanna go swamping, I'll take the King Quad. Even with mudders on the Rinny, the King still dominates in the slop and snow in every conceivable way.
