Easier steering machines, less rider fatigue are all great, but what are some of the down falls? If smaller and weaker people are able to ride biger machines, in my mind that spells disaster. One of the things that should be parimount in a persons mind when buying a quad is "if the quad was on top of me how can I get it off?" Rollovers are never good but they do happen from time to time and need to be concidered. Another problem that may be lurking on the horizon: What happens when someone has their quad in 4x4 with the front axle locked up? Does the increased ability to turn sharp while both axles are locked up with less steering resistance mean that there are going to be more transfer case or front end failures since the rider isn't fighting a miachine that really wants to go straight?
