What's the most reliable ATV on the market?

Honda Rubicon, Polaris Sportsman, CFMoto CForce, Yamaha Grizzly, Suzuki King Quad, Kawasaki Brute Force, Can Am Outlander, or maybe a Kymco ATV?

I've got a 2000 Honda recon and a 2000 Honda Rancher 350 4x4. I've rolled them, crashed them, drowned them, and buried them. I've personally held them at wide open throttle doing donuts until they ran out of gas. The A arm bracket on the rancher broke off once after a crash. I welded it back on and kept going. They're slow and don't make much power, but I can't kill them. I can walk out there after they've sat for a year, pull the cord twice and they'll start with a dead battery. Never even had to rebuild a carb. Just brakes and oil changes. Two 21 year old quads that just keep going. Honda has sold me on their four wheelers for life.

I've got a grizzly 700, I got it brand new, and since then I've put 15, 000 hard kilometers on it, and it's been rolled and pinned under a tree in a tornado, I've never had to do nothing besides some bushings, brakes, and oil changes, and she still runs great, I will never ever tell anyone to buy anything else, not to mention my grandfather has a Kodiak 450 with 25, 000 km on it, still runs but not in the best shape

My dad bought a Yamaha big bear back in 1988. It still runs strong. Very few issues. I bought a honda rubicon In 2005 and it’s been a great machine. I bought a Polaris sportsman in 2017 and my dad bought a honda pioneer 700 side by side 2 years ago. Been relatively good machines . Few recalls. We haven’t really used them enough for an opinion. Only 1000kms on it now. Time will tell. All our machines serviced regularly.

Suzuki has amazing reliability on my experience. I bought my Suzuki Vinson new and beat it hard for 13 years and it just took it. I finally had a $300 4wd shift actuator go out but that is the only thing in 13 years of thrashing it besides common wear items like brake pads and wheel bearings. I will be buying another Suzuki.

I’ve always been a Suzuki fan. Bought a 2000 Suzuki King Quad 300 new back in ‘99. I still have it and it still runs like a champ with no engine or transmission issues. I’ve currently got 14, 600 Km (9062 Mi) on her and still going strong. I finally upgraded to 2019 Suzuki King Quad 750 SE+ (Bronze) in May of 2020. Currently have just over a 1000 Km (621 Mi) on her and loving it. Was going to sell my 300 KQ, but I couldn’t find it within myself to part ways with it.

Love my 2016 Honda Rancher 4TRX. Very reliable and have had zero issues with it since I purchased it new in 2016. I use it year around from -35F cold Winter days plowing snow to 95F days hauling firewood, skidding logs and pulling a variety of utility trailers. Works great on my 100 acres of woodland and wouldn't trade it except for a Rubicon.

I've owned nearly every brand on your list and I think you're spot on!

Still riding my 1987 Honda Foreman 350D bought new ! It’s been with me from coast to coast and in Alaska now .
My 350D has hauled out 7 bull moose 2 elk 6 deer 2 black bear and 2 wild boar and it is still with me pulling my Grumman 19’ canoe to the lake near buy ! No serious maintenance performed just fluid changes and air cleaner and a few plugs. I would love to have a new Honda but first I got wear this 1987 350D out
I get teased by the other riders about riding a vintage Honda but it’s so reliable and for me it’s good balance of weight and power for a 33 year old ATV still going strong ! I vote for Honda and the Suzuki King Quad 300 excellent beast with the Lockers and Low Range the Suzuki had.

I’ve had my Can am since 2016, since then have always been hooked with it and I haven’t had much issues with it yet and I use that little beast quite often. All I’ve changed so far was Battery, Regulator, And tires. For 7000 miles and 560hrs that’s not too bad. ALWYAS puts a smile on my face when i get on it 😈

[randyfarbowich]

i own Can-Am and Polaris ATV's for the past 30 years with very little problems. The key is to service your vehicle and keep it clean.

We bought a CFMoto CForce 800 last year, a brand new 2021 model. It has so far been flawless. We took the chance on it because we wanted a dedicated 2-up machine and the Arctic Cat and Can Ams that offer a 2 passenger design were both nearly double what we paid. Seeing how, as you mentioned, neither of those brands have top notch reliability reputations, i figured if it only lasted half as long as either of those I still didn’t lose money since I paid half as much. 🤔 We don’t abuse it, but we have certainly used it. It’s pulled trailers on the farm, and even towed a farm truck home when it broke down. It’s been solid so far.

Just picked up a 98 King Quad 300. I'm stoked to see everyone rave about the reliability of it and can't wait to get it out on the trails! The thing is an absolute tractor in super low. Should be pretty fun.

Thank you for not blackballing CFMOTO in your review many other sites refused to review them in fair comparison I own a Chinese and North American machine I love them both the machines have been a bright spot in my life but CFMOTO starting price got me into the sport a few years ago thanks for your awesome review I'm binge-watching and subscribed😊

I sell Honda Yamaha and Kawasaki for a living and I would say that Yamaha is the most reliable in all Powersports. Good to see the video!

2010 Polaris Sportsman 500 HO. I bought this machine brand new and its been nothing but trouble since. Pinched wires to bad fuel pump and everything in between. Also bought a used 2006 Yamaha Kodiak 400 that was driven hard and wrecked, end over end collision and lots of body damage but it runs great and not a single problem in 6 years that I've owned it and I run it at least twice a week.

[mzondi]

I looked at several and bought the Honda mainly because I am a Honda person but I love my 520 Rubicon it goes plenty fast for what I do and so far seems to be a great trail machine like having a mountain goat to ride around

I’ve had a 2007 KingQuad 700 which I bought it brand new. I have put it through some very tough terrain and it’s held up like a champ. I would absolutely buy another KingQuad in a second. Great channel bro.

[Norseman]

Very happy with my 2005 Yamaha Grizzly 660. Not had any problems in the 17 years (7500km) I've had it.

My dad owned a 2007 Polaris sportsman it’s been sunk before, after a couple of oil changes it was fine other than the dash getting fried. I’ve owned a 1999 Yamaha Timberwolf that’s never had problems even been sunk with no issues after, I now own a 2007 grizzly 700 got it used and it was abused hard, basically new intake idler boot, rerunning some wires, all the bushings and bearings, but it still ran and drove with all that wrong it’s a great machine and extremely reliable
