Trail riding plus 5" = hurt trees

I run 50" summer and 52" in winter trail riding with no problems. Its just a matter of getting used to it to avoid damage.

:wow

Can't do that down here. Most southern trails (harescramble trails at least) will hit below 50". We rub in places at 46". Scary when your going 30+ through the trails.

Harescramble trails would definitly warrant a narrower quad.

WI state trails are required to be 8 feet wide . Not really a problem for us.

Way over here in AZ, most of the desert tracks I've raced you could drive a jeep through, But if you do hit a tree down here, it bites you.
