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.

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.
