Hey everybody, i currently have a raptor 700 and i am seriously thinkin about switchin to a renegade 800xc. I feel i would enjoy it more for what type of riding i do. I was wonderin if any of you guys that own one could gibe me some feed back. I rode a demo in the dunes once and fell in love with it and i hope its just as immpressive on other terrain. So any feed back would be great. Pros and cons would be nice, thanx

You came to the right place.

B-dubya hopefully will chime in and point you in the right direction.

I've got an 09 800-X with a lot of work done to it. I grew up on 2 stroke 3 wheelers, then got an 07 Grizzly 700. Because of the pwoer I was used to, I had to have something a little more racey, but utility enough to still pull a trailer around the yard. Sold the Grizz, bought my Gade brand new. Although the 09 doesn't have power steering, it really isn't necessary on these machines I don't think. However, I guess it would be nice to have if given the option.

All that being said, I love the Gade and everything about it. The seat is very comfortable so you can ride for hours on end without feeling like you've spent 10 years in teh saddle, and the power is always there when you need it. Believe me, going from a Raptor to a Gade, you will not be disappointed.

I hope that helps!
