Not much of a win considering all the work on the KFX.
FST 715 vs Bone Stock Renegade 800

Well for you dis the KFX too much it is only a 715 kit. Carbs are really no big deal the CV carbs on the KFX stock are good for some potent HP up to a point, and the 715 kit is not that point yet. Looks like most of the time the race was 2-3 bike lenths. Not bad for a vehicle that is only 91 lbs lighter and with 85 less CC's. The Gade has the advantage of EFI the V does not.
Do not get me wrong I won't take anything awa from the Renegade. I may qite possible own one sometime. However, the style of riding and racing I do, refuse to use a Renegade for as I simply can't justify paying 10G's for a bike to go out and bounce off of trees and thrash the very first day out. For the price I paid for my V with Elkas, skids, bumpers and nerfs, I could buy 4 of them compared to what one Gade costs. This allows me to have a sport quad and a utility quad (Grizzly). Aint that everyone's dream?

nice video. my only comment is that in a race between (any) vehicles with similar performance and handling, the driver is a HUGE factor in the outcome. in a couple of those races, the guy on the gade is sitting straight up like he's not trying that hard. he also seems to back out of it a little where the trail narrows down. i would like to see the riders switch vehicles and see what their best times were on each one.
I agree. I would like to see the riders switch as well. Another consideration, was this video staged to endorse Dunlap? The Gade is no slouch, I have ridden both. Obviously I have more experience on the V. I have also raced next to a Gade and know what the outcome was, which is exactly how I would expect a SRA 2X4 machine to compare to a 4X4 utility.
