I current own a 06 Suzuki Eiger 4x4 MANUAL (no cvt belt drive)
took a Grizzly 700 for a ride, LOVED IT
would love to trade in my Eiger on one
BUT I have issues with the CVT Belt Drive on the Grizzly
all the past belt drives fail to put up to the rough abuse I put on an ATV, but Yamaha claims their CVT Belt Drive is better and won't slip.
What says you?
I use my Suzuki Eiger as a log skidder, and I haul a heavy duty trailer, will the belt drive Grizzly handle that?
 
I've been working on the Artic Cat stuff for about 7 years now and we just don't see any problems with the CVT, it's the half shafts and differentials you need to keep your eye on, or at least with the 700 ACs things are just downright brutal. they make a 1000 also but we only see that engine in the prowlers here in CA. why anyone needs to go 75 mph in a UV is beond me
