Picked up my 700-4 yesterday. I have heard the low end power and hill climbing sucks so I wanted to try it out. Couldn't find much but this hill. Was short but I stopped at the bottom. Had muddy bottom and the hill was wet, but was no issue going up

I think that was mostly the first year model that didn't have an O2 sensor and didn't do so well at high altitudes. I think the following year model they fixed the power issue.

I always had power to spare on my Rincon. I used to climb nearly straight up vertical bluffs along the MS river all the time. The only catch was that I needed to be in ESP so that it didn't go into 2nd gear about midway up and then shift back to 1st right as I was cresting the hill and jerk me bad enough to nearly wet myself. :)

I like that blue color. Very stand out.

I really hope you enjoy it @Dragon21. I really don't think you will have much trouble getting up anything that you want to. Last year I had my wife, father in law, and myself in the front of the 700. I'm the smallest at about 240lbs and they are both about 280lbs. In the back we had a cow elk and all our gear. We made it up a pretty gnarly hill at about 8000 ft elevation, that I was actually very nervous about because it had about 6 inches of snow on it and was way steeper then my liking. Needless to say the 700 never had a hiccup. It wasn't a ball of fire going up it, but it just kept climbing. Enjoy your new toy.

My 700-4 hasn't let me down yet. Traction wise maybe but not HP wise. 9e95e5ed5127b1343dcf1b612d577a19
