Here is a overview of the specs between the Big Red, Pioneer 700, and Pioneer700-4.

Overall there is not a big difference beyond the body style, the "long travel suspension" and the seating arrangement on the 700-4.
Quick break down of differences.
- Front and Rear Suspension
- Rear brake size
- Front tire size
- Over all size
- Turning Radius
- Weight
- Fuel Capacity

We do find it disappointing that the small 25" tire size on the OEM Big Red will transition to the Pioneer. You will also notice that the rear brake caliper is smaller on the Pioneer models vs the BR.
