Drop the sway bars!
I've had it off the back. Definitely more flex and different ride but then this happened.

so how is the 700 different than the x2? louder, heat, more leg room, more vibration? what else? @CumminsPusher @Plumber32 @Choogsbro

Less power obviously. But R-Spec to R-Spec, the 700 has another inch of suspension travel. The X2 doesn't have the overheat issue, radiator mud guards come from the factory, payload and towing capacity are higher. I'll need the other guys to say if there is anything else.

No heat what so ever, yes its louder, better suspension. More leg room, wider stance.

Only going on what I've heard. Original is a more comfortable ride and more cab room. X2 is very quiet and has more power. To me I was very disappointed that they didn't put the 850 in the original R-spec. To me that would be the very best trail machine out there. Just my opinion. For the life of me I don't know why they lessened the travel.

The other thing that I can't understand is the speed limiter. Out of the box the original has a higher top end. If you buy either I would install a JBS sheave and slug the clutch. I've done it to my Rhino and to my Wolvy. Makes it a totally different machine. Just my opinion.

In my opinion they should of just put the 850 in the existing chassis, but it's got plenty of power.
From the outside they don't even look much different, but everything is different. I would have liked them to keep the original chassis as well. It is exactly the same as the X4 so maybe they needed to make the changes for the extra 2 seats.

The Weller ECU flash does away with the limiter.
