I totally get where you’re coming from—starting with the SRA vs. IRS debate is tough! I think going with IRS is a solid choice for overall comfort and handling, especially if you’re planning on some trail riding or longer rides.
As for the transmission question, I’ve ridden a few models with both the DCL and Ultramatic. In my experience, the Ultramatic tends to be a bit smoother and more responsive, especially in more technical or varied terrain. It shifts seamlessly and doesn’t require as much thought while riding, making it easier for beginners and those who just want to enjoy the ride without worrying too much about shifting gears manually.
That being said, the DCL is a great option too, especially if you want a more traditional riding experience. It offers more control in some situations, like when you’re tackling steep hills or rougher trails. But it can be a little more challenging to get used to if you’re new to quads.
The Kodiak 700 does get a ton of love online, and for good reason! It’s a great mix of performance, reliability, and comfort. The Honda models are definitely solid too—known for their durability and ease of maintenance, so it really comes down to what kind of ride you’re after. The Kodiak 700 might be a bit more fun in terms of power and ride quality, but the Honda is tough to beat for long-term reliability.
Hope that helps a bit! Let me know if you have any more specific questions—I’d love to share more about my experience.
Cheers!
