Sounds like it’s time to redo the budget 500 class shootout 😎
Pretty impressed, I am a Yamaha guy, but this might warrant a serious look for my next Quad. Just need to see that it takes a Snowplow. I’m personally not worried about lots of amenities. I a more worried about build quality and total power train quality. This has to compete with Yamaha. If it does I will have one.
I have a 500 xrt, deal came with plow, heated grips for the driver, windshield and 3000lb warn winch. pushes the plow fine up here in North Bay.
@@jenkemchuck any issues with the quad so far?
Stay with Yamaha.
I have a bad boy onslaught 550 same thing been smashing on it hard. The only problem was boot clamp fell off new clamp good to go. 1300 miles so far mine is 2016
Nice review . Thanks for the new content . I wouldn't mind testing one of these out . Was there no adjustment in the suspension ?
Did you forget to mention Suzuki and textron? Their still in the game.
Kountry Quads but Honda Polaris and Yamaha are the mostly popular
Does it really have at least 13" of GC?
You forgot that the Suzuki Kingquad is a competitor as well.
I love my Kingquad!
Ironically, you can't get these ATV's at any of the Argo dealers around Nova Scotia. So much for the dealer network you mentioned. I contacted Argo and told them nobody around here seems to carry their ATV's and they referred me back to the dealers that don't carry them. Duh! Very disappointed.
I bought a 2001 Arctic Cat 300 4x4 with plow for serious long steep driveway. Mine only 300 but had hi, low, and super low ranges, still working good, serviced self. Wonder if this would be as reliable, my Arctic Cat has Suzuki motor, bought new , 21 years old
So where's the snorkelled version? Odd Argo wouldn't have that option...I'd be all in if it did..
I want a snow plow for my Argo. No one has the Argo noted , what plow works?
My understanding is they do not have many dealers. I have one about a hr from me that seem legit
This isn’t a review, it’s a paid advertisement. You also forgot to mention that these are rebranded Taiwanese (tgb) atv’s, but I’m sure Argo didn’t pay you to say that.
looks just like the quads from tgb...
hmm.. i wonder why
Because the are just rebadged
Lol. They "look" like them. But look closer.. you will see huge differences!
Dirt tracks failed to mention it's a rebranded chineese ATV you can buy the same atv with a different badge on it for half the price.
canam parts are manufactured in china and assembled in mexico and sold in canada and the us but look at their atvs.
And this is why I didn't buy a Caned ham. Anything made in china is junk.
The Drafter lol I have a Polaris and a Honda I was just talking about the sales aspect.
It's from Taiwan--not junk
@@culcune exactly. Taiwan is not China. Shows how dumb some people are
Are this amphibious too?
TGB re-branded atv's is not breaking into the market with innovation.If Argo really wants to make a statement then go after the sport quad market and also introduce 2-stroke sport quads and then you will get some attention and turn some heads.
Ya, like two stroke sport quads are realistic. Have you heard of global warming and all the government regulations regarding emissions?
Can it drive across a lake?
Did Jesus walk on water?
Does anyone know if they sell a snorkel
You can get a good snorkel at Canadian Tire. Depending on store if summers over they may have moved upstairs until spring, if you ask nicely they will get you one, I got swimmers ear plugs in winter, took her a while to find
You missed a spot on your chine when you were shaving. Looks awful
* chin not chine lol
Looks kinda cheap made but good to see a new brand of atvs
It has less plastic then major brands.. better frame. 2" reciever and real metal racks
These are not cheaply made for wheelers by any stretch. They’re built very solid I own a 2018 Argo XR 500 and I found absolutely no issues. The ground clearance at 13 inches is legit and this four wheeler will go through anything.
Sounds like a paid review
Argo dealer network? What network? In my 51 years I have never seen an Argo dealer. I thought they where a dead novelty company from the 1960's. With that being said, I would not give Argo a serious look, since there are no dealers around so parts availability is likely sketchy at best. Aftermarket parts are likely non existent. I personally wouldn't spend the cash on an Argo, the company name is just not mainstream at all so Ill stick to the Jap brands since they have stayed in the game much longer and have a better network, not to mention the reputation the jap bikes have for reliability. Way to many unknowns to go with a name like Argo. I hilighy doubt it could keep up with and be as dependable as my Kawasaki or any of the Honda or Yamaha bikes I have owned.
The Drafter yeah they're ATVs are shit boxs but the 6x6s are very dependable
@@joebob7291 Their ATVs are very good. I own a 2018 Argo XR 500 and have absolutely no issues with it. The ground clearance is legit at 13 inches. And the building quality is no joke. These things are built to last and will go though anything!
and the Jap machines are way more expensive. It is relative to how hard one rides them as well
So grab a Honda put studded tires and Plow with it and when that thin light weight square tube frame cracks try to get warranty , its crazy how people think that every ATV should do it all. A high Lift will kill a mud hole with paddles but it will not be a good trail rig .A submarine hmm nope , and when some 20s yr old pounds the hell out of a machine and it somehow breaks it a piece of crap LOL . Abuse or use and some maintenance helps.Yrs ago made in Japan was the plague, just you watch China is already setting the table,and Taiwan manufacturing is quicker to adapt and integrate change . A lot of Japanese manufactures are playing catch up or give up .
just my opinion
Straight axel rear.
No thanks.
TGB shit fake !??
I owned a TGB Outback 4x4. Piece of shit quad that cant handle its own weight. Good bye Argo.
I agree my friend has one and when I drove it vibrated me to pieces. The only thing that was half impressive was the sound it makes. The clutching on them seems awfull and there stupidly heavy
Lol.. it kicks polaris ass.. I have tested it on every level against a 2022 polaris and my argo is a 2018
@@jtomkinson9013 I own a 2018 XR 500 and this four wheeler‘s bad ass. It’s built really well it feels very solid ride on and it will go through anything. The ground clearance is legit and the tires are absolutely awesome.
