Best tranny for trail riding/hills/woods

Nice man. So the 150s have the CVT auto. The 125s have just a regular auto? I've heard that the CVT belts are hard to maintain. How is the CVT different than the auto on the 125s?

Also, I've never seen an atv with a cage or a canopy. Or was that picture just to show the hill?

That was just to show the hill. We had made it to the top and I took a picture of someone who followed us up. It just goes to show you the you don't have to spend $15-20,000 to climb a hill. lol

I will second Jerry's thoughts about the 150 with the CVT being able to go up whatever I have needed it to. I have two Kandis with that set up and purposely have tried to find climbs it couldn't do. I weigh 170#s and have had no problems getting up some tough grades.

It also has a lot of pulling power. I have towed a 550 grizzly at least a 1/4 mile threw some trails and another time a 150cc buggy. Impressive for its size. I fabricated a hitch so I can hook a tow strap to it with a shackle. Don't mine the dirt. I took this picture after riding the spillway. Lots of wet sticky sand.

Thanks guys. So can someone explain the auto on a 125 to the CVT auto on the 150s. Like mechanically and which is "better"? Thanks

I think the fully automatics are both the same - CVT.

I'm not sure how the 125's are set up. In two years I have not had any problems with the belt. Now I jinx myself and it will more than likely break now that I said that lol.
