We had the opportunity this week to test the limits of Ramsey Winch’s ATV3000 Winch.

As classic early spring weather in Canada would dictate, there was plenty of muck to wade through on our mid week ATV adventure through the back trails of Ontario’s North. An especially challenging mire left our 700 Sportsman about 50 feet from solid earth and 2 feet deep in cake batter that completely covered the tires!

Luckily, this machine was equipped with an ATV3000 Winch. This winch has the most innovative and invaluable feature a stuck rider could ever ask for: wireless remote. The hand held remote allowed our swamped rider (yours truly) to focus on throttle and steering while a second member of the group secured the cable to a strong foothold on shore and slowly wound the cable back pulling our Sportsman out of the soup.

If we hadn’t had the ATV3000 Winch with us on this ride, we’d still be digging our ATV out today.

Yamaha has made big hay with the Grizzly 660 the past four model years. This fun and powerful ATV continues to sell in huge numbers. However, we think Yamaha is not getting all they can from the growing Big Bore Sport Utility marketplace with only one model in the segment.

Polaris has four (600, 700 carb, 700 EFI, 800 EFI), Kawasaki has three (Brute Force 650, 750 and KVF Prairie 700), Suzuki has two (KingQuad 700 and Twin Peaks) and Arctic Cat has two (650 Vee Twin and 650 H-1) big bore models.

We’re looking for the Grizzly to be around for some time in the future but we suspect it will be joined by a more potent and feature laden model very soon.

Look for at least a 700 to 750cc IRS, 4×4 with all the stuff you’ve come to know and love on the current Grizzly plus… EFI.

Unison’s Black Widow’s agressive styling compliments an oil-cooled 4-stroke 150cc engine with automatic transmission. The sporty look and responsive throttle feel great while enhancing the rider’s off-road skills.

This ATV offers many great features including:

* Electric Start
* Back up kick start
* Foot and hand breaks
* Double A-arm suspension up front
* Swing Arm suspension in the back
* Uniquely styled nerf bars
