The Vinson leads the way in the sport-utility category and continues in this vein for 2006.
The newest Vinson 4X4 automatic is back with new wrinkle-finish racks, a powerful engine, and all the features you've come to expect from Suzuki QuadRunner ATVs. The Vinson 4x4 automatic is available in red, black, or green as well as Advantage® Max-4 HDTM camouflage (LT-A500FC) -- perfect for hunters and outdoorsmen looking for the ultimate sport-utility, off-road machine.
The Vinson QuadRunner utilizes a durable 493cc four-stroke, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder, SOHC, four-valve engine. It's equipped with a gear-driven balancer shaft for reduced vibration and is designed for high torque output and quick acceleration. Power is transferred through a fully automatic QuadMatic V-belt transmission
with continuously variable gear ratio, centrifugal automatic clutch and a two-speed sub-transmission. This last includes a reverse gear and an advanced engine braking system to reduce downhill speeds.
Choose from 2WD or 4WD with the convenient handlebar-mounted electric pushbutton system.
The Vinson also comes equipped with a torque-sensing limited-slip front differential for smooth, efficient power while in 4WD mode. In-gear starting allows for quick and easy re-starts regardless of transmission setting. A compact digital instrument display provides all necessary rider information, including speedometer, odometer, twin tripmeters, clock, digital fuel gauge and gear position.
The strong and lightweight Vinson frame utilizes large-diameter, thin-walled tubing for maximum strength and minimal weight. The front suspension is double A-arm style with five-position, preload-adjustable shocks that provide 7.1 inches of wheel travel and maximum ground clearance (9.8 in.). A swingarm-type
rear suspension uses a single preload-adjustable shock for 7.9 inches of travel.
Lightweight, cast-aluminum wheels are mounted. Large 190mm disc brakes slow things at the front, while a single 216mm disc handles braking at the rear. A lightweight skid plate and bumper guards are also mounted to provide maximum protection with minimal resistance over rocks and other obstacles. New wrinkle-finish high-capacity racks are included on both front and rear of the ATV for ancillary items.
Other features include bright, fender-mounted, multi-reflector headlights, large taillight/brake light combo, and an additional 40-watt handlebar-mounted headlight. A 325-watt charging system and a 12V/120W electrical outlet are mounted to the front fender with standard automotive style outlets for the use of a wide range of electrical accessories.
The '06 Vinson QuadRunner, Suzuki's 500cc sport-utility QuadRunner complete with aggressive styling, plus all the features, performance and versatility that set it ahead of the competition in every way.
