    What are your thoughts?
    Avid mx rider picking up a Grizzly 550, should I get one with EPS? The lady will also be riding it..
    When I was younger we always had 4x4's around to play with, I never had any issues with steering, and I haven't rode one yet with EPS.

    My parents have a 700 and a 550 both with power steering. It's great in 4wd. I rode my friend's700 without power steering and I could instantly tell how much better it is with it

    I own 2 Honda Foremans both have EPS. Just finished an elk hunt where we had over 12 inches of snow. My hunting partner has a Polaris without EPS and I had to move his around camp and I was amazed on how hard it was to steer his machine over mine with the EPS so I would have to say I highly recomend it.
