Argo Avenger Test Ride

[Rock Doctor]

A Friend of mine got himself an Argo Avenger, so I had to go for a ride with him to see how it's working out. Really nice machine (other than the Hand Brake, I don't like that too much). Takes a little "getting used to" going to the Handle Bar type steering.
This is the reason that I am looking for bigger tires for my Conquest, the extra clearance of the Avenger makes quite a difference.
Here is a look at the trail we went for a ride on. There were also a couple Conquests on the trail with us.

Doc, looks like another excellent video and another day of fun with your argo. It's has got to be a blast to have such a great place to ride with freinds. That Avenger really looks nice. That is one of the vehicles I was strongly considering when I bought my Max

Looks like you are quite the pink Floyd fan

I am also a great pink Floyd fan

lol, I do like some of there stuff, but it's more that they have tunes long enough to fit the vids I have been making. It was a friend of mine that suggested them when I was crying about not having any fitting music to go with the vids.

I appreciate the info about the Avenger, they are really nice machines. The main reason I didn't buy one is there are no dealers in this area and I didn't want to lay out that much coin without giving a it real test drive. They are nice but they are also big and that's great for cargo, but a handicap in the woods. Still they look extremely nice and I believe they would do pretty well in the swamps of this area. Hey I would really like to know how the escargo tracks worked for you. They look awsome, but I am wondering if they put to much stress on the drive train. DAN

gearhead,
ROCKDOCTOR-I sold my CONQUEST with 920 hours on it and I found that if I went anywhere serious it needed tracks I used ESCARGO tracks though I had the plastic ones for winter too.I bought an AVENGER and in my opinion this machine is 3 times the machine my CONQUEST was and I use it without tracks .

Hi gearhead, It is quite an impressive machine. Do you have the fuel injected or carbed version. The one I was in is carbed, but still seems to have tons of power, we never shifted into low at all on that little ride we did.
I will probably stick with the Argos that I have for now, parts cost me almost nothing. I do like the extra clearance that the Avenger has, that really makes a big difference where I ride.

DOC, your videos are the best!

They are good! Takes some effort to keep the head from moving too much.

Escargo Tracks

Hey Rock Doctor...I just read your info that you sold your Conquest & that you had Escargo tracks. I also have a Conquest & am considering buying a set of Escargo tracks & would like to know, A: how you liked them., B: are yours for sale? & C: How much, if they are.

[Rock Doctor]

Hey Artist1018, I think what you read was a quote from gearhead that I put on one of my posts. I never sold any of my Argos, and I have never tried the escargo tracks (although I would really like to)
Later,

Thanks, Rock Doctor

Sorry for the boo boo on my part, I just emailed Gearhead in regards to the tracks. Thanks, Art
