  • Just Ordered a 2008 Argo Avenger

    I just ordered a new 08 avenger today. I ordered it with the rubber tracks, windshield, top, alt kit, and the 31hp efi. I have always like the look of the argos. I owned a 2000 max4 back in 2000. I sold it in 02. I di like it alot but at the time had to get rid of it. I went to test drive the new avenger and had to have one. I know they are limited slip, but with some expirence i'm sure it will get me anywhere I want to go. there are 6 of us in the family so I needed the room. One question I have is how fast do the 31hp machines go. I have never heard anyone mention the speed.

    Top Speed of Avenger

    Kovac- I think maybe our Avengers are a tad slower on the top end compared to a 25 horse air cooled Max iv- but its close and when you open the efi up it takes off like a Brama bull, I love it. I think maybe you can see trees shiver as you go by. I didn,t get the tracks or plow this year but I am all set to mount an outboard when the spring comes. Happy riding.

      top speed

      thanks for the reply. My max was an 18 hp and would only do 20mph max. I was hoping for a little more than that. is yours the 08 also?

        Congratulations on the purchase, that is one bad ride! Definitely post up some pictures when you get it.

        As for your Max IV I'm surprised it only went 20. My Max IV is a couple of MPH faster than my Max II and it has the 18hp.

          No my Avenger is the 2007 The 2008 gets a new hand pulled parking break. I will be pleased to hear how that works. Did your Maxiv have the 26" tires? Mine is a tad faster than 20 mph with the 25 hp. I think the 25 s got a higher speed clutch like the 27 and 29s. After you get used to the tranny you will like the Avenger for sure. I miss the T 20 but the Avenger is so stable, so easy to go down steep hills,goes up short steep hills a 6 wheeler couldn't and swims like a barge on steroids. See u-tube-Big birds Argo.

            What kind of price are you given for it ? It has everthing that I want on mine. Why did you go with rubber tracks, I was thinking of going with the super tracks. I have a 2003 conquest 8x8 with reg. tracks on it. I am going to sell it and then start looking real hard for a 08 avenger. Thanks Cougar

              options

              it is costing me 24k. I ordered the rubber tracks because i have read they are much smoother and better in the snow.

                  avenfer arrived

                  Just got my new avenger 750EFI. I havn't done anything yet but pull it in the garage, and start reading the manuals. I have to tell this thing looks very impressive. I looked it over and as a former max 4 owner this lookes far better biult. I have no idea about performance, as I'm sure with the true 6 wheel drive the max would probably do a little better in mud (not sure with an expirenced driver however). But as far as built I believe the avenger has the max beat hands down. Very heavy duty. I have alot of work to do putting everything together. Tracks, windshield, top, hand rails, and rear light kit. Thank god I had them put in the alternator kit. I can't wait to take this baby out.

                    Ok, where's the pics? You build us up, get everyone excited for you and then...nothing.

                    I'm kidding, congratulations on getting it. I can't believe you didn't take it for at least a spin around the yard. I'm sure you probably won't be able to sleep tonight wanting to go out riding. Have fun!

                          Jim Shockey

                          I think he ordered just a Avenger 750 EFI not the Jim Shockey Signature Series. Thanks Cougar

                            Were you asking about the Jim Shockey series? I didn't see that.

                              Does anyone know where they put the factory heater in the avenger?
