Yes, we liked this TRV 550 Cruiser: it boldly combines the qualities of a 2-up, utility and trail ATV with those of a sportier model. True, the engine isn’t the most expressive in the class, but its ease of use and efficiency ensure a degree of versatility that’s hard to match. On the job, there’s enough torque to haul heavy loads around; over obstacles, its linearity ensures optimal traction; on the trail, its smoothness prevents fatigue; and in attack mode, despite its stature, it begs to carve out corners and is a blast. What’s more, the complete list of equipment (the first manufacturer to offer factory-installed heated hand grips) make this a sensible buy for wintertime
