Independent rear suspension, a locking front differential and a host of other valuable features place the KingQuad 500AXi at the front of the pack. New for 2011: Champion Yellow and Great Blue color scheme; new black rims; front bumpers and racks feature new wrinkle paint finish for improved appearance and increased durability and scratch resistance.
