also does it have a horn?

The Bull has the 169cc gy6 engine which has a cooling fan. The Rhino has the cg200cc engine which doesn't.

It has a cooling fan because the cylinder head is at the back of the engine... horizontal. In that configuration it doesn't get much air cooling.

The Rhino is a vertical engine... the cylinder gets air cooled when you move.

A horn can be added to any ATV.. not really a selling point. I'm curious to see if they offer a 200+ cc ATV that has some of the new features in the near future.

The new ones are sharper looking.... would hold out for the bigger engine versions though.

Actually, the cylinder head is on the front of the engine. And the cooling fan is there because the GY6 design has forced air cooling. There is a shroud around the head fully boxing it in. Air is pushed around the cylinder by the fan. You have to remember those motors were designed for a scooter, which the motor is in the back in those and gets zero air flow, hence the forced air cooling. The engines are FANTASTIC. My daughters 2005 Kymco Mongoose 90 has been very reliable and is going strong to this day. Keep the oil changed in them and keep that fan intake CLEAN! Weeds, grass, dirt, etc. LOVES to collect there. And every now and then take that cover off and clean it and the fan.

My bad. Thanks for clarifying.

A horn is really helpful when you're riding with a group, especially with new riders. It's a lot easier to get someone's attention by beeping the horn than trying to yell through a full faced helmet.

Yeah I agree. It's one of the easiest things to add to your existing ATV though. Just not a selling point for me.

The alloy rims though do look really nice. Wish mine had that option.

Agreed. Nice wheels. Looks like TT is stepping up their game. I wonder if it has front disk?

PANDEMIC · 03-01-2018, 02:26 PM

Yes, disc all around.. I just wanted to know about the horn because my daughters Apollo Blazer 9 came with one. Her atv also has all metal footrests no plastic on them at all, and the frame is thick. Way more than the TaoTao frames I saw at Q9powersports in Madison, WI. But the Apollo quads only come in Mid-size frame with 125cc motors. So a TaoTao for dad it is.
