Thinking about a Brand New 2021 550 STRIKE Thoughts???

Recommended Posts

Hi all, never have owned a UTV before. I was looking at a small Honda 500 UTV but when I went to the dealership, they had a ton of Hisun 550 Strikes & Sectors. Started doing some research on Hisun and it sounds like a decent starter utv. I will be doing some light trail riding and mostly street riding. 

What should i be looking for and is Hisun that good of a brand? CFMOTO's seem similar to Hisun's too.  

Strike 550 was $8,500 new. 

 

Thanks!

just from the problems with HiSun on this forum only, i'd stay away from Anything HiSun.... CF moto,  (massimo now made by*Linahi* so they may be better) and Benneche are all made by hisun if i remember right.

Go with the Honda, you'll be glad you did, if their 500 is anything like their other products,.

Actually, the Massimo's are now made by Linhai.  Although the grill on my TBoss550 says Massimo, there are Linhai stamped parts everywhere else.  But agree with Travis, alot of Hisun owners reporting problems here.

Buy something with good factory support. The forum is packed with people who have difficult mechanical issues, with these cheaper UTVs. Problems that would be much easier to solve, if the factory only had provided a decent level of customer support. 

Buy once, and cry once. Buy a cheap UTV, and it'll be everything it needs to be, until it breaks down. Then you may  have real problems.

      Hello friends,
      I got my ODES Ravager UTV yesterday and after a couple of hours of driving when I go downhill I heard a strange loud noise a couple of times, like a gear skipping or maybe something from the differential.
      It doesn't always happen and when it does it is heard for a few seconds and then it goes away and everything works normally, I'm worried if there could be some major malfunction or what could be the problem if someone can help me?
      Thanks a lot.

      At the end of last year my Coleman UT 500 will not go into reverse. I can hold it over toward the reverse to move it nut it won't lock into reverse. Anyone have this problem? Winter is just about over and going to have to get this resolved. Thank You!

      My 2018 Hisun sector crew engine cut off after about 15 minutes run. There is no indicator of what is wrong, no error code just die and won't restart until it cool down. I notice that the fan is not running but the temp indicator is on low temp, no overheat indicator. I checked the radiator fluid, it is cool to touch.
      Cooling fans are working, I can hear it running once awhile if I can get the engine warm up enough.  Thank you for all the help.
