ARGO has pulled way too much talent from Cat and Polaris over the last few years to still be pushing kymco and TGB rebranded units. They need to stop letting the engineers hold back new product and get their own stuff to market. They have the talent to disrupt, they just need to get to market with it. Let’s go!!
@dirttrax I think you should be honest about who makes ATV's. Saying this is an Argo is like saying a Tracker is their own brand, or that the Alterra 300 and Brute Force 300 arent Kymco's with custom plastics. And to be honest, Argo should want you to be honest because this is just a Kymco MXU 700 and a monkey can see that. To be fair, we can be upfront to say Kymco was a division of Honda eons ago and they do make good reliable products. Kymco should stop selling rebranded ATV's and just sell under their own name. I wonder if you were to take the numbers for all Kymco made machines, where they'd place in the top manufacturers.
My buddy had a new 2014 if I'm not mistaken Honda FourTrax nothing but electrical problems he wasted thousands of dollars purchasing that bike.. and he regretted the purchase
I used to think Honda cars were so great. So much hype. My first three cars were Hondas. I used up all 4 of my AAA,CAA tows one year on them. Since I've gotten rid of them I've never been stranded on the side of the road.
Looks like another good machine. Though some might knock the ground clearance, it's always good to have a big, market selection. After all, not everyone needs a lot of ground clearance for rock-climbing, etc. Speaking of variety, I wish Yamaha would bring back the Timberwolf 4x4 250 cc. That would fit my son just perfect. Again, there are a lot of people out there, and their needs and wants vary from one to another. Not only that, but keeping some machines more reasonable in price will be a hit for more people than the manufactures realize. $10k plus for atvs now days... gee whiz!
@kractass Are you kidding me. Seeing more 2022 and 2023 Arctic Cat 600s on the trails in Georgia and Florida. I ride my 2023 AC TRV limited more than my Honda rubicon and outlander. It's a all around great machine, just overpriced.
My guess is they’re sourcing the engines from Arctic Cat. I don’t think AC isn’t shipping the 700 any longer and they may have found an outlet for them. The AC 695 were good, reliable, engines. It could be Kawasaki too, which would also be a good engine. Those are the only two 695 SOHC engines I’m aware of. Edit: After seeing the engine on the Argo site, I would say it’s sourced from Arctic Cat. Looks just like theirs.
The hole bikes is built by TGB , they are a sourced bike built at lower quality specs. If interested you should buy a TGB BLADE 600/1000 way better bike. Better features also.
Argo us missing one big thing, upgradable machines and more importantly accessories. even their website is horrible for their accessories information. don't know about the 700, but the fit and finish on the 1000 is below par, seriously it's atrocious and with poor lower plastics, mechanically good, seat is a brick though. and some parts they don't have in stock.
Got the 700 LE this year after having a polaris 500 since 2001 and would not go back to the new polaris (made like garbage) now . The only thing I don't like about the argo is the plastic hub or cap ( in the middle of the wheels ) keep falling off because they made them too big and they catch anything hitting your wheels
I wonder if it will require constant maintenance, leak water like a sieve, and be impossible to work on like their tracked vehicles? I am joking around but I am interested to see what the ATV’s are like. Seems like there are not a lot of dealers in USA.
@@dirttraxtv Your right this one's a Kymco isn't it? Either way, I like this 700 but they are pretty rare in the States, surprised to hear they are that popular in Canada. Would be nice to see a better dealer network here in the U S.

Built by KYMCO... As are many Arctic cats and small cc youth ATVs for kawi, yami, and zuki!
Ive seen them and the comparison to me would be arctic cat..Hopefully the quality is better than cat.
Arcticats are also rebadged kymco atvs (accept their new 600)
It's a kymco 700😂
It’s a tgb bike
@@RidingHisunLife This is a Kymco MXU 700. TGB doesn't have a 700 engine.
And its $3000 more. 😂
@@RidingHisunLifetgb makes some Argo, but this is a Kymco.
I've owned a Kymco and it was extremely well made and reliable.
I have no idea where there is an Argo dealer near me
Argo has a dealer locator on its website.
Isn’t this just a rebranded ATV?
Kymco or CFMoto?
TGB builds them for Argo
Looks like a Kymco MXU 700.
They use TGB and Kymco units.
@@dirttraxtv you should do reviews on TGB BLADES AND TARGETS. They’re amazing bikes .

So glad to see you guys doing more ATV's!
We really tried hard to deliver what you've been asking for.
Honey if you just get a Honda. You don’t have to worry about finding parts. Honda don’t break

it really looks like a Kymco exactly like the ones we have in France... tell me if I'm wrong or not...
they are a kymco machine
It's a kymko, if you look at the stickers on the frame it will say kymko

Anybody else tired of paying more for rebranded stuff. It’s really dishonest. I’ll just buy a kymco.
King Quad / Grizzly / Brute Force shouldn't even be used in the same sentence with this crap. This is cf moto and textron minor league.
Wish my nearby Argo dealers stocked them
Should buy yourself a TGB ATV they make these units for Argo and the TGB blade is a million times better.
More reviews on Arctic Cat Alterra 600 and Argo 1000.
Yes need that
Nobody cares about arctic cat bro.

Can u get one in the us
Yes.
Kymco MXU 700.
Buy Can-Am or go home
So does Argo make the engine or is the engine built by someone else 🤔
Argo is not building these engines.

It's a Kymco, they are reliable.
Kymco MXU 700
It’s a tgb
Kymco and TGB are both suppliers for Argo.
Cinematography is on point! Really showing this thing off
Thank you!!
Any info, thoughts or insights on the TGB ATVs from Taiwan? Starting to see these pop up in UA-cam.
mechanically good, the argo 1000 fit and finish is below sub par.
I have Argo 2022 1000XRT LE 2up. All... great..., buy again yes..... sweet bike.... kicks ass.....fun to ride......
It's a kymco

Not sure what the dealer network is actually like across the US.
Agro made by TGB.
So close.
This or the 2024 Can Am outlander 700, it cost isn’t in play ?
TGB
Rebranded Taiwan Golden Bee, but pretty decent.
Not a golden bee. It’s a Kymco
Some of their units are rebranded TGB, some are Kymco.

@@rzl07375 Argo's home base is out of Ontario Canada. They've just recently opened an office in TRF Minnesota
@@dirttraxtv Hope to see the dealer network expand in the U S., Kymco makes good stuff Id look at one of these models for sure.
Made with tax money in India & China
