I bought one 300km on it so far... I can only compare it to my 15 rancher 420. Things I've noticed so far.
Pulls much harder low end torque is good. Topend speed 75km my 420 rancher does 80. But this new 520 will shift 1 to 5th 0 to 60 in like 3 to 4 seconds it seems very fast on the takeoff.
Transmission is smoother then ever I use esp exclusively you can make it feel like a cvt it shifts so good or you can hold'em longer and gun it.
Low range transfer case and locking front are new to me but I love em so far . I have the deluxe model rims look good but stock tires are narrow looking for 25 8/10 12s I havent measured them but the 24 10 11s on rancher look wider for sure.
Handling seems perfect it feels like a stronger Rancher moving to this one has been seamless for the ride feel if you know what I mean.
Suspension seems stiffer I have ranchers preload maxed new bike has them on min so far once I put 26in on o will move preload up a bit. Overall i am very pleased with the 520. It is a beast and the Dragon Snot green paint looks nice in the sun
Peace out

food for thought, tad off subject, but I know Honda on there 1000 talon has a factory bolt on turbo that DOESN"T Void warranty and gets about a 170 hp in them
Imagine if they ever get one of them 1000's into a ATV
all these BIG mud tire guys will be filling ER's across the USA with some serious HP upgrades over all the 25-30 hp foremans and such they all love so well LOL
add some gear reductions and they should be able to turn 72 inch tires them and be back to going slow and steady though and asking for more HP again! LOL
