the engine keeps the revs up,but,the tranny slips,,,,gotta leave up on the pedal,,,,,,,the trannys in these are junk,,, my rtv 900 just takes off when you step on it,no slips,it just goes,,,,,a long somewhat steep grade,the 1100 needs to be in 2nd gear,the rtv 900 in 3 gear,and it just flies,,,,,,,
