THE BRUISER 5: Commonly labeled the " family chassis " as it seats up to six adults and has the longest wheelbase. The 5 has a size and wheelbase that allows it to traverse large and steep obstacles that were once considered unsurmountable. With the Bruiser 5's generous girth an appropriate tire size is critical, too small of a tire on your big Bruiser could frequently get it caught on its belly skid. The Bruiser 5 is best suited for the off road enthusiast that likes to wheel with company, kids and dogs. In addition this chassis requires more patience when driving on narrow trails, but is the titan of hardcore trail comfort.
