Addressing Stability Concerns with Dual Wheels

Feedback from Scag V-Ride II users, particularly those with the 61" model, highlighted concerns about balance. Scag addressed this head-on with the V-Ride XL. The integration of an additional dual rear tire ensures not just balance but also unyielding stability. The larger frame and deck find their perfect match in this tire, which offers improved traction, even on challenging slopes.


Engine Options for the V-Ride XL: Power Meets Durability
