Argo XTV Conquest Series Review: Why Consider the Argo XTV Conquest Series?

Argo Conquest XTVs is one of five recreational series XTVs by Argo. The others include; Frontier Series, Xplorer Series, Aurora Series, and Magnum Series.

Overview: Who Should Buy the Conquest Series Argo XTV?

The Conquest series has been made for customers who need Argo transport to remote areas i.e., remote ice road construction sites. The Conquest Series Argo XTVs can carry two to six people, making them perfect for cargo and personnel transport applications.

The Conquest Series is part of Argo's recreational XTVs. However, it works perfectly for commercial applications as well. Conquest series XTVs can be used for recreation or commercial applications. Firefighters, welders, engineers, environmentalists, transmission line maintenance crews, mining company workers, forestry consultants, and other professionals will find the Conquest Series very useful.

Main Features of Argo Conquest Series XTVs

There are two main XTVs in the Conquest Series namely; Conquest 800 Outfitter & Conquest 950 Outfitter. Other sub-variations like Conquest 800 & 950 XT, XT-L, etc. are based on accessories. Before discussing the differences between the two( Conquest 800 and 950), it's important to discuss their similarities and why they stand out.

Similarities Between the Argo Conquest 800 Outfitter & Conquest 950

1. Superior Transmission (Admiral Transmission)

Conquest Series XTVs use what is known as admiral transmission - a complex gearing system featuring dual differentials on output shafts.

When steering, braking force goes to the steering differential as opposed to the output shafts. This system offers smoother, more gentle steering on high gears and a zero-radius turn on low range. The 3:1 output shaft rotation ratio when steering at high gear results in unmatched steering smoothness.

2. Clutch (New Instant Torque Clutch)

The New ITC complements Argo's admiral transmission and increases torque by 28 percent compared to previous clutches. The clutch simply boosts low-end torque while increasing acceleration. The latest Argo's Conquest Series XTVs have been made to have an optimal gear ratio that allows seamless shifting throughout the entire range, which in turn allows maximum use of engine power and torque.

3. Superior Rims & Tires

Argo also designed the Conquest Series XTVs with airlock rims & tires. The airlock feature makes the tires attach to rims better in rugged terrain resulting in a smoother ride. You can adjust tire pressure accordingly to match your terrain.

The XTVs also come with low-pressure tires specially designed for offering unmatched traction in the most challenging off-road terrain.

Both XTVs (the 800 and 950 Outfitters) come with 25-inch tires.
