Dreamer, I believe your spot on with what you have stated. Multiple offroad companies have taken a product and detuned it because of average consumer feedback. This detuning left some of the hardcore enthusiasts disappointed but on the whole the average crowd appreciated the new ease of use, and for the hardcore enthusiasts the aftermarket made sure the product could see its full potential.
