Are you a Biden type person or Trump type fellow?

The system is more reliable than when they first came out. If that’s what you want get it. Possibility it will give you issues, yes. Chance isn’t that great though. I personally prefer the foot shift and I’ve owned both. Having your left hand “free” can be nice at times.

I’ve had both and rather foot shift. Frees up a hand for a cold beer.

Hard to hold a beer and shift at the same time... foot shift is way more efficient in that regard

I have electric shift and automatic. No issues with either. Dad has MS so foot shift was not an option.

I also prefer the foot shift because of the free hand thing.

While the system is better than it used to be, and it did work flawlessly in my pioneer 500, I still think that it's absofrickinglutely retarded they run it at a <4v system which invites issues.
To each his own, I don't like it.

I have the auto and electric...just pick with the turn of a switch. I grew up with a foot shite on my 86 fourtrax and figured I would use the auto occasionally but mainly use the electric shift. I currently have 300 hours on the bike now and have probably used the electric shift for 5 hours, max. AUTO is so damn nice.

To be clear guys, there is a difference between ES and DCT.

I prefer ES on my foreman but I can also use foot shift. It’s just easier for me to use ES especially when the water is over the foot pegs and you have snakes swimming by

I went with foot so it would be more difficult for my son to go faster when he was younger.

What if mine has both?
Then I believe it would be a DCT and a completely different transmission.
An ES is just a foot shift eith an electric motor doing the shifting.
A DCT is a double clutch monstrosity of oil pumps that works amazingly well until the exact moment it doesn't

I have been riding a friend's DCT foreman...or Rubicon... One of them lately while the mud flaps come in for the side by side.
I begrudgingly admit... It's a nice bike.
