This invention relates to multiple driven axle vehicles, and particularly
to all-terrain vehicles equipped for rear wheel drive, four wheel drive,
and on-demand front wheel drive. The invention is directed toward a
system of switchable traction options allowing the vehicle operator to
easily choose between different modes, such as rear wheel drive with an
open or unlocked differential, rear wheel drive with a locked
differential, four wheel drive with open differentials, four wheel drive
with one locked differential, four wheel drive with two locked
differentials, or rear wheel drive with on-demand four wheel drive.
