How does the Predator preform on trails? I have heard it is a great trail quad, but I just am curious.

Awesome trail quad..


really only place the predator isn't happy is in deep mud, you would be surprised how well it does for a 2wd quad though. but what sport quad is happy in mud none.

Great machine. Front suspension is a little harsh, but not bad and the rear shock works magically. Motor has more than enough umph. To get you up the hills too. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] It is a little wide for the real tight spots, but on the whole the added width/stability is welcomed. Great machine. Probably the best bang for your buck out there. I'm VERY happy with mine.

The front suspension could be better, but I think with a steering stabilizer that would help It out a lot better.

I have ridden my Predator on desert trails and Glamis with great satisfaction. I agree that the front suspension is a bit harsh for my style of riding. I guess i may have to speed it up a little or may go to a lite weight oil in the front shocks.

Yeah, I'm hoping to find out this weekend. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] This will be the first time I've ridden with the damper.

The Pred is a great trail quad. It handles great in the whoopy trails and some tight trails.
