Default Ok, Im stuck on buying b/w 2 different quads

1) I want the Scrambler b/c it has 4WD but yet it also has some speed

2) I want the Z-400 for speed and i just like it all around

now, what i really wanna know is which one would be the best on trails ( I live in VA, so I mostly ride in the woods) and some trails are pretty rough


I could use anyones opinon b/c i am so stuck right now!

Hi. Since you already have a polaris 500 for the trails and rugged terrain , why not go for the Z 400 for the speedy sport type rides...that way you have a good 4x4 and a nimble sport wheeler

Hi again. If those are the only two wheelers you will consider , then it depends on the type of riding you will be doing. Around here ( New Brunswick , Canada ) where there is a good amount of wooded trails , mud, and snow I would much rather go for the scrambler due to the 4x4.

4x4 is a must plus you have 2 wheel option on the scrambler.the prairie 700 is alot faster than the polaris.but if sppeed isnt a big concern the scrambler will do .my good friend owns a srambler he loves it.good luck

The Prairie is by no means a "lot" faster than the scrambler. In stock trim, the P700 is slightly faster accelerating than the scrambler. A scrambler will do around 65mph, so if you wont be going over 55mph and want 4wd, then the scrambler would be the better choice. If you dont need the 4wd at all, then the Z would be better.

the only thing i dont like about the scambler is that since its automatic, and so high geared, I am worried that on my trails (were you have to go uphill- very slowly) Im afraid that goin slow and uphil will blow a plug or ruin the belt or something
