The ad at the top of the page called it "the undisputed value king 2,999 USD"

Wouldnt the blaster be a pretty good competition in the value department? What about the sub 3500 dollar 250 quads?

I have seen the pictures and the specs. on the website.
It looks like a good deal. They finally made a small bike with a shaft drive, unlike the Trail Boss(although this is a 330)

It seems to be a recreational quad its automatic it has reverse and its a shaft drive. I think a Blaster or a Mojave will definatley smoke it.

I would have to agree.
It looks like a big brother to the Predator 50 & 90.
The front part of the frame and the plastic look the same, just bigger.
Thanks for the info.

I rode a phoenix this summer at the 50th anniversary of polaris in St.Paul. Overall I thought it was pretty peppy. The throttle response was great, it felt like it had a much bigger engine in it than it actually does. The riding position is also great, I thought it was actually more comfortable than the predator.

I will have a red one here in the shop to work with . I am going to make hop up parts for this model . The engine reminds me of a honda 200x , 230 suzuki , yamaha 225 . It only has 2 valves (less expence to hop up) and it has a dinky 20 mm carburetor if I read it right .

My buddy Dale at Dalton Industries plans on sorting out the clutch .

I am looking forward to working on this thing.

Rick

Rick,
I really am interested to know what you come out for it. This will most likely be the next quad we own. It would be for my daughter and mostly ridden in sand. I know it will need to make more power than stock before to long for her to keep a grin on her face.lol
