I'm looking to buy a new atv since my scrambler is getting old. I have been focusing on the Bombardier DS650 and the Raptor 660, maybe even a 400EX. I mostly ride smooth wide open trails so I want something that handles good with enough power. I only ride at my cottage so won't have much time to take my atv in for repairs. I've heard some ppl say the Raptor is a bit top heavy and not the most reliable. If anyone could give me some good feedback about the handling, power, and reliablity of these 3 atv's that would be great.

 

400ex are usually very reliable if been treated good, they are a great trail bike and have a good amount of power

Cant really comment on the DS 650 have no experience with them but from reading on here seems like the people that have them like them.

my review of the 660 raptor is going to be of a 700 Raptor so if your not looking at new just disregaurd

I always heard the 660's were tipsy as well but the 700 doesnt feel this way at all to me. It handles great on trails and has more than enough power stock and modded i cant even imagine lol. The fuel injection is very nice. On technical trails it is great but when get a opened up area the acceration from 2nd and 3rd gear is just insane.

All in all I think they are all great quads and if looking for used I think what you can find in good shape will have to play into your decision

If buying new Id have to go with a Rappy 700 which i did so im a little biased lol, then probally the DS 650
after having a warrior and riding my buddies 400ex the power of the rappy 700 or DS 650 (never rode but imagine its pretty powerful) is just far superior
