If it is the scrambler 400 2-stroke X H.O. that will kill the ex and also i have seen the scrambler 500 beat the z-400 and the z is faster then the ex so yes the scrambler is faster

The 400 Scramblers (2 strokes) can really be made to scream. The stock ones are somewhat limited. They don't handle like a light sport quad (like the EX) by any means though.

400 scramblers can be easly made to push 80+ horsepower reliably

Dude no way in heck!

My Father has owned 3 Scramblers, a 500, and two 400cc 2-strokes, all of them had some mods. In fact there is a stock 400cc sitting in his garage that belongs to his friend in Jersey who comes up to ride.

I've raced both and it's not even close, by the time I hit 3rd gear I'm a full length, by the middle of 4th gear It's probably close to 4-5 lengths. I used to be the race starter for the two of them to race, I would drop my arms and let them take off, I could then take off and catch and pass both of them before I tapped 4th gear.

My Father got so sick of getting left in my dust he traded his 500 HO in for a KFX700.

Only a heavily modded Scrammy will keep up with a z400 or a 400ex. Unless the rider on the 400 can't ride at all and can't even bang gears, the Scrambler stands no chance.

I have seen a 500 Scrambler race a 400ex and the 400ex got left in the dust. A Scrambler 400 is faster than a Scrambler 500 so the Scrambler 400 would kill the 400ex in a drag race but in the woods the 400ex would pull away.

400ex is allllitle bit faster

i raced a 04 ex w/HD tires, rims, and a HMF pipe

i kept up till he hit about 4th, then he slowly pulled away...that was on gravel and we never raced on the road

i've also raced a scrambler 400 and he had a RCR pipe on it..and mine is piped to so same mods

we were neck and neck the whole time until we ran out of road and we were almost topped out..

You guys have seen some FREAK OF NATURE Scramblers.....

Apparenly the three my father owned and the one his buddy owns are all slower than they should be.

The only Scrammy I've ever seen beat anything was my Father's 400cc 2-stroke that was build up to the hilt. It was a Trinity build engine and the thing was sick, I saw him smoke a modded Banshee on it... but it was FAR from stock..

In stock form anyone who can ride at all would smoke a Scrammy (either the 500cc 4S or the 400cc 2S) on a z400 or a 400ex. This I've seen countless times.

The Scrambler is heavy and CLUMSY! Put just one turn in the race, and the Scrambler will be left in the dust............

Polaris knows nothing about quad handling!
