I dont remember the whole list but I can say from personal experience that the 400EX is the top dog here. The Raptor would probably be second.It has more power than the 400, but it does not balance as eaisly.Im guessing that the 300ex and Majove are pretty high too.

The 250X is awsome for wheelies. Mainly because it is underpowered. You can creep around in a first gear wheelie all day if you get it up real high. The 400EX is great for this too but it's a little more jerky in first gear because of the extra power. I wouldn't even include the Raptor in this category because it sputters and dies when it's straight up and down. The fuel comes right out through the air filter. I have two other friends with Raptors and they both do the same thing. I think it's because the CV type carbs don't have oveflow hoses. When I used to do those kinds of wheelies on my 250X fuel used to pour out the overflow hoses but it would still run fine. I love wheelies!!!!

Yambike!!! Adjust the float levels correctly and it won't do that! Mine was set way too high...and judging by everyone else, this is a common problem.

I heard the 250EX is the best quad for wheelies. But it wasn't out when they made that list.

My blaster could kick all your a##'s at wheelies anyday. You all just need to quit having five year olds teach you to ride. Ha! Ha! Ha!

we have a new 250EX and it is the EASIEST quad to wheelie that I've ever ridden, mainly because it has the power to do it, and there is no clutch to pop or ride...
