I currently own a Lakota and was thinking of trading it in. Which of these do you guys and gals thinks the best for my type of riding. 80% of it's hillclimbing, 10%Jumping, And Other 10% Little mud and water and speed. Which of these handles the best.

 

I would stick with the lakota. A friend of mine just bought a warrior and all though it is faster it dosnt seem to handle very good. He almost fliped it a few of times 2 while trying to donuts he gave up on them after that he never did one then just different corners would cause him to tip and we on lakotas could just keep going. So it seems to me the lakota handels better.

 

I own a lakota sport and so do my 2 friends they go up hills great and jump great we have a motocross track we ride on and my brother has a warior and it turns bad so buy a lakota sport

 

get a mojave !

 

I think either one would be good. The Lakota is automatic clutch while the Warrior is manual clutch. I don't know about the Warrior but I know you can get racks for the Lakota. They both handle pretty good. The Warrior is faster. It really all depends on the rider and on what you like.

P.S. Don't get the Mojave. Take it from someone who has ridden one for about 7 years.

 

If you are tipping on the Warrior then you need to change your turning technique. I have never ridden a Lakota, but I used to have a Warrior, and they are a lot of fun. They turn really well, you just have to use correct body english to make the most of it. The stock tires on a Warrior do cause them to be a bit more tippy, but you can tip them on their side, find the balance point, and ride them like that for a while....on two wheels.

The Warrior is a manual clutch, is that important to you? The manuals are great, gives you more control over shifting (obviously) and another tool to use to when riding (clutch). If you are riding with a bunch of other people on Lakota's, and you like them, then I would just stick with a Lakota if I were you. The Warrior is faster, and a different machine, so you would have little learning curve if you went with the Warrior. But if you are bored, and what something new, then the Warrior is a great bike. Good torque for hills, too.

 

Well personally owning both machines I can answer your questions.I used to believe that Lakotas were stable,well not anymore a simple change of rear tires will turn it into a completely different machine! I installed a set of Holeshots on mine and the difference is amazing! It does EVERYTHING better! Because of the chassis' and motor's you'd think they'd be similar but they're not at all! The Warrior is much more fun! wheelies,jumps,and slides much better than the Lakota! After riding the Warrior around and then hopping on the Lakota the power feels "empty".and the Warrior is better suited for a mx track too! But I'd suggest riding a Warrior offroad first. And I wouldn't suggest a Warrior unless you prefer a manual clutch.Sorry if this post seems unorganized but that's cuz I am right now.If you have any other questions just ask! Oh I forgot to mention that the Holeshots are on the Warrior!Sorry

 

You have to consider a Mojave. Dont let the 250cc scare you, this quad will scream. DHOC, 4 valves, liquid cooled.
