In a recent issue of ATV Sport magazine, they say theat they tested the top speed of a 2000 Scrambler 400 and with a Radar gun the top speed was 54mph?? Doesn't that sound a little fishy? I thought it was about 65mph stock. Any info?

 

yeah i thinnk your right..the mags are almost always wrong.my-t-boss does 56 with the mods i have and i get wasted by scramblers all the time.top speed for a scram is bout 63 to 65

 

Don't believe everything you read. They were probably testing it in the sand or something [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] .

A friend of mine had a magazine that said that the top speed of a Banshee was 64...yeah sure.

Stock the Scram 400 should go about 63.

The top speed for a 400 i at the most 59mPH. My 2000 trail blazer goes 50 w/ out mods, and 60 w/, and with the mods it beat a stock 400 on pavement, same weight riders, same tires,

 

I would say they are way off. My Scram will do 65.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Ran 83MPH on a chassis dyno here [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

i get about 68-69

 

on a gps mine was 65 stock and 69 with a pipe

 

My 99 Scrambler would only top out at 61 MPH on my GPS

I'm not saying that you are wrong, but my experiences show different results. If we want to start comparing quads then you can take a Warrior for example. Those things have to run pretty close to 60mph if not slightly faster. A stock Scrambler will eat one for lunch (even on top end).

Also, I thought that it took more than a pipe for a Trail Blazer to beat a Scrambler (I thought it took the whole race mod setup). Maybe there was something wrong with the one that you raced?
