Theoretically, what kind of air can I get on a stock Trailblazer? I am a big boy at about 250 pounds and so far the most air Ive gotten is maybe 2 ft.....probably less. Keep in mind that Im not a ballsy person and I rarely test the limits. I know the 02 TB has some good susp. travel but its just a beginner quad. I am just curious what the stock limits are on a TB and if anyone has met or passed them?

Just by looking at it.....I think the TB has potential to be a competitive ( but not equal to ) quad to some of the stock big boys ( Z400s, 400exs..etc ) but it would take a TON of money. Either way I love the bike but I want to know if I can invest some money into it to make it respectable out on the field. I also want to know if its worth it.

 

I've had mine off jumps about 5 feet high. It still has stock front struts but
the rear shock is the fox upgrade sold by Hotseat Performance. It does
alright like this but I still would like to change the front springs to the
dual rate springs.
Good performance mods are out there. They range from about $300 to
over $1500 dollars. You might want to just stay in the $300 dollar area
for the best bang for your buck.
Mine is race ported and a reed cage installed. Its as fast as a trail ported
400 scrambler and lighter too! Is it worth all that, well since I did it over a
3 year period, I think so. If you have $4000 cash laying around, a 400
scram would be the way to go. Alot more potential.

 

I am 6'1 230lbs with a somewhat highly modded TB. I can get about 4ft of air without really pushing the limit. For a heavy bike it handles jumps pretty well. But you will want some mods to make it more fun. With the mods that i have i am pushing 66mph tops. Pretty good from stock 52-55. I really have not put all that much money into the TB and it really rips. Tons of low end and a very capeable trail bike. Yes it is possable to get some good air with the TB.
