which quad do you think can handle more (mud,etc.) and is better for woods/trail riding??

 

im gunna say the Raptor ......JMO

 

The raptor has more torque and more powerful midrange, so that would mean it would work better in the sticky stuff, and with larger rear tires.

 

Last time we went to the wood me on my pred and bro-in-law on raptor!! His raptor had to stay an extra night becouse of broken parts!!

 

Has your third gear gone out yet?

 

the raptor has three thing against it. first it too narrow,second too tall, which results in high center of gravity(this is a bad thing if you did not know), third is dependability. this is how it has gotten the nick name CRAPTOR. these are just my opinions from riding a few of them.

 

lmao...riding with them eh? have u ever rode one?...its not too tall bud i have no trouble getting around corners and climbing hills is a joke.the reason it got the nickname craptor is because of reliability issues? it is because of people who rag on them who are quite pathetically jealous, and have nothing else on it so they make fun of its name...i dunno where u get your facts but u need to drive one first before u say its too narrow or tall

 

wow....settle down a little, I agree it got its name the same way predators are called predaturds......Although some of the rappys were problematic(but seem to be fixed since 01). I agree that the rappy is too tall, and too narrow......I'm not saying they aren't going to work, but more that in comparison to the pred, it is taller and narrower. With the 05's having reverse, the predator is the optimum trail quad. I wish the pred wasn't the top trail quad, and was the top race quad......[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

 

Hey boys but i dunno what kinda crack rocks your smokin but If you know how to ride the raptor is a fine machine. it can conquor about anything thats you can throw in its face. as for bein narrow WTF dont believe what you read on paper they must me measuring the rear axle for width or sompin. all i know is you cant be any wider that a raptor on our trails out here. or you wont get across the bridges. or down allot of the trails. Its not tippy because of height its tippy cuz they bought the shox from Kmart on a blue light special. the front shox are worthless and t!ts on a bore hog. but thats all crap you gotta change anyway. Dont listen to anyone on what to get. Sit on the bike, ride it if ya can, and get what feels best to you. your the one who has to ride it not any of us.

 

through the mud and muck... id say raptor all the way!!!!

























































a pred looks to nice to get it all muddy and dirty!!!
