I'm about to buy a new quad and i want experienced info about both of these. Any help would be appreciated. Top speed of both,fastest in a drag, low end, high end, and jumping ability.

 

I own both. Z all the way!! Do a search. This question gets asked several times a week.

 

the z beats the ex in all those categories. Better quad, newer technology, better all around buy. I owned an ex before i bought the z, and found minimum comparison, the z blows the ex out of the water with overall performance. mod it up a bit, and you have yourself a fast quad.

 

Hey Recon ranger, this is Paul from Redlands, we talked a while back. I am getting ready to buy the 04 z400, just wanted to ask you a question. How are you doing a fuel consumption w/the z? With the small 2.6 gallon fuel tank, I was weary of how long it goes on rides. I know it is much lighter than most other quads so could you give me a heads up. I looked into a company that builds an aftermarket tank for the z which raises the capacity to 3.6 gallons. Let me if you go thru fuel alot. Thanks

Thanks, I'll definetly look at the z's. One question, do the 04 modles have the frame problem?

 

One more question, is there a difference between the z/kfx/dvx besides looks?

 

dusty, 04 s have the fixed frame, also the late 03 s have the correction as well.

there is no difference between the z/kfx/dvx quads, except their looks.

and mongo, i have found the z fuel consumption to be slightly better than the ex was, i can go about 90 miles on a tank and reserve going average 3rd gear speed, about 100 on easy wide riding, and about 60 or so with slow revving riding. I have had no problems or concerns about running out of gas on the trails, but if you plan on long trips, that 3.6 would look nice [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Thanks, I think im going to get a dvx. Black and green looks badass.

 

Depending on what you plan to do with this quad makes the difference.......the Z-400 has the better motor, it has more potential than the ex. But byfar the 400EX has the better, more durable chassie and a more relyable motor
