here in upper michigan where i ride its pretty much all tight woods and some trails, everyone says the ds is no good for tight woods and that kind of stuff, but i really like it just about anywhere i ride. the DS gots lots of *****, its nice and wide so that meens its stable in tight turns, so i think the ds is good in the woods, im sure lots of people think im wrong, but thats ok.

I like how my DS rides in the woods as well; the only thing that can be a concern is width..some of the trails we ride in NC are *TIGHT* and it leads to a lot of wheel banging; but overall its good in the woods.

Cyberseano, I agree that the width difference is blown WAY out of proportion but... FYI wheelbase is the measurement from the centerline of the front and rear hubs front to back. It refers to the effective <U>length</U> of the machine. Width is width.
Width Specs:
Bomb = 49.5"
Raptor = 43.3"
Z400 = 45.9"
