the 450r is geared a little bit high for trail riding but with a quick gear down it would be fine

I would say for trail riding get a Raptor. I call them Craptors but of the 2 listed the raptor is way better in the trails then the 450r.

I used to own a raptor and I can honestly say that the 450 is a much better trail quad even though of the high first gear, The trails I ride are pretty tight here in northern Michican and I have no problems How often is there trails where you just use 1st gear, If you have trails that tight buy a utility quad

The 450R if you want a machine that will make it back out of the trails under its own power. lol. The Craptor is a good quad though, it handles great and is one of the most reliable machines out there, wait.....no its not! lol

u know what im getting real sick of stupid @$$ replys on raptors, why dont u just quit while ur ahead? i think someone is kinda p'd off that they kept getting their @$$ handed to them in drags or something, and any modded raptor would spank either of those hondas in trails

ha ha! I have never lost to a craptor and doubt that I ever will. Raptors are over rated and everyone I know that has had a raptor has sold it due to the fact that it was un-reliable and handled like ****. Even if one day, I lose to a raptor in a drag, i'll take him on the track. "ameteurs talk about speed, pro's talk about handling"
