Is the 400ex the best trail quad???

I own both a Raptor and two 400exs. The stock 400ex is much easier to ride in tight trails than a stock Raptor. It slides better, corners better, and it is easier to control the power. The stock Honda suspension is better than the stock Yamaha suspension. Obviously if you plan on making lots of mods then alot of these factors aren't important. Flat out though, the Raptor is a more thrilling ride due to the power even with its handling quirks (can be overcome with additional $$$). In terms of reliability and maintenance, the 400ex wins again. If you bought a Raptor, you would need to also plan on replacing the 2 front tires immediately since they are 2-ply and you will rupture the sidewalls trail riding.

all i can say is I love my 400. Dont know if its the best, even though i have rode many quads, but its an awesome trail quad. Was just riding some pretty crazy trails in W Virginia and she ran good and strong = me having a blast (except for my buddy wrecking his and breaking 3 bones).
Also 400 parts are cheap to replace.
