which do you think is a better beginer quad, a 300ex or a warrior. im 5'6" and 135 pounds. any help would be great.

-thanks

 

They're both ok. If you like popping wheelies and playing around go for the 300EX.If you like trails and you weigh more go for the warrior. Both are good trail machines but the warior is heavier

 

my boy is the same size as you,he loves his 300ex.I like it for one reason~~durability

 

Good reasons!! Look back in these forums and you'll see a bunch of topics the same as this. Do a search so there isnt a flame

 

I'm around your size (5'3" 120lbs) and the 300 just works perfectly for me. It handles great and has plush suspension.
Its up to you, if you want a little more power, go with the warrior, if ou want the advantage in handling, suspension, and ergonomics (for your present size), take the 300EX.

I agree 100%

get the ex

 

I rode a Warrior for years. The Warrior handles like a BIG AND HEAVY bike. I couldn't recommend it to anyone!!

The 300 is perfect for someone your size and weight. Handling and suspension are good. I would recommend replacing the balooney stock tires right off the bat (my personal preference is Holeshots). Stock power is kind of mild, but the bike mods up well when you are ready for more power.

 

Its pretty much a given on the characteristics. If you put them both on a track, the EX will win. If you are into that straight line speed thing, the Warrior will smoke it. The warrior is a faster ride, but the ex is faster through a maze without a bunch of straights to blow somebody away. Pretty much like comparing a banshee with a 250R.

 

Which wheelies better?
