Default 2 Questions about VFORCE.Snow and Jumping!!

Torn between Vforce and YFZ 450.
Can the vforce jump good stock?
And does it do in the snow.I would think the new yami would suck in the snow.

Default 2 Questions about VFORCE.Snow and Jumping!!

the vforce can jump pretty good, i dont know about snow, because if you got stuck,the vforce weighing in at 516 lbs or something like that, it wouldnt be easy to push out, i would go with the yfz over the vforce even though the vforce is great, you would probably be more pleased with how light(350lbs dry) the yfz is in the snow and they say it can out jump any quad on the mx track, and it has the best handling.

snow?....snow?....It's hard to think about snow, It's been 95 degrees here all week, and it is supposed to be 95-99 the rest and through the weekend. V-force should do just like any other 2wd in snow, except they are heavier than a lot. light to moderate jumping should be comfortable. Tires are a big variable in the snow also.

I've found that larger tires and ground clearance work well in snow, so id give that to the Kawie's 22" tires

but as for jumping, the 450 should be MUCH better becuase it's light and you can correct better in the air

Here's me landing the 747

Tha kawi should do well in snow and a fairly good jumper to boot. I know with my old Z400 with stockers it was ok in snow, just go fast. Then when I used some 22" pro wedges in the snow, it was alot better, just needed to be geared down some. I'm going to put my pro wedges on my V-Force soon, they should do good in the sand and snow. Ground clerance and tire selection is key to snow on a 2wd sport quad, the more the better.
