Default V-Force better in the ?

Is the Vforce good in deep water or mud? How deep can you go? My predator die's in water deeper than the tires?

Also how is it for very slow technical riding (anther thing the Predator doesnt do well)

Thanks

I recently got to ride a friend of mine's KFX700. It has so much torque and he told me you don't get it stuck. While this is obviously an exagerration, I would be willing to bet it would put up quite a fight, especially with better treads.

My predator sucks in the water, motor always dies (even thought the air box stays dry!!!) I need something a little better for the trails. Does trhe Vforce have good ground clearance?

The V has better clearance than any other sport quad. The reason for this is because of the shaft drive system which eliminates the need for a sprocket. My riding buddy rides a Preddy on the trails and the preddy does pretty good. In the <u>really</u> rough stuff, the V does better. As far as not being able to cross water on the preddy, you might want to re-route the breather lines that hang down to a higher position. I remember hearing that if they suck up water, it will kill the engine, but it's an easy fix. Good luck on your decision.

V-force does go through pretty deep stuff. Up to the bottom of the breather box. Hey as high as that thing is, if your that deep your wet...lol. But in the tight trails it is heavy so you can't throw it around as much as that Predator. Very comfortable ride though. They do good in the mud as long as you don't high center them, if it gets stuck it's a heavy sucker to get out. All in all I really like mine, mostly my wife rides it. Going to put on come big tires this winter and see what it can get through then. Good luck on your decision...
