I am considering buying my two sons ages 9 and 11 an atv. Anyone with information, opinions, experiences with this model and would like to share it, please do. Also considering the Eton Viper 90, also any information good or bad is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

We bought an E-ton Viper 90 this summer after looking over several models.So far the bike has been flawless,lots of trail miles and a few races as well.Does 28 mph on radar.My only complaint is the lack of front shock travel although its as good as anything else I've seen other than the Polaris.Rear suspension has lots of travel.Awesome rear brake and nice heavy duty chain.

 

Not to sure about this model although there are lots of other posts about with people view on quads of this type.

I would have a scan over previous posts.

I purchased the predator 90 not long ago and am extremly pleased with it(as it takes my 13 stone no problem). The wee man loves it too.
The Viper 90 also gets good reviews from most on this site.

Just make sure the kids happy and safe.

The quality of the Dinli's are higher than most teh other machines. The egineering is good to except for the rear shock. That can be changed with after market stuff. The engine is really a 95.6cc engine. If you are going to race it, make sure the rules will allow it. Otherwise, you will have to change the cylinder size or crank to get under 90cc.

 

I just bought a Dinli Beast, same as a Diamond Back with speedo and rack, in July for my 9 & 7 year old boys. Has the rear disc brake and is pre-wired for lights which we installed, very nice. They have over 100 miles on it already and love it. We take it on the trails, including lots of stream crossings (some up over the floor boards). It has performed great. Tommy is right about the rear suspension though. Some of the trails are pretty rocky, and the rear bounces around quite a bit. The boys don't have a problem controlling the bike, but it could be easier. Am going to look into the rear shock upgrade. The only other (small) complaint is that the kids complained that their thumbs got tired pretty quickly, which I have read is fairly common on all the youth quads. I added an extension on the throttle control and haven't heard any more complaints. Overall, I have been very happy with the Dinli.

 

Yeah my boy also compalins of thumb fatigue.

Par for the course me thinks.

 

Thanks everyone for your input. I have decided on either the VIper or Diamondback. Now its time for the negotiations to start.

hi glad you like your dinli.we have a diamondback, what a great quad for kids.if the suspension issue gets improved i think it will be the best overall kids quad on the market.dinli is in the process of making there 90cc quads really that possibly next month.tommy put a modified kit on ours and we kicked some major butt all summer.in closing everyone has a right to his or her opinion but for the quality and performance of the dinli's do yourself a favor try one out and you won't look any farther.

 

Thank you for your input. I plan to test a few out in a couple of weeks. If my boys dont think its fast enough I'll be sure to ask what mods youve done. Keep kickin major butt.
