Default Alpha Sports 180cc Cobra

Does anyone have any experience with these ATVs, or any advice. I am looking to get a larger ATV for my 10 year old (just sold his Xtreme 50) and saw one of these on the trails once. Seemed to be a nice machine, but was not able to get a detailed look at it. I like the fact that it is 4-stroke and has reverse along with pretty decent ground clearance.

We are trail riders, not racers, so we need torque for the hills, need to be able to cross water and do some high mountain trails. Any advice is much appreciated!!

sorry man, but this is the wrong quad. My cousin bought one 6 months ago and it is not a quality machine. Now, maybe he got a bad one, but he has poped both of his rear tires, and today he broke the 1 inch steel rod holding his front sproket on. The turning stinks too. Top speed is good, and he can keep up with me in a drag for a while. he is a small guy and he fits good. Also, he has had a lot of problems with the idle and battry. We now have to kick start it because the battry is dead, again. The idle problem is what made the sproket break. Right now (in the cold and snow) he has to give the engine some reves while shifting into forward or reverse. He also had to do that in the begining (when he just got it) I hope this helps, and i hope that he just got a crappy one and that the quads are great because he can keep up with me on most trails. My sister has a dinil i think, its called the BEAST. I even like to ride that, the only problem is the steering. its a 90 and can take a beatin. Good luck!!
