i now have an 06 polaris that my six year old daughter has been riding now for two years, my 4 year old son has a eton 40 he got from sis and i bought him a brand new polaris 90 for christmas, problem is my friend has 2 polaris 90 and his boys really ride em and the brakes absolutely @@@@. . i am now thinking of selling his 90 that i didnt give him yet and get either a drr or apex 90 because of the disc brakes, but i dont know enough about them. can anyone help me??? the polaris my daughter has is great but she doesnt ride it hard so she doesnt notice the brakes, but if my son turns out anything like me oh boy we will have an issue with em..... please any help would be great thanks.

 

what kind of polaris 90 do you have? are you sure the brakes are adjusted properly? never heard anyone complain about brakes on the polaris 90 s drr and apex are good quads but so is the polaris.

 

she rides the polaris predator 90 , also what i bought my son for christmas and my friends two boys have the identical predators and have nothing but problems with the brakes. wish we could put disc on the rear

 

ahh they have drum brakes, you have to really watch the adjustments on them and your right drums stink.

 

yeah thats why i was wondering about the drr or the apex quads with the discs. the polaris is a nice quad dont get me wrong but even the eton has disc in the rear.

 

check out these guys...www.hetrickracing.com they have tons of upgrades for all youth quads you could call them they might have a solution for you. check out all the upgrades they have for a pred 90 i have heard nothing but good things about them.

 

hey thanks alot just went on that site very cool, ill call em monday. i appreciate it

 

hope they can help suck to give up on the polaris for the breaks.

good luck

 

If you go with something else, go DRR.

 

Apex & DRR both nice. My question would be what type of riding. Are we talking about purely recreational trail riding or little more hard riding/racing. Both bikes are nice. DRR little cheaper, Apex little more but are little more race ready. DRR better geometry in front end, darn thing steers like a luxury car. Apex deffinitely better suspension out of the box. I've been into both motors, definitely prefer design, setup, & components of the Apex over the DRR.

I guess I'm a little bias since my son races an Apex, but I must say we have been beaten a couple times by DRR.

Both transmissions @#$%! I suggest you keep some tranny gears close by. I think I'll start my own business some day selling miniquad tranny gears. I'd prolly make a killing. (unless you run an LT80, those darn gears are indistructable)..
