My brother has recommended a Polaris Scrambler 250cc for my 11 yr old son. He has never owned one so I'm looking for input from riders and/or owners of this type? My son is a beginner rider and I am looking at power, handlebility (if thats a word? lol) and of course cost? Any thoughts, opinions or suggestions very much welcomed..thanks.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Well for your info Polaris does not make a 250cc scrambler but they do however make a 250cc Trailblazer. It is a great beginner quad that can grow with the rider. Tons of mods for the future but over all very dependable,comfortable and handles trails great. I would say it is the best beginner quad out now. A Yamaha blaster is to high strung and can easily be outgrown because of its size. You cant beat the trailblazer for price and overall performance.

 

yup 2manytoys is right cant beat it. look at my pics when they come up i guess the moderators gotta look at them first you will see my trailblazer and some riding pics when it comes up.

 

I second what 2manytoys said. I had 2 TB's awhile back but now
the boys are into dirt bikes. I still have my 99 TB.

 

nice tblazer talonhawk

 

thats what i was just gonna say, how does it run verse a stock scramy 400?

kc

 

Isn't 11 kinda young if you're 63???

Just kidding! Anyhoo, welcome to the forum, happy big four-oh whenever it hit ya this year and, yeah, the 250 is a great ride for beginners.

 

Thanks TB400 and DaSandBomb!!
It runs great and can run with scrammies with a pipe and

what 2manytoys said and:

trailblazer (2 stroke) or trailboss 330 (4 stroke)

basicly same bike,,,,just a matter of engine preference

 

My 11 year old son rides a 03' Trailblazer 250. It is his first quad. He has had it for almost a year. He's doing really well on it. We rode 2 up until I felt comfortable the he could handle most situations on his own. It's automatic with reverse and also very stable. It is a little heavy but he handles it just fine. If you have any more questions pm me.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
