Does anyone remember the CYCLONE?
#2
The Polaris Cyclone was the quickest and fastest 250 ATV they ever produced . The engine is basisly the same as the current 250's with the exception of a more advanced port timing . Polaris also sent them with bigger carburetors than what is currently on the 250's . The exhaust system was a more performance oriented than current 250's have . The clutch engagement and shiftout speed were about 1000 rpm's higher than current models .
The brakes were not the best, and there was no electic start . It was one of Polaris's first ATV models .
At the time these quads were sold Honda dealers had 250R's in the show rooms . The Cyclone was Polaris's sport model . It was really no comparison to the Honda as we all know .
The same basic engine with detuned porting , exhaust , carburetion and clutching is what is in a Trailblazer is . With the improvements in braking and the addition of electric starting . The frame and plastic are different aswell .
The Trailblazer and the Cyclone both have the same hop up potential as far as horsepower , the trialblazer has better brakes . The Cyclone just came out of the factory in a higher state of tune .
The new 400's and 500's are much better than the Cyclones . They are quicker, faster , and have better brakes and are all in all much better machines .
Please excuse the long post
