The Predator handles well. We ride rough trails, old corn fields.

the pred eats the rough stuff up pretty good . and the faster you go the better it gets. I like wide open the best!

tatertod hit it right on the head with the pred! The faster you go the better it handles. IMO the best handaling quad off the show room floor out there. Those fox shocks are great! That engine is no slouch either. Hill climbs are a joke for it . It doesnt even act like its on a hill, it just pulls. you will have to to tighten up the rear for your weight maybe up the compression on front a little. im 215 with no problems on it.
