Hello all, anyone in here familiar with the '06 Matt Smiley edition Predator? I wnt to my local Polaris dealer to inquire about the forth coming Outlaw, which is not coming out for some time, and saw the Smiley Predator. It is a very nice looking quad. The salesman mentioned the Razr2 tires and it had the close ratio transmission but that was all the difference he knew besides graphics. Can anybody give anymore detail there may be between it and the standard and Troy Lee models?

 

check out spider6's pics and see if thats it if so you can read his posts about it...

 

Yep, thats it.

 

its fecking awesome, if you want a preddy, buy it, you WILL NOT regret it

 

Do you know the differences?

 

i own one, i should know [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

the differences between a STANDARD predator are:

Fox Podium X shocks w/ rezzies
Black Plastics
Raceing Graphics
White Brothers (Pure Polaris) E-Series Exhaust
Maxxis Razr 2 tires
Close Ratio gearbox

the difference between a TROY LEE DESIGNS predator are:
Black Plastics
Racing Graphics
White Brothers (Pure Polairs) E-Series Exhuast
Maxxis Razr 2 Ttires

 

Do you know if Polaris changed the gear ratios from '05 to '06 for the TLD? Does the '06 LE have the same gear ratios?

 

sweet looking machine....i wish i had one....

 

yes, it has the same gearbox, and they have not changed the gearing

 

SPYDER6, how long have you had yours? Have you had "ANY" problems with it? The magazine reviews claim the close ratio gearbox has too big of a jump from 4th to 5th, would you agree? What type of riding do you do? I am currently riding a DS 650 Bomb and ride here in the mountains, wooded trails and mud , the Bomb has no reverse and is a little large. The Predator does answer those concerns. The Outlaw is going to be much later in the year than what everyone thinks and will be in high demand here when it does arrive.Take a second and give me your thoughts, I already know it is "awesome".
