I was looking at the Outlaw the other day and to me, it seems it is basically the same thing as the predator (looks the same, 15 pound difference, same engine), except for the suspension. In my (uneducated) opinion, it looks like just a trail version of the predator, with more ground clearence. Is this true? Please inform me on the other differences and give me your opinion on it.

 

Suspension is different, an arm rear setup, instead of the ridgid axle, it will be more like the sportsman line(or like the front of the pred)........the motor isn't the same either.....it is built a little differently.....I'm told......for more of what it's meant to do.......trail riding/racing.

 

Alright, so it is more for trailriding.

 

the only thing same between the outlaw and the predator are the wheels and the motor. the motor is the exact same exept with a heavier flywheel for added torque, a TLD gearbox with a shorter 5th gear.

 

ive read that it puts out a little bit more power at the crank 50hp

 

Has been tested or anything yet?

 

most hte gmagazines have tested the Prototypes, but the retail version wont be out to test till febuary

 

There was a write up on the Outlaw in the new ATVSport mag.

 

Mabols, I actually think the Outlaw will be better at XC type of racing than the Pred. We will certainly find out how it fares at next years GNCC series. Outlaws should do very well for trailriding also. Personally, I am waiting until they have been found tried and true before I pass final judgement, but I feel it will be a decent performer even with the added weight.

 

I'm thinking the Outlaw will be a dominating force in GNCC racing, as well as will lead the other manufacturers to introduce an IRS version of their own as well. SRA has it's place in MX, but is not as well suited for XC racing.
