Default Dvx Vs Predator (which to buy???)

hello, i want to buy new quad and my options where i live (israel) are DVX/Predator/DS650
anyway i dont want the DS becuase it dosent have reverse and its big quad and i iliek it small and more sport feeling.
so what that left for me is the DVX and The Pred.
just wanted to know what you think and why you think it...speed/power/price/etc everything please!

Thanks!

the pred is just about better than it in every way other than possible reliability and weight. also theres probebly quite a bit more (not saying theres not alot already for the pred) aftermarket options. Also remember that hte DVX is just a rebadged Suzuki LT-400

apparently, i dont know for sure, but theres documentation showing that the Predator TLD has the best power to weight ratio in its class which is basicly the whole sportquad market.

if your asking which one is faster, the predator, by far. the 2006 polaris Predators put out 50 horsepower at the crank and about 46 at the rear wheels. curb weight is about 440 pounds

lol oh wow, REDEX300x seriously, if you ask abt the pred here, everyone is gonna say pred, it might be a good machine, but id ask ppl who have rode both because if you go on what you read hgere, there all gonna say pred is better in its class in every way shape and form which it might be a good quad, dont get me wrong but not better then every quad, from ppl i know who have polaris, everyone but 1 person doesnt like em so..idk i think polaris makes good utilities but for sport quads id go where they have made em for longer then 3 or 4 years, cuz the pred is trully the first sport quad from polaris

They are both(Pred and DVX) great quads. The Polaris is hands down faster, but the Zuk is no slouch, and has an edge in tighter terrain. You will be happy with either, so it may come down to who is dealin'
