It depends on how good of a rider she is the 400 might be a little to powerful for her and the trailblazer could be perfect or vise versa.
Let her do a few test rides then make your buy.

2000 SCRAMBLER 400 2X4

SCRAMDADDY400

 

My wife is about the same size as yours, she rides a Magnum 500 with no problems. She picked it out herself, and had no experience with ATVs beforehand. She is careful around obsticles she thinks might be too much for her, and only goes as fast as she feels safe going.

The important thing here is confidence and common sense. If your wife is nervous about all the power a large quad has, she probably won't do all that well. If she's not afraid of the machine and want's to learn how to ride it, she can ride anything in relative safety.

Make sure you get her a good helmet.


Just my opinion.

 

its kind of funny, i was showing her some of the different ones, like the scrambler or tblazer or xplorer 250, she just said she wants blue, the only blue one is the deisel and i am not getting that one, maybe i can buy blue or purple scrambler fenders

 

My freind has a blue Kodiak and it is a real nice looking color.

 

The blue diesel, that's the way to go! lol
If you get her one, be sure to bring along your jaws of life to pry it off her if she ever tips it over

I have an Xplorer 400, and a Honda Fourtrax 300. If we go anywhere on seperate machines, I need a crowbar to pry her fingers off the Xplorer so I can drive it. She likes the idea of always being in the right gear, and not having to figure out what brake lever does what. She is not much of a 'sport' driver, but still runs circles around me on the Honda! I have taught 3 or 4 females to drive an ATV (had the first Polaris in the neighborhood & they are the easiest to learn) and they all shared one trait. They were easy on the gas until they felt they could control the machine. I wouldn't worry about it, unless your wife was nicknamed 'kamikaze' in driver's ed. Teen-aged boys are a different story.

 

do the scramblers have EBS or not?
