It's in the latest Atv Sport....just recaived mine in the mail yesterday. Nothing really surprising in their thoughts though. Handling seemed about as good as a Z400, 400ex, or Bomb650. Handling was better than a Raptor. They supplied a graph indicating it would out-accelerate all sport quads....but for some reason, no Cannondale atv was compared[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]. It seemed too do very well on an MX course.....no one indicated whether this was with professional riders or "good-ole-boys"...lol. Said it was comportable too. Really, there were few complaints....clutch and brake levers were too big and something about the plastic rubbing the riders knees....they had too wear knee pads. Of course nothing is in concrete until a full blown shootout occurs....lol. THis is one nice looking quad......just getting the info out guys / gals! Later.

 

The feelings of each person's preferrence on ergos never really holds any water with me. The acceleration graphs and radar runs do though. The newest ATV Action has the Predator in it also. You can tell they didn't know a lot about what they were writting, they still listed the "Cross-country package", and the "Dune package". These items are all sold seperately....the nerfs, external resevoirs/clickers (for the front). There's still a lot of guessing going on. I would believe the ATV Sport guys probably most of all.

just my 2c.

Most often first test are love fest but the test I read said the suspensionwas not up to par? Now this was a per production quad so things may change.

 

ATVAction is my fav. mag. seems really strait forward on things.

Seems funny that graph in the Predator brochure shows the Z400 out accelerating a raptor halfway through the power band(I don't think so!). So who knows what will really happen. The shootout or timed runs by multiple riders will tell the tale.

Nothing they print in any magazine will convince me to cancel my order. You know how us brand loyal Polaris owners are[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
