Ok the question everybody is wanting to know which is better faster more powerful and has more HP THE RAPTOR OR THE PREDATOR

Raptors suck! They can't compete, enough said.

From what I have read, the Preds are heavy. Clocking in at 415 dw and the size of a DS. Who knows, but I'm sure the claims will begin shortly upon their release. Maybe the Raptor dudes will forget about flaming the Z people then. LMAO [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

the predator is faster than the raptor, by a good bit.

don't even think about it,the question is,how many lenghts the PREDATOR will roost the raptor,even the shee will be scary...

go to the predator website you will see which how much faster the predator is. www.predator500.com

The predator by far. Enough said!

Put the crack pipes down. When the predator gets in the publics hands, the question asked by all is where is the power. Send your checks for 750 dollars to wake it up. That is the way it will be, sorry. And it will never out run the king.

Polaris people said that the Predator will hang out with the Raptor and DS......

From what ATV Sport says in there review, the Power (Speed/Acceleration) is on par with the Raptor. They didn't say if it felt faster or slower. Unfortunatly the fools didn't do an actual acceleration test or top speed test.

Despite the weight they said it handles much better than the Raptor and has better suspension. They said that because of the good suspension and handling it feels more like a 400ex.

Regardless, we have to wait until people start buying these things to see how they really shape up. I trust the magazines about as much as I can throw them, however because this is a Polaris I believe this mag's review a little more than I would with most manufactures because most of the time people look for any reason they can to bash Polaris. They only complained about minor things like the plastic near the tank and the large brake and clutch levers.

Anyway, lets all just wait and see what happens. I'm anxious to see how things pan out. In a way I hope the Predator is all it's cracked up to be because that will force the other manufacturers to step things up. In another way, I hope that it's not that great because I'm broke [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] !

Later.
