I got this info from Mike Chero, who got them from the new ATV Sport super 8 shootout. Some of these numbers are surprising. What do you think?



I think they used the manufacturer's numbers for the dry weight and then used their own scales to measure wet weight. The scales weren't bathroom scales either. They used Intercomp (same as used by NASCR) scales to measure all four wheels and weight distribution. The weights were as follows:

Bombardier DS650

470 lbs. dry

516lbs. wet


Cannondale Cannibal

375 lbs. dry

395 lbs. wet


Honda 400EX

375 lbs dry

399 lbs wet


Kawasaki KFX 400

370 lbs dry

410 lbs wet


Polaris Predator

415 lbs dry

444 lbs wet


Suzuki LTZ 400

372 lbs dry

410 lbs wet


Yamaha Raptor

398 lbs dry

451 lbs wet


Yamaha Banshee

386 lbs dry

425 lbs wet


Remember these are their numbers, not mine.

 

hello ge4x4 ive been waiting to see other pics of your pred im also a pred owner i was wondering about your bigger tires on your pred what kind of tire are they, what size tires are they, and how does the pred handle them such as gearing and control in snow....thanks for any input ...

 

Those big tires that I have on are 26" Mud Bugs that I have on my SP700. It was more of a joke then anything. I wanted to see how they looked. But I did try them out, and the Pred handled them pretty good. Lately there has been so much snow and cold weather here, I haven't been taken my camera with me, but I will get more once warmer weather comes around.
