the little differences that make the polaris "better" arent going to make all that big of a difference...before i bought the DVX i test drove a honda 400EX and TRX450, a Raptor 660R and YFZ, a polaris predator, and a Bomb DS...i'll admit some were faster than the DVX but none had the nice feel to them. in my opinion the DVX feels light and you feel like your part of the quad, with the DS and the Pred i felt like i was sitting "on top" of the quad if that makes much sense to you...i know the pred is better than the DVX on paper, but to me the DVX is a better quad...you have to be realistic and agree that it dosnt matter what anyone says(true or false) , if you like the feel of one quad your going to want to go with that quad. in my choice money wasnt a problem so i had no money bias in making my decision

damn, i wish i could say that........

 

^^none of that was supposed to be in italics........lol

 

yea it was nice being able to go look at quads and make my decision just on which one i liked the most

 

Even though the pred had problems its first year, plaris has done a great job at fixing them.
I think, is a out of the box test the only quad that is faster is the banshee, and not by much!

 

My 03 predator has about 100 hours on it and the only problems I have had is a couple of loose bolts.

brad,I am lookin at upgradin My MOjave eventually to either apredator or 400 ltz but no 1 seems to be able to tell me the pros an cons of each 1.Id like to have more power right off the batt w out having to go all out an modify it.If I gotta buy an 8 grand quad Ill go w gas gas 300.

 

A pred has a lot of power stock.....if it is geared down a bit, it has a nice smooth powerful powerband. I think it also has the best steering system too. Mine has been reliable, some haven't but polaris will take care of their customers if problems occur. The pred is also pretty cheap, so it can be modded a litte, and with little mods, it becomes awakened.

 

dvx32...how you like your quad..is it much faster than the 400ex..how long can you hold your wheelies on it.. did u add on a pipe or anything. let me know..im thinking about trading in my 400ex for it. want to hear your opinion.. thanx
