Which of these quads would you say was better. A DVX400 or a 400EX when it comes to power, price, and reliabilty.

 

dvx, debatable, 400ex.

 

dvx newer design, however the 400ex might top it in reliability.

 

well for 05 they are both the same price, I woul defenatly say the dvx has more power, but the 400ex is by no means a dog.... i havent had any real problems out of my dvx, but u really cant beat a honda's reliabilty

 

DVX, just cause it's something different

 

Suzuki copied the 400EX geometry, and then put a better engine in it. The Z (and its variously colored clones) is the best all-around machine currently available!

 

Well, the Predator has my vote for best play toy. But each to his own, I guess.

 

He did say all around. I was on a YFZ, up against a tree. I got off and pulled. This same tree with the Z-400 I clicked it into reverse and let the clutch out.

I think they are both great, but have different places to shine. I would not ride a YFZ in Western Washington trails.

As for the DVX against the 400ex. I did motor work and then beat a Z. I think they are better then the Hondas, I bought mine in 01 so the newer quads were not here yet.

 

I did say ALL-AROUND! The YFZ is a bike for the track, which can be adapted for the trail. The Z is a trail bike, which can be adapted for the track.

I do however prefer the EX for really slow, more technical trail rides. It can be lugged down, and doesn't mind being ridden slow, where the Z likes to rev and therefore requires some clutch slipping.

 

I think the 400ex is the most reliable for trial riding and some racing.. IMO
