for everyone that says scrambler and wolverine. arent those not really sport quads and they dont have manual transmissions. not dissing just look at the original post. "which sport quad doest the best in mud and it has to be a manual." i agree that they are both good in the mud tho.

either one of the bikes will go through about the same...the raptor might get stuck faster with the extra power though...unless you becareful and work the gas and clutch...by the way...on your sig it says your are an uncle to 11 kids but your only 16....you must have very productive brothers or sisters

I would say a scrambler would make it the farthest, then a wolverine. After that it really depends on tire choice. If you put good mud tires on a raptor or kfx700 they will probably go farther than any other sport quad. The 700 is an auto belt drive, so I guess the raptor would be the answer you are looking for. Most torque of any manual clutch atv and that is what you need for mud.

I witnessed a scrambler trying to imitate a sport quad in a XC race last year. The first time he blew out a driveshaft or something and was towed back about 10 miles into the race, then 3 months he was in the pits at the next XC race with a bunch of shiny new parts, anyway we take off and about 1 lap into it I watch him snag a nasty rock and his steering stem snapped or something and a pile of parts came flying out and both front tires pointing opposite directions. That's about my extent of experience with scramblers lol.

Manual? humm i did not know that an auto made it a utlilty *cough* KFX700 *cough*....I'd say the Raptor or DS would be better in mud, The raptor might have the edge since it has gobs of low end..

i own a scramblerX 400 4x4 2-stroke and a Z400 and i would call the scrambler a utility with sport plastic and cushier shocks. One think i learned is that the scramblers shocks will wear out really fast if you jump. It is such a heavy bike that the shocks WILL NOT take what a SPORT quad does. It is actually considered a sport/utility by polaris. I blew out my back shock when i landed a 10ft jump over the summer. then i had to pay $300 for a new shock. The scrambler does good in the mud thats because it is a utility in disguise. Although is looks like a sport quad it DOES NOT deserve the name. Did anyone else see the issue of dirt wheels that had a picture of a scrammy with a broken axle being carried by a bobcat? ITS NOT A SPORT QUAD! it just wont take the abuse that sport quads take without breaking something. Thats my experience with a scrambler...................take it for what its worth. My z400 will spank my scrambler anytime....anywhere...anyday PERIOD!
