JFreak,

This one will be up to you. I think the Blaster may be a little quicker, but I'm not sure. Do you like the automatic or the manual. I used to ride with two friends with a Blazer and Blaster. The durability of the Blazer impressed me. My friend beat the &#it out of it. He never had a problem with it. If you like comfort, go with the Trailblazer. I have a 400 sport, and the Trailblazer is on the same frame. It is a pretty big machine. The Blaster is a lot smaller, and may tend to get uncomfortable. I don't know how tall you are, or how much you will grow in the next year. I would go with the Trailblazer. Good luck on whatever you buy.

Go with the Blaster. The Blaster is faster than the Blazer and the Blaster is a manual compared to the auto of the Blazer. Also it is easier to upgrade the Blaster than the Blazer. But on the other hand if you just want to putt-putt around get the Blazer. I beileve the Blazer is good for trails but I KNOW that the Blaster is good in trails even in stock form. So there are the facts so make your own decision also I recomend that you test ride both of them before making up your mind.

I think it depends alot on your size and how long you want to keep it. If you are not a big guy and plan on getting another quad in the next few years the blaster would be good. Now if you are a good sized guy or plan to keep the quad a long time i would go with the blazer, powerwise im not sure there is much difference. Its your call man.
Good luck and im sure you'll love either one.

I'm 16 and my family owns a couple of TrailBlazers. They are awesome bikes. I have ridden Blasters before but they are way small. Yeah they can jump but I bottomed out the shocks the first little jump I went off of. The Blazer can jump too, you just have to be used to it. I have only bottomed out the shocks once. It was off a jump that was almost stait up and the landing was flat. I flew about 6-7' up in the air and about 20 ft. long. So if I were you get the Blazer. And Blazers are faster topend than the blaster.

Blazer250- just because you bottomed out the shocks doesn'y mean they always will. They can be set to a stiffer setting if you want to jump and not bottom out.

Too everybody-Please dont insult the blaster and call it crap just because it wasn't made for people that are 6-3 240. Those seem to be the people that complain the most

I don't think anybody called it crap, he was just telling of his experiance with the blaster. I have been around blasters myself and I know they run good, but I am also aware that they are too small for some people and the trailblazer may be too big for some people.

Get the TB. It's much more quad for the money. (I paid $2995)Not only do you get a full size quad, you get electric start, reverse, more suspension, better looks, better tires, better brakes, more comfortable to ride etc. With a RCR kit ( I paid $295 for mine) it will outrun a Blaster. The TB is heavier so you might have to use some muscle if you ride aggressively. The auto is a toss-up. Some love them, some hate them.
c-ya,

I think if you plan to put a lot of mods on it or to race it you should definately get the blaster. Polaris's are hard to find aftermarket parts for unlike the blaster. I also HATE automatics so thats a downfall of the blazer as well. But I would say that you should test drive both before buying to see which you like the best.
