hey guys I am lookin to buy a new ATV I am gonna buy new no matter what and I currently own a trailblazer 250 I want a new one already. I have ridden my friends (Jackknife) Z-250 and it is awsome but I have also ridden my fathers trailblazer 400, And I love it too. I like the automatic feel i am more comfortable with it I was wondering what you all think? what would be better overall, 6'1 190lbs I ride and very rough and advanced terrain! please help with your thought on the two atvs! thanx!

 

i think you would be better on the tb 400 just because it is bigger and prolly has more ground clearance and longer travel suspension for the rough stuff u ride in..neway i think the 250 fits people in the 5 foot range..i read it in a mag

 

thanx for your reply, I believe you are right I am not lookin for speed but somthin to play with on the trails as long as I have somthing that goes 60 I am fine! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

The 400 is a LOT heavier and will ride a little better (not much as the Z ride pretty good) it's definately faster as it's a two stroke 400 not a 4 stroke 250 and will make you a good trail machine as long as you don't plan on doing any jumping as it's a real turd in the air...
I will say that when your on a BIGGER HEAVIER bike it tends to wear you out as it seems like you have to manhandle the thing,,,,,,not dissing Polaris as I have had 2 and had pretty good luck with them but another thing to remember is that if you plan on trading or selling them in the future you should plan on taking a beating as resale is noy very good on them.......

 

ur a big guy get the z400 treat ur self right polaris isnt the best but once u get comfortable on the manuel its way better than automatic

 

naw I would love to have a Z- 400 but my father will let me have either a z-250 or a trailblazer-400 ( dont ask its a pricing issue!), and i am not lookin to sell it anytime soon!! and I have ridden my fathers and its actually not too bad when you jump it but I am pretty much a begginer at jumping, I am not lookin for 6 feet in the air I can get maybe one or 2 feet havent really tried to get any air but its good enough!

 

just to let you know the z-400 is a 4 stroke not a 2 stroke.

Trailblazer 400 without a doubt.
The Z250 is a small underpowered beginners bike. You’d get bored with it quickly and there’s not much you can do to boost the power.
The Trailblazer 400 has a full sized chassis and a grown ups motor, 36 horse stock and 80 horse aftermarket kits later on when you get the need for more.
I had a 2000 Scrambler 400 2X4 with trail mods and it flat out flew, at least as fast as my Z.
They suck on a MX track but there great trail/dune quads.

 

I would go with the tb400.

 

hey roosthrower, how do those fast trekkers look on yer blaster? do they slide good to?
