I'm going to buy my son a new quad in Jan. and am looking at the 160 quadrunner he is 15yrs old and has been on atv's since he was 4yrs old and is a very competant rider. The 90 he is riding now is tricked out as far as it can go . my question is has anybody had one of these and what did you think . Thanks for the input in advance

 

I think he needs something bigger, I'm 15 riding a 250 quadrunner and I'm already wanting more out of it. What kind of riding will he be doing and does he like to get aggressive?

 

lots of mud and trails, rides the odd poker run, and the odd trail race nothing serious mostly for fun

 

He'll love it going from a 90 you can find great deals on those 160s too. Sounds perfect for what you want it for.

 

My vote would say that you should consider a slightly larger bike. 15 is real close to the full adult size range, a size that the LT160 'officially' fits into now. While the LT160 will be a nice jump from a 90, I think a 15 year old with 11 years riding experience can handle more. Also, since the LT160 is on the small side for adult quads, he could soon outgrow it. I'd give a serious look at the Ozark or Recon or the Z250/250EX sport versions.

My 13 year old has been riding for 7 years. While he still rides the 90 that he has had since he was 8 he lives for the rides when mom stays home so he can take her Ozark instead. Even at 13, it's obvious that he fits the Ozark much better than the TRX90 - I actually feel that he is safer riding the 250. Well probably get another 250 that will be 'his' ride, I expect that to last him until he's out on his own and can buy his own quad.

Get him something he will have fun on for along time, and not out grow....maybe a z400. Im 16 and am riding a ds650 and can handle it no problem.

 

Im 15 and can handle a Raptor 660R ( for the most part atleast...) Ide look into atleast a 300ex, maybee even a 400ex.

 

Get him a nice KX250....haha....what a jump. No, seriously, a Z400 would be nice.

 

lol, KX250, i saw a dirtbike by ATC that was a 700cc 2-stroke.

 

well if he doesnt want to get him a z400 because he thinks its to big of a step....a blaster??? 200cc two stroke
