whick is better? i want to get a new quad and was thinking about buying my friends eiger, i just go trail riding with alot or friends and need a power full quad thats reliable. i was going to get an eiger then saw a vid of an ozark and was thinking.....which one?

 

How big are you?

 

i'm 15, 5 foot 4 and about 125 LBS

 

You'll fit both of them fine. My fifteen year old rides an Ozark - he's 5'-10" and about 165 lbs.

If you want just fun and a lightweight bike, then go with the Ozark. When I ride ours, I have a blast - mostly because the thing only weighs 400 pounds. Only downside for me is that at 6'-2" tall I am too big for the Ozark so the Eiger is a better choice for me.

The Eiger is more bike, hands down. Faster, more CG, more features. Plus, you can get the Eiger in 4x4 or an automatic if you want / need those options. Ozark will run about $1,500 less if money is a big factor. Ozark tops out in the high 40's, Eiger will do mid-50's. Bottom line is that the Eiger is a better bike, it just may not be the better bike for you.

i can get a '02 ozarck or an '03 eiger and my firend has the eiger and i saw a ozark in the penysaver, well my dad did i still have to look at it. i think i'll get the eiger though. i test drove it for a whole day adn went through ,ost of my trials and it handled it easily on spot i got stuck in about 3 feet of snow on a hill......it was hairy. wiched out and no problem. the only thing is i don't know how much he wanted. it's an automatic, 4 by 4, 400cc, i know it has a warn winch not sure if it's a 1500 or a 2000 or maybe even a 2500. green. pretty nice doesn't have hardly any scratches. he brought it on trials that were groomed so it's not like it got scratched up in tight over grown trails, runs great. his dad changes the oil all the time. ihe just has to ask his dad how much to sell it for, his dads on a buisness trip and won't be back for a week.roughly, i know you never saw if, but how much do you think he would sell it for? i don't even know how many miles he got on it, i'll give him a call about it

 

I paid $5300 for my 05 eiger brand new. I rode it for two years and then bought a bigger bike, my wife beats on it now. I love that bike is pretty peppy for a kid your age, plus whenever you want to upgrade it theres alot you can do. How many miles is on the eiger? If I had to make the choice it would be for the eiger, as long as he is not boosting the price on you!

thats what i'm trying to figure out, how many miles are on it. and i don't know what a good price is, when i fid out i'll post and see what you guys think if it's a good price or what

thanks

 

I am not 100% on the 03 model, but mine has an odometer right there on the dash on the handlebars.

 

yeah so does my firends i think i might buy it. i'll go riding at his house tomarow and see how many miles are on it

 

i read on here that an eiger is faster than a ozark, i have to disagree, just from my experiences, a guy i ride with has a 400 eiger 4x4 stock, and i can outrun him on my ozark, from start to finish. just my 2 cents,

but, if i could get an ozark or a eiger for bout the same $, i definatly go with the eiger.
