No doubt the Wolverine will take the TBlazer for a walk. But if you look at the price of a TB and any other comparably priced machine, you'll find a Blaster and that's about it. With the Polaris you have more room to be comfy, reverse, electric start, and I have yet to see any other 2X that can go through the rough stuff lika 2X polaris.

Awhile back I was riding with a guy on a new 600 Grizzly when I had my 02 TB, and he thought it was a 4X4 because I had no problems keeping up. Also, my Polaris-hating cousin always wanted to trade his warrior for my blazer in mud or real rough stuff because he was constantly stuck.

And most Polaris' seem gutless because of the stock clutching. A simple, inexpensive primary spring will make a big difference in acceleration. And I believe a stock 250 will top out around 43- 45, or so, but for the price, its hard to beat.

 

I agree with fasternu.

You have to compare apples to apples. Unfortunately (for wolverine owners) when you compare a stock Wolverine with a Grizzly the little 350 will get spanked. As I stated earlier, I'm partial to the wolverine because of the 4x4, light weight, good looks, and bang for the buck. If I wanted an automatic bike for my wife or daughter I would look at the TB. I'm sure it is a great bike.


And to answer the original question: I have not driven a TB (250) but it will need more than a 45 to 50 mph top speed to stay with the wolverine.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

I think that the first thing to find out is if we are talking about the Trail Blazer 250, or the 400. I'd say the Wolverine would win against the 250, but the Trail Blazer 400 would have no problem spanking a Wolverine and it has a lot more Mod potential as well.

 

The yamaha duh LOL!

 

My wife's Blazer will do 49 (gps tested) completely stock.

Ecrider, the Trail Boss isn't faster than the Blazer. Even slower off the start.

Never ridden a Wolverine, but stock vs stock, I'd bet the Wolverine.

 

65 is an estimate ,sorry. I need to get accurate. I know im near 65 because I passed my brother who topped at 58 ,he told me I passed him pretty quick and also told him I was still climbing. That was about a year ago before the mods ,when I bought the wolverine ,I told them not to install the racks. Without the racks what probably gives the edge. I replaced old bumper with an amluminum piece ,front is very light now ,because when I shift from 1st to 2nd the front comes up aka wheelie.

 

In reguards to you talking about racing the three different Polaris bikes, you could probably beat the first two unless you are talking about a Sportsman 500HO...different story. The 700 will beat you in a drag race and I would be willing to bet top speed as well. Not to say that the Wolveine runs bad for a 4x4 because thats certainly not the case, but its had to beat something with twice the engine you have to start with.
