Default Wheelies...

Ok Iam looking into getting a new quad. I want something fast and something that will ride whellies really good. i was wondering if the YFZ-450 is good for wheelies? Or are there anyother quads that would suit what Iam looking for?


Thanks...

Why would you want a quad to ride good wheelies. When i ride in a race or even trails i want to keep the front tires on the ground so i can win and be under control that is why i got a predator. The way it is set up the front end wont always come up when you goose it, unlike the 400ex and z400 and raptor.

Weelies are fun that's why he wants something that will ride wheelies.
If you're not racing it's not that big of a deal to keep the nose on the ground. If you're trail riding being able to bring the nose up easy is handy when there's logs you need to pop over.
Anyways.
The Raptor is going to be the best for bringing the nose up for wheelies and all out speed.
I've heard the 400EX is great for riding wheelies because it's ballanced well.
But doesn't have close to the torque the Raptor has.

The YZF450 is setup so the nose stays on the ground better so that may not be what you're looking for.

The YFZ is setup to stay down. The Raptor is awesoem for wheelies, its monster torque can reel it right on up.
