Ohhhh, a 600cc predator? Or a turbo predator? What are they pushing, about 60hp? 65? And that is the most extreme Predator built probably. Also they weigh more than a Raptor, I believe. I don't see how that is a competition.

Fairly mild Raptor are in the 60's all the time. There are some 70's also, probably some around 80? And didn't King's hit over 100 on the dyno on nitrous?

As far as "potential" goes I don't think the Predator has a chance, especially in the HP or drag area.

Now XC and MX racing is a different story. I am sure there are more A class and better riders doing well on a Predator than there are on Raptors.

RR1

 

Scap em both and buy a Bultaco.

 

The Raptor has obviously more potential HP and modification wise. Also, what type of potential are you talking about?

 

straight out horse...

 

Quadzilla. put 3 grand into somthing that will beat everybody else's 9 grand

 

I wouldn't underestimate the predator........I do like my raptor.......but the preds shouldn't be taken lightly.....I bet they could be made mean with some engine goodies and some weight shaving........

 

The PRED has the same size piston that the Rappy does, but with a shorter stroke. That is a great plattform for a dragger. More CC's is not what will get you from A-Z the fastest, especailly in a shorter race. More RPM's = more Wheel speed= better acceleration= faster times. Why do you think the little 450's do so well? The 500 predator maybe be the best of BOTH worlds.




Bigger.

 

I'm tired of this pred and raptor crap who's is faster anybody that hops one up has a fast quad then you just have to have a talented rider because on MX I wax both with a warrior but it depends on the talent driving the speed. But to tell everyone in here the truth a hopped up quadzilla and a hopped cannondale wil wax any predator or raptor

 

hey if u want a quad that comes wit around 50hp stock go get a gas gas 300 and kill both of them!!

 

o ya by the way i guess u havent seen or raced nicholas cycle..
