Default Raptor or yfz 450 for trail

Been ridin for a few years and thinkin bout gettin a new four wheeler. does anyone know which would be better for just trail riding and goin fast through the fields and stuff like that. i was leaning towards the raptor because the yfz is supposed to be for racing but i was also thinking of z400. could anyone help?

The Raptor is a much better trail machine. The YFZ is sprung a little harsh for low speed stuff. Reverse is also a bonus out on the trail. You can't go wrong with a Z400 either though.

I got a question. I hear people complaining about the yfz shocks for trails compared to the Raptor. Then why in the he!! do the Raptor buy yfz shocks off ebay and put on their Raptor?

IMO the Raptor is a better trail quad than the yfz. So is the z 400. Ride a Rappy and z and decide from there.

If you want to jump your Raptor at all you need those shocks. On trails the squishy stock ones are very pleasant though. It's all in the application.
