How much trail riding can you think an 05 Rappy 660R handle? like can it handle deep mud, tall grass,etc.?? casue id get one but im worried about the low ground clearance. so how much do you think it could handle? and what are your opinions on it? (pros and cons)

 

If you throw a decent set of 22" tires on there and a 12 tooth front sprocket, it's an awesome trail machine. The 22" tires add necessary ground clearance and the 12 tooth front sprocket gets your gear ratio right with the larger rear tires. I ran 22" Holeshot XCTs, very tough tires with lots of traction on the trails. I don't think a Raptor would make a good mud bog machine but it can claw its way through some nasty stuff with the right rear tires. IMO, the Raptor is king of the trails.

 

well i wouldnt be mud boggin but just up some muddy hills and threw about 7" of mud at the most.so you think it could handle that?cause im a little worried about the low ground clearance or dont u think it would matter that much?

 

UbetRun is right. although i like the 44 tooth rear with the the 12 front and 22" tires. and that thing will go anywhere your riding ability decides to take you. Its no 4x4 by anymeans but if you can get a run at it there isnt much it wont go up. Sometimes when im riding the trails around here though i wish i was on a raptor 80, man you could haul *** on one of them [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Ground clearance, grouns schmearance.... Get a good skid plate and hang your *** over the back and pin it. you'll go thru whatever you just need speed.

 

You won't get 7" of ground clearance out of any sport quad. I agree that 12/44 is more fun but you'll have to add spacers to your swingarm skidplate.

 

thanxs for all the input i think ill get either a 05 rappy 660R or an 05 predator 500 still havent decided on those two yet.

 

Which i did. things an animal. I dont like to shift between first an second. I catch nuetral too much. so the way i am geared i never have to leave 2nd unless im in a real technical stretch where it takes low speed manuevering. Thing is an animal the more i ride it. I still just want a rapter 90 i was thinkin about a blaster for trails but a 90 would be sweet. reinforce it and beef up the suspension [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] lol

 

Dammit i always do that. Raptor 80 i mean [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] and The preddys are nice quads too.

 

which one do you think is better in ur opinion?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]
