Default .3Raptor 350 on Trails

how good is a Raptor 350 on trails?

the trails I ride are pretty rough (going up on one part on a trail on my land my Sportsman's front wheels have a hard time staying on the ground cause its so steep)

I know it will make without getting stuck (spinnin) it even though its 2WD, all I worry about is blowing a plug or ruining the clutch.

The raptor 350 will go through just about everything.I went riding 2 weeks ago and the trail was as rough as you can get,with rocks,mud,and hillclimbs and my rap 350 went through it all pretty good,i kept up with all the polaris 4x4's.Never got stuck,but i'm pretty sure i could've if i wanted to.But all in all the rap 350 is great for trails,my brother even likes better than his 660 in the trails.

You can Use 2nd gear to power up hills from basically a stop.

Save you $ for a bigger quad...you will outgrow your warrior/raptor in no time.

I own one and it probably took me one full year of mastering it.

I rode yz 125's in the past but a quad is a different story...my 2 pennies would be save for a Z..or the Kawi or the AC 400.

A raptor 350 has plenty of power for trails, i can hang with any quad on trails, but i also ride it ***** to the wall all the time. When you hit a fireroad or wide open trail, that when you notice you need more juice, but from what i heard a cam and hi comp piston takes care of that.
