1 ST off welcome to the forms and if it was me i would go with the 350 i love mine good power but as anyone who has one will tell you top end power gets old fast theres just not much there when you get to 6th gear sounds like you need 4 more gears it tops out at about 60 but the 300 ex surely isnt no faster. But as i said bottom end power is great plus everyone knows that the 350 motor will last forever. But good luck on which ever you chose and let me know.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I could be wrong but isn't the 400EX about the same price or at least pretty close to the price of the Raptor 350? If so thats what i would get.
Faster more powerful quad.

Have you ridden both?

If I was going to buy one of the two, I would get the 300ex. It is quick and nimble, very reliable. Great bike for tight trails, I ride with 3 of them and do not have anyhting bad to say about them.

The 350 isn't a bad bike either, reliable and stable, just is a little utility feeling to me, but that is just my personal opinion.

The warrior is more utility feeling than the raptor350, the raptor has way different erganomics than the warrior.

If you are dead set on these two quads, I would make the decision based on ergonomics. The 300ex is for a smaller rider whereas the 350 will easily accomodate a larger rider. Both are good sport quads.

If you think you might want more power and speed than a sport quad, the 400ex or even better, the Z400 will get you there. I have ridden all of these quads and owned several of them. The better rider I got to be, the more power I was looking for. Think about this before you pull the trigger.

The rappy 350 and the 300ex are both very fun quads, just don't expect to win any GNCC races with them. I ride with a 300ex and i can say personally i can smoke him through traqils and on a straight, but i have rode the 300 and its very fun.

dont tell the guy lowend power is acceleration, its not. low end is off idle power, mid is after that, and top is towards the peak of the rev range, not top speed
