I can only speak of its predesessor, the 350 Warrior. There aren't appreciable changes between the two so here goes. It does fine when you have traction, although you will be looking for more power. If you ride it in power robbing terrain, the dunes or cinders, you will be disappointed. It doesn't have the ponies to get up the big hills.

Mine does really well but as turtle said terrain makes the diff but i rarley have problems since my exaust and the 12 tooth on front the 350 does really well i highly recomend it but if you have the cash shoot for the 660 but as i said theres not a thang wrong with the 350 but he!! bigger is better my next step is the yfz 450 i love em haha

LOL i already have a 350 i was just wondering how it did on big hills cuz i hadnt had a chance to try it out on anything big lol, i rode a blaster before this, and that wasnt to bad on hills, i think traction is gonna be a problem. The rear tires on the 350 suck *****. They do nothing but spin lol.

I just bought a Raptor 350 and I agree with you that the traction is somewhat lacking I weigh 225lbs and it rides great with me besides the loss of traction.
