Default Sport Quads and mud

im looking for a new quad adn i want to be able to hit some jumps, power slide wheelie adn speed all teh sport stuff but i also want to make it threw some stuff back where i ride.theres some mud back where i ride and it usually doesnt get higher than a foot, foot n a half but i was just wondering can a sport quad go threw stuff like that? (specifically the blaster, but other ones under $6,000 too) Thanks.

Default Sport Quads and mud

My brother was going to a sport quad from the same type of Honda as you and he got a 300ex. It good for mud and has higher ground clearance than my warrior. But personally I like my warrior better for mud, as long as it's not soupy, the warrior weighs more and I think gets more traction, also it is less likely to start to float in the front unlike the 300. Both are good beginner bikes. The blaster likes to spin more in mud, or my buddies did, it seemed to light, but the 300 probably has the best suspension for big jumps, and the warrior has the 2nd best. the blaster has pretty stiff front springs, I thank they are better for a track stock.
Just imo, but you may want something bigger, idk

i was thinking around under $4,000 if i could so im thinking like blaster or 300ex. Its mostly trail riding and down roads adn staright ways and small/medium jumps. its not always muddy around here only when it rains for like 3 days. adn thats only liek 5 inches of mud/water mostly water. Im only 5'5" 125 lbs so i dont think i wanna go to a big quad yet.

come to think of it,we had a girl on a Trail Boss today who also got it stuck,and she loves slinging mud

a foot,or foot and a half of mud,is alot of mud to a sport quad

you wouldnt make it through some of the holes here that are only a foot n a half deep

going in,and out of it is one thing,but making it through 30,or 40 feet at 1 1/2 feet deep is anouther

I got a blaster and it is good on jump(about medium ones)It's fast about 55-60mph but if you want it for mud don't go with the stock tires they suck in just about every where so get some good ties with lots of tracktion. I'm 5'8 and 125 pounds i think it wouldfit you perfect

lol,i got ya now,,,i thought that may have been what you were talking about

we have some soup holes here,that vary from 30 to 60 foot stretch's,,,,,some are around 1 to 1 1/2 feet,no way a sport quad has a chance (many have tried),,one in particular comes up to the seat of my bike,,,,every bike that has ever tried it,got stuck,,,,,it cost me a couple grand in mods,and Mudzilla tire's to get through it (over a $50 bet),and im still the only one that made it,,and i remind them every chance i get,lol,,,,bragging rights are priceless
