Which of these is a better all around quad I will use it for a lot of hillclimbing and jumping. And is the faster of the 2. Thanks for any help.

 

The Warrior would probably be better at everything you mentioned its faster, hillclimbing, and jumping. If you want an auto-clutch the Lakota will still work just fine.

 

I have a 99 Warrior. I love it. I put a set of Blackwaters on the rear. There ain't no place i can't go, and I still get there fast!!! I amaze people on Polaris Magnum 500 4x4's with the places I go.

 

A big problem with the Lakota is the shifting pattern. Neutral is just one down from 1st without activating any type of lockout switch. I know two people who got into serious trouble thinking they could shift down once more on a hillclimb only to find neutral and literally fly down the hill backwards. Very scary to watch you friends get rolled over by a 450lb quad. By the way, don't hit your rear brake if this happens to you.
