Im looking for a used quad with plenty of power, reliability and handling. I ride wide open whoops and jumps alot along with tight trails. Im looking at a 400EX, Raptor and Bombardier DS. What to do.....

love250x,
I would say at this point in time if you want power, reliability and handling I would go with a used 400EX.

I sometimes go to Rolling Hills MX in Reidsville. But mostly I ride the many trails around my house and an abandon golf course which has nice jumps all over it. The golf course is huge and there are usually many bikes and quads there. My quadracer has been broken more than ridable so I hope that changes with the 4-stroke.

As long as you went with an 02 Raptor you would probably be happy.

If i were you i would go with the raptor thats what i like, i also have a 400ex and it is fun to, it is down on power but the handling is awsome and it is a great jumper, but so is the raptor it only tends to two wheel. i would still go with the raptor. its got all the power you will ever need.
