THIS.
You figure out how to wheelie that thing yet?
My Brute can do 70mph with 2 people, what can your sport quad do? Hahaha. Good stuff man. I say if you’re on a quad, you should never get caught. Well, if you know where you are, I suppose.
I was trying Friday night :lol pretty sure I was in the wrong gear though :banghead
The vids are sick, man. I wished I could do a 1/4 of that in the air. Haha.
I looked at some of that GNCC stuff. Looks like trials riding for dirt bikes and sport quads. I’d love to watch some of that. I think the trials would be sick. I love the trails bikes. Again, another something I wished I could do. SS, I’ve seen some pics of your personal trails on the forum. Def. sick man. I have no doubt you can rip it up.
However, what I was riding over. I’m not saying it’s impossible on a sport quad, just not desirable. I’d love to see a sport quad rhomp over the 8"-18" logs with branches and tree stumps all over. However, I just think it’d be to agressive for the clutch and general gearing of a sport quad. Mostly, I’m saying I like to crawl a 4x4 is like ripping up a trail on a sport quad. They are what they are, but designed better for what they do. It’d be like taking a Corvette off roading on a trail, or taking a Jeep Wrangler to a road coarse. Built differently.
On that topic, I think they (Quad Manufacturers) have done a lot more for the 4x4’s sport/utility quads in the past couple of years than any of the sport quads. You use to see the 660 Raptors and DS-650’s and 400’s and then finally the 450’s in the early 2000’s. I know that’s what I always had dreamed of riding around on. But that was years ago. What have they put out recently. There are Wolverines, 420 foremans, Brutes, ThunderCat’s, Renegades, etc, etc, etc. It’s like the big bore 4x4’s own the market. Stock to stock, sporty’s and big bore 4x4’s are damn close on acceleration/top end. I know sporty’s are lighter and more nimble on the trails. But that doesn’t mean shit if you get beat down a field to the next trail…you’re still be behind the 4x4. (Which is nice, so I don’t have to do any crazy manuevers,…I can just toss you the rope when you get stuck. Haha). I know people can work up a sport quad pretty good. But look at some of the worked up sand drag’ed and “redneck” big-bore 4x4’s setups. It seems like I see more people on “youtube” putting turbo’s on 4x4’s than sport quads. Crazyness…and I love it.
what do ya mean??? mines comes up in any gear. lol
so true :lol mine tops out at 70…i need a 450
mine did in the 90’s.
stock 450’s do in the mid 70’s broski
a little intake/exhaust work and a cam mod with some sprocket changing and its not hard to make them 85+mph.
those videos are sick dude. you would never take 4x4’s on that kind of riding tho, obviously
change your sprocket for more top end. Youll lose a little low end though.
fuck that i need to wheelie, ill prob just buy a 450
Im not into doing wheelies and never do them on purpose but Id like to go riding someday. Nobody else ever wants to go and my quad is just sitting in the yard.
a 450 can wheelie in any gear, with pretty much any gearing if you want it too. Not hard at all.
especially on the tfz 450. The 5th valve head design makes the power curve alot more violent then all the other 450’s. Its actually like a 2 stroke. Arm ripping machine.
o yeah??

BTW, they are jumping the Razr’s (side by sides) over 80 foot doubles now and actually have motocross and supercross races with them.
tfz? you mean the new yfz?
With the right setup, I’m sure you’re quad could do over 100 (I would guess 110ish) But for racing, you probably found the sweet setup, (mods/gearing) and that would get you to 90 and kicking ass on a track…on the track!
I’ve been talking about everyday trail riding, getting your money’s worth. I get that you could probably whip my ass on 80% of the trails I ride. I’m not arguing that. I’m arguing that the 4x4 sport/utilty is the best setup/deal going. I know your quad rips and handles. But… can you do 70mph, 2-up, comfortably, with a back rack full of supplies; move a trailer full of (firewood, brush, etc. around the yard, then out back to the dump); plow your’s and neighbors driveways in the winter; move firewood up from the back wood pile down by the woods in the mid of winter; tow a buddy’s “Broke/stuck” quad out of the trails, back to the house; tow trees and carry tools down in the woods to clear/make trails; trudge through the many mudholes; crawl over the rocks in the creek bed up the steep creek ravine; crawl over the mess of trees, stumps, branches left over from a damaging tornado; haha, pull a buddy’s snowmobile out of a bad drift when he was drunk; out run the … to the nearest trail, haha. I’ve done it all in the short while of owning a sport/utility quad. I would ask, can you do that all on your sportquad.
The thread started out on what to buy and why. I love all toys and still have plans to buy an older sport quad for the fun of it,(among many other toys). But I still stick by my opinion. You buy a good sport utility and you’ll be happy over the entire lifetime of that quad. IMO…
250r’s are still the best IMO
pretty intense crashes.

a little pro racing on the Hybrid/ 250r days when some of the first 450’s came out
nothing like hitting a jump going 180ft, 5th gear tapped

I <3 my golf cart! yeah, really hauls ass at it’s goverened 14 mph top speed with it’s busted ass frame, leaky head gasket, and destroyed clutches. and no brakes. Yes, it drifts. as long as it’s on wet grass, going downhill.
