Very Smooth. Deceivingly rapid acceleration. May be faster than a modified Honda 4TRX 250R at top end. However, 250R still has sizable holeshot. Begging for a performance pipe and clutch tuning. These mods could put it even closer to the 250R off the line. Slid through turns very well. It never felt sluggish in the corners and didn’t have excessive body role. PVT system was easy to get used to. No missed shifts to worry about, particularly on long, steep hills. Bike didn’t want to wheelie or fly off bumps like 250R. But, it didn’t feel front heavy like I thought it would. Single lever front/rear braking system worked well and was easy to use. Would have preferred separate front and rear systems (aftermarket potential). No compression braking on downhill runs without blipping throttle. You have to rely on braking system more than conventional bikes. Foot board need foot pegs. I wanted a fixed position for my feet. Positives - Very impressed with performance and ride quality. The bike was very easy to ride. It may actually be too comfortable for novice riders. They may push beyond their skill level. Fun factor was high. The bike is priced right and has hop-up potential. Negatives - Needs split braking in order to achieve true performance level. I would also add foot pegs.

My pick for favorite vehicle. Quick, plenty of power, steering was tighter than all the rest. No need for a steering dampener. Rear end was more controllable than the Trail Boss 250. Font end seemed to be much lighter than the rest of the vehicles, thus causing the wheels to leave the ground on several occasions (I should know!). Braking was the best on this model. Engine responded the best.

Would like to see a higher outside lip on the running boards/foot rest so that your foot doesn’t slide out. The lips aren’t high enough to be able to use them for leverage on high speed turns.

Second Choice. Good power and responsiveness. The rear end on this model was the most squirlly of them all which made it the most fun model.

Not as responsive. Nimble. Neat quad for smaller riders or beginners. Not nearly as powerful as the Trailblazer.

The two strokes were my favorites. The more forward seating position kept the front end on the ground for me and the power was instantly there for tail out fun. If I was to buy one, one of the 250 2 stokes would be my choice.

For a first timer it felt a little tipsy. This was a fun machine to ride. Lots of power. The auto trannies are great. Lets you concentrate on the terrain and having fun instead of shifting.

Thumb control very awkward. Thumb gets fatigued. Needs steering dampener to control steering better. Rear brakes are easy to locked up.

Good power. Great fun sportier ride. Less power than the Scrambler 500 but equally fun. Sufficiently fast for me. 2wd only. Amazingly nimble and responsive. Handled the rough stuff as well as the Scrambler if not better. This would be my 1^st choice if I didn’t need the 4wd ability of the Scrambler.

Low end felt good- no top end. Easy to handle.
