Raptor 4x4...?

UNBELIEVABLE RAPTOR 700 4x4 - Dirt Wheels Magazine

THIS RAPTOR 700 4x4 could come in at 200 pounds under the weight of the Scrambler 850. This would help make up the difference between.

A 4x4 sport quad is something nobody is asking for. The few that have been in the market for years don't do well because they don't "sport" well. I remember riding my buddies Scrambler and it was pretty horrible. It was heavy, had a super high seating position, it was really wide, it didn't turn well, it was slow, and it was scary to jump due to the weight. The thing that was worse than anything was it wasn't predictable to turn or slide around.

Get a grizzly if you need a 4x4. They are more capable and useful. If you want a sport quad get a proper sport quad. One that handles well, is lightweight, and is predictable.

Yeah you're fucking wrong.

 

[Pressure Ratio]

Do you want to bet? lol

 

[Chester Copperpot]

I do. My 2014 Scrambler was more stable and funner to ditch and launch into things than the 2014 Grizzly I had.

Sport utility quads are here to stay just like UTVs.

In for Raptor 4x4

?

 

[DEEZUZ]

I have both a 700 raptor and a 660 grizzly. I'd maybe consolidate if this 4x4 raptor came to fruit.

 

[Pressure Ratio]

I was comparing them to an actual sport quad.

The same reason you are saying your scrambler is better than the grizzly is the same reason I am saying a good rwd sport quad i better than the sport-utility. Weight is the enemy. It makes it harder to control and the suspension is limited.

 

[Chester Copperpot]

Except... you're still wrong.

 

[Pressure Ratio]

ummm nope.

 

[Pressure Ratio]

Sport-utility quads aren't the devil or anything like that. It's for owners who can't commit or admit they are scared to ride a true sport quad. lol

 

[DEEZUZ]

Nah I rip my rappy like a mfer but if I was to say go on a trip with these guys I'd want a 4x4, id hate to be the guy always getting winched out.

 

[Pressure Ratio]

So you are saying you are going mudding, not sport riding. Make up your mind on what you want to do and bring your appropriate machine. lol


I get the draw to that segment. But it isn't going to sport well. The weight will just kill that aspect of the machine. Sad but true. Will it be more fun than a Grizzly? I am sure it will be a lot more fun. Utility quads aren't overly fun unless you are mudding.

 

[Lead Pipe]

Lol, sport quads are dead and you're trying to tell me nobody wants sport/utility quads?

If this is the Scrambler you road than I buy your story.

This Scrambler would kick the shit out of any sport quad made on everything outside of an MX track.

Limited suspension. LOL

 

[DEEZUZ]

Well at places like badlands, you could do both mudding and sporting. I'd like to have all in 1, not bring 2 machines.

 

[Pressure Ratio]

You have two machines. lol




Lead Pipe, if you are saying that will kill a sport quad on anything but a MX track I don't even need to waste my time talking to you.

 

[Yaj Yak]

Welp.

Found the guy with 0 idea what he's talking about.

[Chester Copperpot]

The guy who owned a 2014 Scrambler clearly has no idea what he's talking about compared to a guy who road a quad, maybe, 10+ years ago.

ok boomer

 

[Lead Pipe]

Welp this has taken a turn.

 

[Pressure Ratio]

Nice try, but i'm not a boomer. lol



I raced some amateur MX, amateur ATV MX, ATV XC, Hare scrambles, Moose Race, and so on. But ya, I have no idea.




Yes, my experience might not be in 2017+ offerings. But you can't deny the physics.

 

[Lead Pipe]

You obviously have no idea about the state of the industry or the technology in modern machines. You're out of your element here.

 

[Pressure Ratio]

I am aware the old scramblers are not like the new ones. They are closer to sport ATV than utility atv. But they still suffer from the issues I posted. I have ridden them. They have a higher seating position, are about 20% heavier, and aren't as nimble as a 700R. You can't factor out the weight of the equation as much as you would like it to.

I have a suspicion you guys have not ridden most of the current offerings and know how good they are or aren't either.

I also love 2 strokes, so what do I know? Right. haha
