Between the Z/KFX, 400ex, yfz, or predator, which quad wheelies the best? Anyone know how the predators and yfz do in the wheelie department?

Posted by: 350Xrider

the 400ex would definatly be the best at doing wheelies, then the z/kfx the others are a bit long but still can do them well, but not as good as the 400ex.

I would have to say that the 400ex is the best at doing wheelies. It has an easy "sweet spot" to find and ride long wheelies. I have read(pretty sure in dirt wheels) that the predator is a hard machine to ride wheelies, cause its a longer machine, and its lower to the ground. My friends dad doesn't seem to have a problem riding them on his z-400. If my tire preasure in bolth tires is right, I can probably ride them for close to a mile on my 400ex.....haven't seen anyone else around my area on anything else but a 400ex do long wheelies, so my vote goes to the ex

I got my yfz to wheelie perfect. Its got a great balance point. But the 400ex is easier to bring the front end up. But both have great balance points you just have to find them.

400ex is the best wheelie machine hands down.

Z's and KFX's are far better at "poppin' it up". Thier balance point is nice and thier power is just a little more than an EX. The chassis design, motor, center of gravity, wheelbase, and height of them all combined make them better at "poppin' it up". As far as riding the wheelie...I like the EX better.

went to a poker run in coulterville IL this weekend and saw a guy ride a wheelie with a girl on the back for 7.3 miles. he was even giving people a thumbs up at times while he was still in a wheelie. that was prolly the coolest thing i've ever seen. oh yeah he was on an alba z400.

that has to be the sickest thing to see....doing long wheelies is the funniest thing to do, I am still to see someone around here(north pole that is) beat me....

predator are heard to wheelie there longer and they dont have verrymuch bottomend so it's hearder to do slow wheelies wit them I like the 400ex the best the Z/KFX I havent had much seat time on so I dont konw there probly prtty good to.

Iv done and seen them done on the preditor and they arent hard to hold.....it not as easy as the ex or the others, and the balance point isnt very comfertable. but they are not that hard to hold once u get to the balance point
