I love my predator but I don't think that it would be right for such a small person. It is much heavier than the others, and a few inches wider. I race harescrambles in Missouri and love my preddy, but I am a big guy. I do like that the predator comes with razr tires, better shocks and a useable swingarm skid plate. I have noticed that all of the smaller riders in our series are riding the TRX450. I was surprised to see them kick starting the quads, but they get it done. Just my opinion Josh

yeah i am prety small, so u think a pred would be a bit heavy and big for me , so u thinka 450r would be good for xc

Wait. Try out the Outlaw. That design would be great for XC. You wont be winnind a lot of drag races, but That thing will fly down an XC course.

Yeah i agree, you being a small person either one of the 450's would be better, the Pred is an awesome XC machine but maybe not for such a small person, Good Luck on whatever you choose

if I were you I would get either a used 400ex with aftermarket shocks and other parts or a yfz450
