Trying to find an atv for the wife.

She has ridden KXs, XRs, Blasters, My current 400EX and some others.

My biggest question about the 250 Raptor is how does it ride? My wife use to ride a Blaster. What she did not like about the Blaster was it beat her up and she never wants a Blaster again. The trails we ride are rough. She is a good rider, she does not ride that agressive but she likes to get on it too. She can handle my 400EX with no problems at all, but does not ride it to anywhere near its limits. But she does like the way it rides.

I have not seen one in person yet but I know it is a smaller machine. Will it fit her ok, she is about 5'-4" and about 160 pounds. She is not into jumping much.

For those of you that have ridden them in the woods, how do they do in the trails. I mean rough trails, rocky and clay. Also sandy and whooped out.

Or would I be better off getting her a 350 Raptor or another 400EX.

Thanks for the advice.

You should get her a 250,300 or 400ex cause they ride better than a raptor 250. A rapter 250 sits lower has lower profile tires and handles more like a mx quad.

i agree the suspension is setup for mx but can be adjusted and if she wants to get on it then it can keep up with a 400ex in the woods
