stock raptor 700 top speed

[67mopar]

i was talkin to a buddy who has a stock raptor 700 and he told me it tops out around 80mph. im not sayin its impossible but thats hard for me to believe. so wats it actual top speed stock?

[MadDog56]

About the same as most of the other hi-po performance quads, mid 70's.

80mph isn't impossible with the sensor disabled, but it's on the high side of what's reasonable.

I have a stock 06 raptor 700. I tested the top speed with a gps and it done 79 mph up a hill on a rock road and 81 mph down the same hill. The hill is not very steep. I also tested my wifes stock 04 ltz 400 and it went 73. My cousins 04 kfx 700 went 74 top speed.

I own a 2001 raptor 660. 2 days after i got it I was clocked by my friend on the highway doing 140kmph, which is roughly 84mph. after it was broke in and even now still stock(besides rubber) it does 80mph. So im assuming the 700r can also accomplish this.

i have a 700 raptor and the top speed stock is around 80mph

Hmmm, the 700 is lighter, and more powerfull, so it must be the gearing. The 700 is probably geared more toward acceleration.

Wow, I knew it was fast. I haven't hit top speed on mine yet. It's SCARY fast in stock form.

Planning on un-corking it later this year.

At one time i read an article in a magazine, i believe it was dirtwheels about the ds 650's being undergeared and they said that atv manufacturers have to follow guidlines set by some agency and that atvs arent suppost to exceed a top speed in the area of 75mph. the article went on to say the bombardier people said when they were first testing the ds 650 the top speed was in the mid 80's mph and they had to gear down to meet the regulations, so i assume that the top speed would be around 75, but im sure with a little help it would reach the mid 80's no problem
