Let everyone bash the Pred, i have owned one of each brand of machine out there, except the cannondale. I like the Pred the most, it is almost impossible to turn it over in the corners, it is VERY RELIABLE, no problems here. Everyone just knows that polaris has the best quad out now and jealousy is kicking in, or denial of not having one. The Predator is the only way to go for overall atv performance. The lt z400 is a little better on handeling, but the lack of power made me lose interest fast. As for the A arms braking, the only way they will brake is if you are doing some very very serious jumping, but any quads a arms will break at some time or another if you ride hard. I have heard of 1 a arm braking, but this guy landed wrong too, on a huge jump. The pred is very reliable.
