After watching the build-up videos, i was waiting for the first trail ride with your raptor and its awesome. i really like to watch your videos and the trails....wish i would have some trails like yours at my surroundings. Please keep going !!!
New video dropping later today and it's gonna be a good one! ( Riding video ) thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. I really appreciate it sir
Ok I can definitely tell the difference in this hmf and the alba. I finally got it in today. Now just waiting on my ecu to return. I live all the way in GA. They received it friday at 12:44. Haven't heard anything yet.
they are usually pretty fast but dont hesitate to call them and just ask when it might be heading back. nothing wrong with asking for a friendly update
@@trailblogger I'll probably call tomorrow. I was wondering why everyone called the stock header restrictive. I thought it was big until this arrived 😆😆
Yeah Noah that fox suspension is something else ..I really liked all the different camera angles on the vid makes it more enjoyable to watch ...very cool
looks like that suspension is workn good for ya. man some sweet trails that's for sure id have to drive at least 5-6 hours for anything this good you are lucky great vid man.
They are awesome shocks but take some getting used to. So smooth it really is like floating on air. One thing is you have to keep your air pump handy because they will go up and down on pressure with the weather. So you need to check you pressure before you ride it.
Mad skills around those hairpins and tight cliffside trails. I think you’d do well in a multistage enduro like the Hellas Rally in Greece. Very similar conditions and geo features to the trails you ride. American representation in these European enduros is greatly needed.
Hi, great videos, congrats! Your bike are becoming awesome, very funny to ride it! I want to ask you a few questions. Can you share with me why you decided to go to fox shocks and not elka shocks or why not a Joacaba rebuild of the 700r suspension? and why you go for the +2 alba A-arms and not for the adjustable A-arms and a longer travel shocks? All this questions is to help me decide wich road take in my own build. Im planning to buy A-Arms and suspension, (I have the 700R with adjustable shocks). Your feedback will be very much appreciated! thank you!
I have always wanted to try Fox shocks, I have heard a lot of good things about them. I liked the idea of being able to adjust them myself without swapping springs. They are incredibly nice riding shocks, they really are like riding on air. I can't wait to upgrade the rear to a fox shock. The front shocks on that came on my Raptor are not the reservoir shocks like the 700R or 700R SE models come equipped with. Mine came with very poor front shocks, the non adjustable kind, that would not be worth sending in to Jogaca. I did have Jogaca rebuild my shocks for my Banshee though which are YFZ450 shocks. I have had the Alba long travel arms and they are nice but I like the design of the standard travels more. You can reuse the dust caps, there are zirc grease fittings and I think the tubing is a thicker material on the standard travel arms. The standard travel arms and shocks were also cheaper and within my budget. If you can afford them I would definitely recommend the Fox air shocks. I'm considering converting all my other quads over to Fox now.
@@trailblogger thank you very much for your answer! Did you ever tried elka shocks? if you could give it a score for each shock, standard raptor 700 (no reservoir), yfz450 rebuild by joagaca, 700r reservoir shocks and fox, how it be? thank you!
@@yxiscatti I have test rode a Banshee with Elkas and it rode great but it was only a short test ride, no trail rides. the no reservoir shocks are terrible, I would rate those right about 1 on the scale of 1-10. The rebuilt shocks are great but I have not rode those on the trail yet either. I will know soon though and do a thorough review when I have tested them both better.
@@trailblogger thank you for tour feedback, I will be waiting for your comparison review about diferent shocks. I think it will be a very useful for countless people to help them to decide wich is best for them. Thank you again! Bye the way, can those fox shocks be regulated with less air in them to make the bike lower to have a lower center of gravity to take a ride on road or on streets? Do you understand what I mean? Thank you!
OMFG "mean green" LOL yes but bruiser is tired and needs a rebuild so I expected that. I plan on redoing bruiser eventually. I knew the fox shocks would be a way better ride, I just didnt expect that much better!
@@trailblogger thanks. they make one that bolt on the case. as mentioned my mounts snapped so i kinda need to find a way to ship it from the states to canada. i talked to the seller already. if he cant send it out for what ever reason. can you help me do it? ill pay u even extra via paypal. thats the only case saver that fits my quad on the market now even with my broken mounts!
They are a lot of fun but being so wide has its disadvantages. It's harder to pick a line almost 4 ft wide through the woods than a 2 ft wide trail. That being said they are a ton of fun to ride. I didn't buy mine to compete, just enjoy riding in the woods.
I try riding with some dirt bike friends they left me behind lol they took me on some rocky trails had me dying. Nothing like this this looks fun. I guess a dirt bike and a atv are completely different rides.
Tons of power = tons of fun. That thing's a beast. Awesome video.
I love the appreciation for the quad at the beginning great move!
Thank you for appreciating my appreciation 😄
I like how it's all peaceful at the start but then it gets intense😅
The cinematic shots are getting better. Sick video!

Try Michigan , you’d think twice before going to Cali
Those trails look like a lot of fun
I loveeee your videos, please keep uploading Raptor vids
Thank you I have about 3 more trails I need to post
Beautiful sounding quad! Love the vid
thank you sir!
Just want to say this is the best channel I am subbed and always will be I watch all of your videos love the fourwheeler to love you no homo
Lol thank you I appreciate it sir!
You dont have to call me sir I'm only 16
Looks like a sweet machine and a lot of fun
The camera angles literally made the video a ton better
I'm glad someone appreciated the extra angle thanks for watching!!
TrailBlogger not very many people can successfully pull it off

Just got the email. It's been shipped and are using 2day shipping. Ah can't wait 😁
its so hard to explain the sound, she ROARs lol
be careful, she is gonna be way more aggressive. Im not kidding, it will pull way harder that you are used to. You running the open box tune right?
Yeah Noah that fox suspension is something else ..I really liked all the different camera angles on the vid makes it more enjoyable to watch ...very cool
Thank you sir, I've been watching your channel also :-)
TrailBlogger hahahahah..thanks
Sweet vid mate!! Great to see you out on the new beast!! Looks like awesome trails there with views to match. 👌👌
This one was just a warm up ride, the really good stuff is yet to come
nice quad bro i just got the same quad 2 days ago
i did a first ride video too on the german autobahn to test its max speed :)
u got my sub
Those trails look sick.
Nice bike, next season might be time for me to upgrade from the 660.
Trails look like a gorgeous place to ride!
looks like that suspension is workn good for ya. man some sweet trails that's for sure id have to drive at least 5-6 hours for anything this good you are lucky great vid man.
Too bad it’s Alba now
Nice quad bro. Love the color💚💚
the sierras are looking pretty good bro
Wow those shocks are amazing, I need to try them on my 2016 raptor and rip the desert trails near me!Awesome video👍
They are awesome shocks but take some getting used to. So smooth it really is like floating on air. One thing is you have to keep your air pump handy because they will go up and down on pressure with the weather. So you need to check you pressure before you ride it.
How are you liking the fox front suspension? Can’t decide between that or elka for mine
they are both great. fox is weird at first. kind of prefer the ride of a sprung shock but the air ride is smooooth

I had a few enduros at some point I just got back into quad riding again. Thanks for watching sir and cheers from California
😬 cringing
Very nice, I like your vid greetz from Germany 😎
Very nice video!!!!!
thank you!!
Awesome stuff, keep it going😍💪
thank you I really appreciate it!
This hurt me a little. Gotta shift n let the motor do its thing. Raptor love 🤘🤘
nah I've seen you ride I wasn't impressed lol

@@yxiscatti yes you can adjust the ride height to make it lower
That bad boy sounds mean!
Nice trail man
Do you notice a big swing in power as well as ride between mean green and bruiser?
OMFG "mean green" LOL yes but bruiser is tired and needs a rebuild so I expected that. I plan on redoing bruiser eventually. I knew the fox shocks would be a way better ride, I just didnt expect that much better!
Good video
thank you sir.
How are you likeing it?
Where did u get the case saver? I need one my original mounts snapped! Yours is the custom one!
Hey Paul, Its a DRW case saver I actually posted a video about it with installation, scroll back a few vids on my channel 😀
@@trailblogger thanks. they make one that bolt on the case. as mentioned my mounts snapped so i kinda need to find a way to ship it from the states to canada. i talked to the seller already. if he cant send it out for what ever reason. can you help me do it? ill pay u even extra via paypal. thats the only case saver that fits my quad on the market now even with my broken mounts!
Why didn’t you put wider rear axle in it to match the front?
I ran out of money lol. Definitely on the wish list
Where are you riding? Near SLC?
Shasta Lake City? Yes
Hey, might want to get that rear shock. It will make a dramatic difference in the whole ride
Yeah I believe it! Kinda bucky back there haha
I ran out of money for the project but a wider axle and better rear shock are on the list for sure
Cool video! Where is this?
Northern California
Would I be able to off road a raptor at the level a dirt bike could? And would I be able to ride around in farm fields and in snow?
They are a lot of fun but being so wide has its disadvantages. It's harder to pick a line almost 4 ft wide through the woods than a 2 ft wide trail. That being said they are a ton of fun to ride. I didn't buy mine to compete, just enjoy riding in the woods.
Keep up the hood work
thank you! I will!
sold my banshee.... should i spring for a raptor?
kinda depends on how you like to ride. rappy is pretty heavy and taller compared to a yfz or banshee
what quad would you shooce other than the 700
YFZ Grizzly or another Banshee
I try riding with some dirt bike friends they left me behind lol they took me on some rocky trails had me dying. Nothing like this this looks fun. I guess a dirt bike and a atv are completely different rides.
Depends how narrow the trail is! Hard to fit a quad up a single track trail.
TrailBlogger oh ok these guys be doing that Baja 1000 and Vegas to Reno I try to keep up but no way possible lol
I like mostly have a chill ride lol
I wish I had a quad or a dirtbike
Get one.
looking to buy a 700 Raptor Soon!!!
DO IT
Hey I just bought new raptor 700 2 weeks ago and first time gas light came on went to put gas in and it was smokey inside.... What should I do?
Smoke in the fuel tank??
@@trailblogger yes in the gas tank
Nice
Saludame para el otro video
Hello and thanks for watching!
Yeahaiiiii
Out of 24 min vid ur intro was 4 mins that’s crazy
lol
Over dramatic music but Good damn videos👌🏽
Bahhaa hey this is serious stuff here
Do you know if there is any diffrent in power between the 700 and 700r
Yes the 700R and 700R SE have better shocks. I bought the 700 and replaced them with fox shocks 🦊
TrailBlogger ok thanks great videos keep it up
Dam! I wanna go for a rip!!
