Key Features:
The Blaster Special Edition
sports black paint and flame graphics.
Combine a potent, quick-revving 195cc air-cooled, two-stroke with an amazingly light 324-pound dry weight, and you’ve got a super-nimble, super-quick ATV that’s ready for just about anything.
The shortest wheelbase around, 43.3 inches, and a seat height barely over 29 inches result in what you’d expect: razor-sharp handling and great all-around performance.
Long-travel suspension front and rear tames the trail and keeps things comfortable too.
Front and rear hydraulic disc brakes mean less unsprung weight with better feel in a variety of conditions.
2006 will be your last chance to purchase a new Blaster.
