Honda doesn't’t think it's worth their time to work with online ATV publications. Earlywine ATV and Cycle does however. Thanks to them we were able to test a mint condition bone stock late model 300EX for our comparison. Be sure to check out the video below for more.

A few weeks ago we brought you the first part of our GYTR Raptor 250 vs Honda 300EX comparison. For the $1100 difference in price between the two machines, we were able to outfit our Raptor 250 with a GYTR front bumper, skid plates, a complete GYTR exhaust, GYTR filter with pre filter and a billet adapter plate and a GYTR jet kit. We wound up going with a much richer main jet instead of the one provided in the GYTR jet kit. So before you head off to your ride spot thinking you've got it all covered be sure to check your jetting before or your 300EX mounted buddies will be roosting you.

With our jetting complete we wanted to do two closed course comparisons on both track and trail, however the weather in Ohio proved to be very uncooperative as it always is this time of year. With the ground saturated and covered in a dusting of snow, we had to skip the trail portion of our comparison and took our GYTR outfitted Raptor to Earlywine Indoor Motocross Park, our favorite place to ride when we can’t ride outside.

Due to the fact that companies like Honda don’t see any value in online ATV publications, Nikki Earlywine was cool enough to lend us a bone stock late model 300EX for our comparison. Fortunately the 300EX was in mint condition so no manufacturers can claim that our test was unfair in any way. Keep in mind though, this test is not a shootout, we are not saying that one machine is better than the other, we are simply making an overall judgment on performance based on lap time comparisons. To make sure that both machines would be ridden to their limits without crashing, we acquired the services of Pro-Am racer Team Media Allstar’s Aaron Meyer, an expert rider to say the least.

A complete GYTR exhaust, filter setup and jet kit are said to give the Raptor 250 15% more midrange and top end power over the stock Raptor 250. After testing the products ourselves we whole heartedly agree to the increase gain.
