Mud And Trail Build REVIEW

With the growing popularity of mud riding, sinking the quad of your dreams into the bottomless bogs and creeks can be as simple as buying a factory-assembled unit or as hard as working countless nights in the garage. Having built many mud-capable units in the Georgia ATV laboratory. Our stock 850 XP tranny is tough, but I just wasn't sure if it could pull the 31s without some type of CVT upgrades. Twisting the tires with 70 horsepower wasn't the concern, more like how long would the belt and CVT last in the grip, no grip situations of mud, and we knew it would at the very least affect our Polaris's get up and go. Power is at a importance on the high and lifted quads these days, and with huge tires and added weight I wanted to at least boost what power Polaris had already built into the 850 XP. I put on an HMF exclusive Swamp Series XL with a mild snorkel to keep the decibels down, add power to the wheels and to keep everything above water in the deep stuff. Having made all the motor modifications we felt we needed for our trail- and mud-bog-busting 850 XP, our focus went straight to the airbox and CVT venting and fresh air intake. this is a very good product for the trails in the south. thanks and have a good day :)

Review

I am today gonna write a review on some of the best tires for trials that are out on the market.
The Grabber AT2 features a chip- and tear-resistant tread compound molded into an aggressive, symmetric tread design featuring five rows of independent tread blocks to blend on-road handling with off-road traction. The tread blocks feature multiple traction edges and sipes, as well as are molded to accept optional metallic studs to increase wintry weather traction. Tread block sizes and shapes have been computer-optimized to allow the aggressive tread pattern to remain relatively quiet and even wearing during on-road and highway driving. The tire's internal structure includes twin steel belts (some sizes reinforced with nylon) on top of a two-ply polyester cord body to combine strength and durability with a quiet ride. which is quite good in the florida trails and there is also the All-Terrain T/A KO features an aggressive, computer-optimized, high-void, all-terrain pattern with interlocking tread blocks and innovative siping to provide traction and handling without generating excessive noise. "ShoulderLock" upper sidewall traction bars maximize aired-down performance by provide the clawing action necessary to develop traction and steering control in deep dirt and sand. The tire's internal structure includes twin steel belts on top of BFGoodrich's TriGard (3-ply polyester cord sidewall plies) construction for strength and durability. Single strand beads (a single strand of bead wire is continuously wrapped multiple times until the desired strength is provided) enhance the tire's fit to the wheel to improve uniformity and ride quality, while rim protectors molded into the lower sidewall help shelter wheels from off-road hazards, especially during aired-down operation. thank you
