Also, tire mods make a huge difference. I run two type of treads: Razr's and 20" Blackwaters, depending on where I ride. The BW's are amazing at increasing traction, and minimizing wheel spin. My Pred hooks-up way different that stock, which I prefer since I do not race MX.

The stock rear tires don't work well on all surfaces either.

I had my butt kicked last weekend by a DS 650 (2nd every run) and a Banshee (1st every run) they both were running 22" aggressive tires.

I tried to tell them I just couldn't hook up like they were and that's why I was getting beat, but they were giving me a very hard time about it on my Polaris Predator.

We were dragging on slight up hill of foot long grass.

I could beat the other Banshee with totally worn out Razors no problem. lol

After taking abit of teasing we raced on a paved surface where I was able to get my much need traction and after the first and second run it was them complaining about having poor tires after loosing badly to the Predator and the same results on a gravel road.
