im starting to race xc this spring and i was wondering if my kenda knarlys would be a good tire to use i mean there good in mud but they suck in snow...i was also wondering what else i should get for my mechine to make it XC rcae ready, i was thinking of an hmf slip on and jet kit a uni filter and new swing arm plate... and what type of classes are affored for hair scramble gncc event.........

 

any help would be nice guys

 

Your Knarly's should do just fine. There are many who run them in the GNCC circuit. Those tires are made for such trails.

 

2 things: ALOT (alot) of kids on here dont race santioned races..they race their friends Banshees,Raptors,Bombs,Preds and all seem to win by anywhere between 2-12 quad lenghts..no matter what size quad they are on.

I race harescrambles here in Mi. I raced both the Razr 2 and Razr-R

I use the Razr-R for forward bite in muddy condtions. And The Razr 2 in all other coditions.

I kept the Razr-R fronts all year cause they seem to track very well.

 

Forget about the motor and get shocks.
That's my 2 cents. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
Have a ball dude!

 

I agree with LT80, shocks first!!! You can run a stock class and be very affordable, but in a XC event, if you are wanting to go faster, suspension first!! In a 2+ hour event, you will go faster if you aren't tired at the end, and you want suspension that can handle the changing conditions during a race...and they change fast!!!
