Strait paddles are the best for pure traction. The v-paddles help you slide, and shoot bowls better at a cost of some pure traction. I've found on my banshees that a strait paddle 20 inch tires on 10 inch rims slide almost as well as V-paddles.

 

Due to its weight and torque you should stick with a 22" tire. If you want to get the best traction and don't mind sacraficing some dunability, I would reccomend the straight paddles and learn to dune with them. It takes some getting used to though. I've been using straights for 4 years now with no regrets

 

I have the sand Stars on the 04 and 22inch skat trak Haulers on the 03 I prefer the Haulers but they do take a little extra effort to dune with. A little more wieghting and unweighting the pegs. When it comes time to replace them iIam going with the Extreme Haulers

 

When I duned mine alot I ran 22" 10 paddle skat trak edges. They are a v paddle. They dont do bad for straight line hookup and they will slide easily. I like them for dunning. I dont do alot of dunning anymore So I run straight paddles. But they still dont dune bad, its all what you get used to I guess.

 

haulers, you dont want to lose that race now do ya.
heck i can dune with 4snows.

 

has anyone had the problems of the paddles coming off the haulers or extreme haulers or what is the best staight paddles out there just looking for your guys 2cents. thnaks[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

I.ve lost paddles on reg. haulers with mine and so has Doug, we both have extremes and not a problem at all. I have 3 years on mine and I got them used. A set of 22 extremes will probably pick you up about 3 bikes over what you're running now.

 

crazy i am running 22's right now. how many paddles are you running.

 

22x11x10 - 8 paddle Extreme Haulers. If you have internal engine mods you could go with the 9 paddles.

I mostly dune and these work just fine for me. But, I honestly don't know any difference.
