Thats exactly what I was looking for. I ordered a set for my DS from rocky mountain atv and they should arrive today. Others have had good resluts from them. They kind of resemble maxxis all traks and I had really good luck with those on my polaris 400

I used them on my Raptor and Warrior and really like them. They are very tough and the "breaking bars" really work. You'll like them !

I have them, they are good for MX not for muddy conditions though and when racing on damp conditions such as grass they slip. They are tough as nails and will never go flat great Hard pack tires. I have those and Maxxis All Tracks. The Maxxis's are great all around tires and hook up like no other.

I can't relate to where these other guys are coming from, but I had them on my Raptor and HATED them! I felt they were very unpredictable; especially when sliding corners. (no, the air pressure was not set too high) They would bite OK up to a point, then break loose into a not-too-easily-controlled slide that almost caused me to "buy the farm". I took them off, and put on a set of Holeshots instead, and the difference was like night and day. The holeshots are worlds better, in my opinion. I will not buy another set of Bandits, personally. I must admit however, that the Bandits seem to work a bit better on my Warrior, though, as that's where they found their new home. Just my 2-bits on the subject.
