I sure like the 20" razr's and holeshot xc's and xct's. I think bandits would make a great desert tire. They look tough as heck!

 

Upon reading a bunch of posts on tires on this forum, I recently bought Bandits for all four. 22” XC’s for the rear and 23” XCRs for the front. All together (4 tires only with shipping) they cost me $270. I put my used Kendas on e-bay and unloaded them for just over $120. For $150 this is one awesome deal. I agree with the comparison btw these and the kendas. Right about one trillion times better. I have been impressed with them in thick mud, gravel roads, loose dirt, and jagged rocks. I haven’t tried snow or sand yet. They climb right out of slick muddy trail ruts where my kendas would have left me for extended periods of time. I love them.

 

Ok, I ordered a set of rear 22x10x9 x/c Kevlar Belted Bandits today from Rocky Mountain ATV. THey came to $150 bucks, kinda pricey, so I hope it will be worth it

 

Did they give you a day of arrival? I originally ordered mine through them, but when my date came and went, I called them to find out where they were, and found out that they had not been shipped. In fact the sales person couldn't tell me when I could expect them. I started calling around and found a better deal on tires that were actually in stock. I bought mine from Tee's Offroad I told them the price to beat and they beat it.

 

They told me that they had them in stock, I know this, because I was going to get the cheaper a/t tires, but they were out of stock in those. Oh well, just gives me an excuse to buy the x/c tires. They said that since I called in the morning, that they would ship out today, and be here in 2 to 3 days.

 

Hey AdamsBadDS650,

How is that clutch lever working out I am getting one today and was wondering if you have any feed back on it?

 

I didn't see a whole lot of difference in the pull, it is easy, but it was easy to start off with. I do like the grip, and the angle of the lever though. Very comfortable. It is shorter than the stock lever too. I like it, and it was easy to install. No regrets, but Rocky Mountain is out of stock in the Yellow and Red ones, I got black.

 

I have the bandits, 23" fronts and 22" rears. Way better traction than ohatsu and stock. Definitely worth the money. Need heelgaurds afterwards though.
