what would the best paddles be for my yfz450. Ill be doin mostly dune riding cruising around and i will be hillshootin a little bit. I was set on the ITP Sandstars but i have since heard they are heavy, and that i should look into a lighter paddle... So what would you guys recomend.... my yfz will soon have a KN filter, be jetted, and either a Yoshi, pulsecharger, fmf factory 4, or dubach exhaust on it. thanks for helpin me out guys

 

I have used alot of different paddles out there and the best out there are definetly the skat-traks extreme hauler. They are light weight and you get lots of traction.

 

I havent seen the paddles your talking about but are they straight or v-blade. I prefer vblade paddles. not sure why but the ones ive driven with just felt better to ride on....... also what about the maxxis rooster vblade?

 

if your a striaght dragger or drag most of the time........get the haulers, your grab very good, but if u do half and half or more roaming then dragging get the v-blade, some skat trak's sound good..corners real nice for those awesome roosts and climbs pretty good but not as good as haulers, but u have 450f so dont worry u kick everyones @$$ specially adding that yoshi [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] just make sure to jet it properly and if u do lots of sand riding get a k&N outterwear filter keep your stuff clean and sand free [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I run the 20X10X10 8 paddle haulers on mine.
Your YFZ will pretty much be able to turn any paddle (Sand Stars or whatever) without problem, so don't let that hold you back unless you are going to get heavy into dragging.

The "edge" are also made by Skat Trak (same co who makes the haulers), and they are the "V" type paddle tires.

The Sand Stars should be good for your type of riding too, and are pretty inexpensive to boot!
I have heard good things about the Sand Stars, so don't necessarily count them out.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Check this site out.

hey thanks for the offer but im going to pass. I have decided to get either the ITP sandstars, Skat Trak II, or skat-trak edges. thanks for all the help guys. Happy Duning

 

Just for your info, the Skat trak edges you listed as one of your choices are the ones that 344PV is offering you at a decent discount.
Might want to at least get in touch with him about them. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
