Don't know.. Just wanted to keep your post at the top.

C'mon guys, this is an easy one!!

What I do know is that sand GOBBLES HP. The 300EX isn't that powerful of a bike stock. I'm not saying that you wont have fun, but dont expect the EX to roost around in the sand like it does on hardpack.

To your paddle question: The straight paddles are mostly used for drag racing. The "V'd" paddles would be your best shot I would think.. I'd say Haulers or something to that effect.

I have never ridden in dunes, but I talk to alot of guys that do, so I ALMOST know what i'm talking about

 

I had 2 completely stock 300EX's at Glamis last New Years and they both had plenty of power. Just don't expect to be racing anyone up Olds hill as they can just barely make it up. They did great everywhere else. Even Competition Hill was no problem. I was using Cheng Shen Dune Sliders on both. Worked excellent in the bowls.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

It'll go anywhere you point it. Except for the giant hills like Olds Hill.

 

We run Skat-Trak 6 paddle Edges on a lightly moded 300 (pipe and K&N), and let me say that 6 paddles isn't enough! The tires do a lot of spinning, so I WISH I HAD GONE WITH 8 PADDLES! With a light to medium weight rider, the bike does fine.
