Does anyone have these mean looking beasts on their machine,how does it perform, dig big holes or sling mud and get past the bogs?

 

I have them on a Griz you can see the bike it type this link in

they get to the bottom of the mud but I'm not sure about the muskeg, but the 2.5 paddles have to be good for something. Their on the Griz just because I put 27 on my Magnum and it stole alot of power. When my dad gets his bike, Bigbore Highlifter everything back, we're going to try them on it. He's running mudbugs(27x12x12 all the way around) and they seen to do all right but we haven't tried them either in the mud, but believe me we're mudders and find it every weekend.

 

I have several friends with them. Some pics of an Xplorer are show below. I believe he has offset wheels and not spacers. But,they do stick out like spacers. The first weekend he rode, he said he was pushing similar machines out of holes they were stuck in with 27s and he was in 2WD. He also has pumped them up to a height of 29.5". Only problem so far, he was backing up and was at a bad angle and heard a popping in his transfer case as in the chain making that noise. They weigh around 40 pounds without a wheel. The lugs are more of a spoon shape than the smaller Vampires.

 

txdoc2, every time i,ve heard that noise on a polaris,the chain rollers are shot and its time for a new one.

 

I had bought 2 to put on the front of my450ES. After one ride I saw all these big boys where good for was something with a hard bottom. I thought they would be good for pulling out of steep holes instead they just dig straight down.This was just with two probally would have been better with four. I traded them back and got 27-11-12 Titans all the way around. I`m gonna get 28-10.5-12 and 28-12.5-12 Outlaws as soon as I can.I just don`t think the 28 vamps are worth the added weight to a machine.
