it would handle ok but for the best handeling you need to put dune tires on it they get better flotation in the sand.

The Predators do very well at the dunes. Most folks I have talked to went down a tooth on the fron sprocket to get back some bottom end. The sand can suck up that power. No matter what your best bet and best time will be had with paddles tires.

Yeah no kidding, I have stock gearing and a lot of paddles on my tires. I wish I would have went down a tooth in the front for some bottom end. I had to rev her pretty hard on the drags to keep up out of the hole.
