Rubicon beats SP500HO in Drag Race... not once but twice???
#32
Thor,
I am not capable of debating the specifics of why some quads are quicker with larger tires. Maybe it is because of low gearing and high torque... I do not know. I do know my SP500 runs about the same with 27s as it does with 25s. I think Tazgrizz's Grizzly is considerably faster with 27s than it is with stock tires. This does not make much sense to me, but we have compared both ways on the street with no traction variables.
You may now tell me why I am wrong. I will listen, but that does not change the fact that we have tested this several times on a flat paved surface with the same conclusion each time.

I haven't raced any Rubicons, but One of my friends has a 450 Foreman 4x4 (2000) . He was getting blown away, by the rest of the pack. (We all had new machines at this time). Now that his Honda is broken in, he can hit small humps in second gear, wheelie, and ride it out in third gear!. His bike has loosened up and has become much more respectable in the performance department. He still can't take my '99 SP but The Foreman has gotten quicker. And his machine has been trouble-free. Ride em hard polcat
