I got it up to 51 mph today.

At this rate one day it might be able to keep up with my old Honda.

Congrats Specta!.......got that barrier broken. How's the stability at 50 mph? If I go 50 mph on my X2, it's not sustained for long. I did traverse the Black Rock and Smoke Creek Deserts in Nevada this year twice and we burped up to 50 mph plus a few times, but not comfortable doing that all the time......it's stable and but the driver awareness goes way up.

It feels fine.

I'm really not comfortable going 50 mph on any ATV.

One slip and you're a gonner.

I like how easy it is to adjust the high-beam.

thanks Lolumad for the comment

You're going to love them. Besides being aggressive they are the best handling tires I had so far and I do get to run a huge variety of tires.

Remember 2 1/2 psi works real nice when they are mounted on ATVs.
