Ive ridden quads all my life and im switching to bikes and im wondering if its better to ride on dunes with soft knobbies or paddles with bikes.

 

Bikes? Your asking quad guys what to do when your switching to Bikes?!?! Get out!

Ha ha. JK, JK. Well the people i've seen on bikes (few and far between) at the dunes all have paddles. Not many are out there. They have much harder time getting around it appears.

 

lol

 

Hands down you're gonna need a paddle tire on the rear. They been runnin dirt bikes through the deserts on the west coast for a very long time.

 

you may have better luck on one of these

 

If you're gonna take a camel, take a cool camel.

 

y bikes keep the qaud its better

 

When I have been to the dunes, the guys we were with on bikes were less miserable with a rear paddle tire. Well, they SAID they were having fun...

 

There is no point to switch on bike when you think of running on sand and dunes .....Quad fits more at this place!!

 

I have both an LTZ462 and a CRF450R and ride the SoCal dunes. Both have good and bad points. Paddles are better if you can camp at the base of a dune, but not if you have to ride at all to get there. I rarely use them for that main reason. A new sand-rated tire on a dirtbike works good enough.
