hi. im going to be buying a raptor soon, and i was wondering how well it would do in the snow. im sure its all traction from the tires, so could i just put on some studded paddles with chains on the rears?

 

yea it would definatley do well....i doubt u would even have 2 do that much some good aggressive tires and throw ur weight on the back and u will do fine

 

the year before last when I had my rap, with paddle masters I could rip wheelies down the snowmobile trails. it worked awesome!
last winter I ran 22in razrs studed and it was better on the trails with ice under the snow.

 

my friend has 22 in razr tires also, and the work great in the snow.

 

i'll let you know this winter how razr 2's go in the snow. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Or you could spend a whole lot of cash for a pair of snowmoblie treads... I think they have them for the raptor atleast i've seen them a warrior

 

I've heard paddles work great in the snow, are the studded razrs used in ice racing?

 

the best winter tire u can put on a sports atv are the pro-wedge or maxxis 4-snow
here we ride mostly winter and its the tire to have
and thrust me lots of 4x4 stay stuck behing us on trail(with their stock tires)
its need to be seen to belive it....but its really funny to see their face ;-))

 

I trail ride my Raptor all winter....anything under about 5" of snow and I am game....more than that and it's a struggle getting around.

 

The only problem I have had in the snow is the break rotors freezing up. Also, snow packs in around the shifter and it can get hard to shift gears.
