How Do the Trikes Do in the Sand?

[rodeofan5656]

so im wonderin how some of the sporty trikes do in the sand.
200x?
250sx?
200s?
350x?

im curious cause ill be headed down to Waynoka this summer, which some of you already know. im just tryin to figure out what i should expect from my 1986 200x down there

Hows your tires?

[atctim]

something important to remember - sand robs gobs of power. Paddle up your 200X and it is gonna feel slow. 350Xs do pretty good, but 250Rs rule the sand!

ive got Duro Mud/Sand 22/11-10's on the back right now, dang near brand new. but ive gotta Kenda BearClaw on the front, which is gonna slow it down quite a bit im sure

You won't be doing a whole lot with those tires. You need paddles for sand.

im lookin at these paddles. theyre cheap enuf for me and have good reviews. im not gonna be an every-weekend duner, so somethin like this should work for me

Absolutely incorrect. Aired down tires like the ones you have will work fine and you will have plenty of fun. A 200X isnt going to climb the steepest dunes anyway. The paddles you have picked out are heavy and wont be doing your 200X any favors. The less rotational mass, the better, especially on under powered machines. Try and find yourself some quality sand tires from STU or Skat-Trak.

I'm well aware of that ezmoney. I'm just saying that paddles will perform much better, even though its a 200x.

my boss has told me a few time that tires off an agro are spot to be good in the sand I am trying to find a pic's. I am not sure if its true I am just saying that I have heard that they work.

those ams paddle tires are amazing. my buddy has them on his banshee and we do hill climbs in coal in pa in the coal mine and they rip and roost like crazy. they dont make thew anymore from what im told could be wrong but if u can get them you should cuz there amazing and everyone uses them in the mine hill climbling for sure.

Paddles would be nice to have. You have to consider how much you will use them and what your willing to spend. From my small amount of experience, molded tires like the ones your linked will dig in a lot. Search around and try to pick up a set of used paddles for cheap


But to answer your first question, trikes in the sand are too much fun!

Going to Waynoka, not sure Id even bring paddles. You dont REALLY need them to have fun out there.
