I live in Central Alberta, Canada and ride in everything – snow, mud, muskeg, rocks, fallen trees, stumps, river beds and hard pack etc, you get the picture. I DO NOT mud bog but would like to be able to pass through if need be while exploring/hunting, whiteout being towed out each and every time I see or venture into a mud hole. :happy:
I would like to have as smooth of a ride as possible while on hard packed trails but also have something aggressive enough to perform well in SNOW and SOFT TERRAIN!
My new 2015 will be here this week and strongly considering the 27" or 28" Maxxis Zilla’s, I also have the JBS Extreme Kit on the way with machined sheave and 18 gram weights instead of 16 or 14 gram weights (to keep RPM’s down for better fuel milage) and a purple spring. This kit, as you know, will help offset the weight gain and increased tire diameter from stock to after market tires and rims.
In addition I also have a 2" HighLifter Kit on the way so I can go with a small tire but still get some height from the lift kit rather than trying to get all the height from over sized tires that will reduce precious HP and bottom end torque.
While on the topic will I need over fenders/extensions to protect from trail debris with 27" or 28" Zilla’s?
I know everyone will have there opinions, I am looking for feedback from others that ride in similar terrain and trail conditions.
In advance "thank you" for your time to all who respond! :peace:
