gusto Posted February 25, 2020 Report Posted February 25, 2020 The wife and kids and I are looking to go down the west coast highway in October and I am strongly considering taking the Banshee. I have never been to any sand dunes and don’t know shit about sand tires or gearing. I would like to hit the usual spots in Oregon. I would love to find some used extremes but I mostly see sand stars and geckos (which I know are junk). what’s the optimum tire for a 421 serval and a 250lb rider? What kind of front tire ? Size and gearing? Quote
SKEETER Posted February 25, 2020 Report Posted February 25, 2020 You got FB? Ask ryan bruhn. Hes got similar setup & weight I think. I'm 90 mins from coast if you wana buy me a drink Quote

gusto Posted February 25, 2020 Author Report Posted February 25, 2020 Hahaha ya I’ve been down that road before Quote
SandSlingerOR Posted February 28, 2020 Report Posted February 28, 2020 (edited) Just run stock gearing and 20" haulers. 8 or 9 paddle.. Dang if my shee was up and running I'd like to meet up with yah and ride. Edited February 28, 2020 by SandSlingerOR 1 Quote
dano3 Posted February 28, 2020 Report Posted February 28, 2020 the sedona paddles were junk on a stock cylinder bike with toomeys so they are going to be useless on a serval. I run the padla brats with my 421 serval and love them but i have never ridden skats on this setup to compare. 1 Quote
gusto Posted February 28, 2020 Author Report Posted February 28, 2020 Thanks for the replies. All I see around here a sand stars, geckos, and sedonas. Quote
SKEETER Posted February 29, 2020 Report Posted February 29, 2020 Need to find someone here that's got a good set of used paddles you can grab when in orygun. 1 Quote
Man-O-Steele Posted February 29, 2020 Report Posted February 29, 2020 You'd have fun with a 20x10x10 with 14 or 15 front and 41 rear sprocket. 1 Quote
Man-O-Steele Posted February 29, 2020 Report Posted February 29, 2020 I have some 21x12x8 9 paddle skat trak edges almost brand new for sale also. 1 Quote
pp13bnos Posted March 9, 2020 Report Posted March 9, 2020 I don't think a 20x10x10, 9 paddle will be enough tire. Its not for my wifes stock cyl. 4mm, and I'm sure your serval is making a ton more power than it. Quote

pp13bnos Posted March 10, 2020 Report Posted March 10, 2020 If your into drifting, trail riding and just general duning a 20x10x10, 9 paddle extreme will work much better than the V paddles. But if you want to be doing the tree shots by the water, or drag racing I would suggest a 22x11x8, 8 or 9 paddle extreme. Preferably a bead to bead buff (the tire is ground down to eliminate weight.) But you're going to be spending some coin on them. I don't know what your budget is, but if this is a one time dune trip, I would say go with a used set of 20x10x10s. For fronts your dirt tires will work. Gearing will have to do with what type of riding you'll be doing. As long as your not running a ton of gear, it'll probably work. Quote
