DUNEDEMON Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 The mowhawk will give you better turning reponse than the smooth buff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05bansh Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 Exactly what Dunedemon said. I just switched from the mohawks to the smooth buffs. The mohawks do seem to turn better, but I am a hill climbing fool thats why I switched to the smooths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowpokebanshee Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 I just got rid of my smooth buffs, had to give them away, only thing they were good for, was when your duning and your buddy's Honda breaks down, you have a nice soft spot to sit on and drink a beer while he looks for that missing bolt in the sand. I bought the dune trakkers I think, little heavier but way worth it.... before I had 10 scoop straight blade haulers, with smooth buff fronts, now I run the trakkers in front, and eight scoop edges in ther rear.....hate to say it's better, but it's definately a different riding style, befor ewith the smoothies, I would use the rrear to steer, you know slide it and power out, now I can use the front to steer, which is a lot less work. my wife's bike has mohawks, and she did not notice a difference from the knobbys that were on it before...just keep the ITP\ youll be happier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjfizzle51 Posted April 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 ya after i though about it i thought i would just keep them they are great at turning and i spent 200 on them so might as well thanks for the opinions though guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oilsmoke Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 I bought my Son Sandstar and I have Mohawks and they weight about the Same. Other Son stole my smoothies So if Turning is important to you The sand stars are the Best and they Look Cool to. Keep them. Smoothies Suck But they are Lite as Hell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
