10 paddle on 400ex

[tstrenuous10]

does anyone have this setup? how do you like it? i have the alien pipe and little other things. is there a noticable difference in these? speed? handling? horsepower?


i wanna know as much as i can about these cuz im going to oregon and want to know if its worth the 200+ dollars to buy some instead of the v paddles....the more you can tell me the better.

ur going to burn ur clutch's smooth up...ur going to have to gear WAY down...10 paddles are way to much for ur mods...if you had a full blown motor,aftermarket clutch,and stuff you would be fine...i run 21x11-8 9 paddle haulers on my 440 they hook up unbelievable and they arent to heavy...you should try them...you will like em..but dont get 10 paddles...

I would get 6 7 or 8 paddle. I have 10 and it is too much I think. They hook up great, but really bog down the motor after 3rd gear.

i wouldnt get 6 or 7, just get an 8 padlle tire that would be the best thing to do

I run an 8 straight paddle in oregon, and it is kind of agressive. I ran at Sand Lake not to long ago, and when taking off, I had to give it some gas. They would dig right in. It seemed good, and I liked them. I hope with a pipe, and filter, it should have some more grunt. Also, I'm getting a 14t front sprocket, so that should help. IMHO, the v paddles don't hook up as well as straights, especially in hill climbs. They seems to clean themselves out too well, and immediately dig down, and you get stuck.

8 paddle haulers have always worked real good for me on the 400 and the 450.
