Are Kenda Knarlys round or flat

[Yee-Haw_400EX]

Is the profile on the Knarlys rounder of flatter? When they are correctly aired up, are they as flat as the stockers or are they rounder?

[rooster300ex]

The pics i have seen of them the 20in are alil rounded but not much. way less then some balloon stock tire. the 18in knarlys are flat. Fast Trekkers are the flattest profile. but wear fast on gravel and hard pack.

[Cody_300ex]

heres a decent pic of my 20 in knarlys. There slightly round but not to bad..

[300exOH]

I think it partly depends on how much air is in them. Mine look slightly flatter than those posted above. When I have 4-5 psi in them they are mostly flat with rounded shoulders.

[Yee-Haw_400EX]

To those that have the Knarlys: How do you like them?

[300exOH]

I am really happy with mine. Hook up great even in soft stuff and slide very well. They almost hook too well for my 300. So far they seem durable also. I haven't had them long enough to comment on wear though. They seem light for a 6 ply tire also.

according to kenda, the knarlys are a hair lighter than the klaws. that is the 20x9x11 anyways. and these are both about 2 pounds lighter than the itp XCR's. however, kenda was weighing theirs and itp was weighing theirs. so, one company may be fibbing on the weights....



i am looking for the lightest possible tire out of these 3. i dont' care about the price nor the traction or durability because i know they will all do what i need. i want light though!

[Sandsjbyz22]

I ran the 18" Knarly's for a couple races. They hooked up great out of the hole but they seemed to wear out in a couple of races and practices. I prefer the Klaws for MX. And to answer your question like someone stated previously the 18" Knarly's have a flat profile.

[450Rchaser]

i have the klaws. There great, real thick

[400exrider707]

I've run a few kenda's. I currently have the 18 klaws for MX, and 20in knarlys for general riding. On my 450 they seem OK, but dont really hook up too great. They suck in the snow too! They're better than my MX tires for clearance, but they dont bite at all in the snow. My stockers bit better in the snow. Dont have much time on them in the dirt though, but I'm sure they'll be better. Also going to try knarly MX (18in) version this spring, they are supposed to rock.

[Yee-Haw_400EX]

I don't care about 18" tires, I don't care about Klaws, I don't care about traction in snow (I'm in Arkansas).

All I care about is if Knarlys have a flat profile and if they hold up well.

lmao...... You tell um' brotha man.:eek2:

Oh yeah, and they do have a flat profile. Just like the holeshots and the razrs.

[IOWAracer]

I am gonna run between 4 and 5 lbs for XC in mine and they are flatter becuase of that

Took the words right outta my mouth, except I've have had mine for a little over a year and the holding up well.

[400exmkt]

It depends on the width of the wheel and the air pressure.

If you put them on a 9x9 then they are gona be flatter than if they were on a 9x8, I had them on a 9x9 and they were flat.

Yes they do hold up extremly well, They wear good and for the price i dont see a better tire out there.

[EXMARK]

Knarlys on a 9x9

[Yee-Haw_400EX]

Whats the width on the factory DID wheels?

[cals400ex]

stock are 9x9

[jacobw]

stock did wheel are 9X8 they are only eight inches wide the only company that makes a 9 in wide wheel is hiper and itp the rest make 8 in wide wheels on a 9 in od wheel

[Yee-Haw_400EX]

I'm just scared they'll look round on my factory wheels.

I had mine on Douglas red lables 9x9.

[jjm400ex]

i just got razr 20-11-9 on my stock 9x8 wheels, and am disappointed on the looks. they do have a balloon look to them compared to the stock 20-10-9 tires. i'm either going to buy a 9x9 wheels or go to honda to buy factory 20-10-9 tires.
why dont the aftermarket companys make the 20-10-9 sized tires

When I bought my quad it came with 22 inch knarlys in the back and there was not any thing flat about them with 5 pounds.

[jacobw]

sorry I see they make a 9x9 in the rec wheels only without beadlocks or reinforcment rings

[400exmkt]

yelp ;)

[jacobw]

I was thinking about the race wheels ooops!!!:D

[Yee-Haw_400EX]

So, what is the final verdict on the profile of the Knarlys? (on 9x8s)?
