razrs vs klaws

[roundsy]

i do mostly trail riding, little mud, snow and a lot of hillclimbing in gravel pits what tires do you guys think would be the better choice, i ve used razrs before, but i would like to know if klaws would work just as well if not better, also what front tire size works better 21" or 22"

thanks

Im wantin to know this too......

[HiperEX]

my guess would be the klaws because there reversable patter to hard pack and soft terrian and there wear is great i would do a 20/21 tire combo

[roundsy]

how do the klaw xcf compare to razr 2 steeringwise?

im either gonna be running 21" razr 2 with 20" razr out back or 21" klaw xcf with 20" klaw xcr

I just ordered a set of Klaws. I'm keeping stock sizes other then a 10 inch rear wheel. I found a few articles when I was looking around.

No problem, my tires should be here in a day or two. Not sure about my wheels yet. I'm curious to see how they work.

hey racing rice what kind of riding are you gonna be doign with these tires?

[Racing Rice]

Probably about 75% trails (some very hilly, gnarly, rutted, and rocky) and 25% MX. I usually spend a lot of time scraping the crap out of my belly pan.

I would reccomend Kenda Klaw Rears and Razr2 fronts. ;) I've found that to be the best combo for all around riding.

The Klaw rears will shed off the mud better than the Razr's, they slide in the corners a little better, and they are a little rounder, so they will float in the mud/snow a little better.

The Razr2 fronts have better straight line feel, and cornering response feels a little better to me.

yea i was considiering razr 2s up front well i was actually thinking about having 2 set ups because it actually might work out for me better...i was think about running 21" klaws xcf with 20" klaws xcr for dry trails/ summer and then 23" razr 2 up front with 22" knarlys put back for mud/snow, do you think the mud/snow set up would be too tippy?..id really like the added clearance

i run razr's and razr2's, i run the 2's in the mud, and the 1's in the dry, ive been riding the razrs a lot lately, and i love them, very controlable in the corners, and great traction

I had the same question, couldent make up my mind so i got razr rears 20 inch with klaws fronts 21.
they hook up great and look good too.

i had a set of razr rears on a 300ex back in the day and they hooked up alright.But i still think there's something that'll perform better than them tho. Thats why im wantin to know more bout the klaws..

[roundsy]

yea ive also had razrs in the past and am curious to see if something else could out-perfrom them

i like the looks of razrs better then any other tire except itp holeshots

[roundsy]

i like the looks of razrs and holeshots too but looks arent exactly what im going for here...

Still waiting for them.:rolleyes: The wheels are suppose to be here Tuesday, and I would have thought the tires should have been here already. If they don't show up Monday, I'm gonna have to call again.:grr:

[roundsy]

[roundsy]
