i just noticed that alot of the top gncc guys are running thier razr 2 front tires in the opposite direction than the manufacturer recommends...WHY? what are the advantages? . i would just try it but i can't ride for two more weeks due to a foot injury.thanks

I tried it and it seemed to me that the front pushed a little in the corners. I never ran a race just practiced like that I think it is personal preference try see if you like it.......

When ran "backwards" the fronts are much less darty and they don't try to climb out of ruts in corners as bad. I have spent time trying them both ways and flat out do NOT like them running the "correct" direction.

To add to that - When ran the opposite direction, you will lose a little braking power but nothing major. I run them opposite as well. Like you said, I hated the way they tried to climb out of a rutted up turn.
