I am looking at purchasing Herrmann +2+0 A-Arms and Works Triple Rate w/ Rezzies. I ride with friends at Wayne National Forest, Hatfield-McCoy, Badlands, and 1 maybe 2 GNCC races a year just for fun.

What do you guys think of the above setup for my 400?

Thanks for your input.

You want to go wider for trail riding and GNCC racing???? I wouldn't go wider unless I was racing MX only.

I race with a guy who has +2's on his banshee and he doesn't have many probs in our XC series.

I ride with a guy who has a Raptor that is +2+1 in the front and the width doesn't seem to affect his ability to get through the trails. Aside from tight trails why else would you not go wider? I also see you are in Wauseon, I could practically ride my Mountain Bike to your house. I live in Monclova on Eber.

Thanks for the input, keep it coming guys!

That is just right up the road from here. I have been in several races that had some pretty tight spots, If my 400 was 4 inches wider, I wouldn't have fit through the trees.

For Shocks I say Elka. But it all depends on your money situation. I mean if you can hold out for a little while longer and save up the rest of the money that it takes to get Elka that would be your best bet.



A arms: I don't ride Gncc but I know some ppl that do. Most guys run +1 or stock length. I know of 2 ppl that run +2 and they have no problem. If yo are doing a little bit of XC then I would suggest getting the +2. But if you plan on racing XC all the time then get +1 or +0.

yea if u do XC a lot dont get +2 you will clip a lot of trees

I see already that the general opinion is to not use +2 +0. What are the thoughts on +1 +0? I think Leo had a similar setup on his bike w/Elkas, does anyone know how that turned out? Is Leo still around?

I've got Herrmann +1's along with Elka triple rate's w/ ssd..

together they made a HUGE difference in handling, it's literally like a whole new machine.. I personally don't think I'd want it much wider though, but most of our trails are pretty tight.. The bigger the 4x4's get the wider the trails become though :D

The +1 work great,,I have the houser +1's and haven't had any problems yet. Yes there are some tight spots on the trail,,but goin +2 is not a smart idea. some people might be gettin by with it right now..but goin up a 300 yard hill climb and finding out 3/4 of the way up that your quad won't fit between the 2 trees on the path,,is not gonna be a fun experience...your new arms along with everything else on the quad will be trashed when it stops rolling at the bottom..:eek:
