Has anyone tried the Kenda Klaws from motocross? I am looking at getting the 20 inchers and was wondering if anyone had any input on how they compare to Razrs or Holeshot fronts? My buddy says they are the ticket but i was wondering what you guys thought. Thanks

There was recently a shootout of the Kenda, Holeshot and Razr MX tires. The Kenda got the knod overall. I also recently saw a national level pro, Johnny Hale, running them at a local race here. He seems to like them.

They are priced right, that's for sure, and look good. They will be my next set.

Man do i feel special when i answer these threads!

They are Great!

only thing that i dont like about them is they reveal the 400s first gear torque and it can be a little hard to steer.

Holeshots: They are coming on quads stock:o

Razr's: I cant diss Razr's on performance.

I run Kenda Klaws for Xc, and thay are the best for me. I have done a little Mx and they work good for that too, just add about 5psi to what you normaly run and that should be a good place to start.

Yeah i heard DirtWheels had a shootout with the Klaws, Holeshots, and Razrs. I havent been able to get my hands on it yet, but I heard that the Klaws were the tire of choice. I am prolly going to order them this weekend from the tire guy in town and hopefully maybe get him to sponsor me. Spring Break next week!!!! KICK ACE!!! yeah and the bear claws are a totally different ball game than the Klaws... We are talking MX, so i dont think the Bear Klaws should come into effect........ Outty~~~~

I have nothing bad to say about the new Kenda's. I got them about a month ago and i love them, we still have a little snow here and i haven't been able to try them on the track yet, but I know that they well be great,
If you are you going to be racing with them I would diffinitly go with the 18's,
As soon as the snows goes away and i get on the track i well give you a review of what i think.

With shipping it came to $550. I got them from Magic Racing and I would HIGHLY recommend these guys. Everytime I order from them the service is great and I get the items in three days tops. I ordered these on a friday and they were at my door on tuesday with regular ground shipping. And they were coming from Michigan to NY. :D
