paddles

Do you recomend 22" or 20" paddles for a stock 400EX?

20" 8 paddle haulers. they are great. I run them on my 472, but I think im going to a 8 paddle taller hauler..or a 10 paddle regular hauler..

so far I'm the only one who voted for 22". I see them a lot on 400ex's so that's kinda strange I thought.
I think 22" float better. 20's seem to dig.
2 friends of mine bought raptors together (I know they're raptors, but hear me out). one bought 20" and one 22's. the guy with the 20's consistantly got better hole shots but got passed as they rode. the guy with 20's also had a hard time starting from a stand still with out digging himself a hole (could be rider error). the guy with the 22's had more fun floating around and handling the sand a lot easier and having a far better time riding. after the 2 switched bikes a few times to see the difference, the guy with the 20's ended up selling them and getting 22's.
I myself have also rode with both (on my 300ex). and I prefer 22's anyday.

Hey HOTT440EX - if you have a chance to run the taller haulers, do it! A buddy had a set and they were SWWWWWWWEET!


Out of all the guys I ride with (roughly 25) all but one run 20"ers. The one dude that runs the 22's has a Raptor and has changed both the front and rear sprocket to compensate for the larger rear tires.
