  That IS some serious stuff!   I've never seen a front tire quit like that, and the rear tire looks like one of the tires off a pro hill climb bike!
    I'm sure the other guys are gonna want to know who makes them both. 

 Very cool. :mrgreen:

        Pretty sick tire do you have an extended swingarm? that's a 12 paddle and I rode a k5 with a 10 paddle and it was a nightmare to drag race at the dunes so I went to an 8 paddle and whipped some arse just wondering what you are going to do with the bike.

I us to run that exact tire. (12 cup viper). Only ran it for one season.. Went to a 8 cup turbo paddle.. Never looked back..   The 8 cup handles better in the air.. And turning

But my buddy loves it to death... He runs it now..
Given, he stays on the ground more than I do.. and goes in more straight lines..

I can still eat him alive in a drag race though, as I can leave one gear higher than him, due to tire spin...

The straps on the front tires allow you to turn without it washing out while the ribs give it better steering and straightline than any other tire.

The rear... well, I'll just have to ride it first to chalk up as experience.

This bike will be for dune playing. Not much drag racing but I'll end up racing my buddies on their quads too I suppose. Bowls, carving, climbing, roosting my buds. LMAO

Stock swingarm. I love wheelies. Maybe a bit of jumping too. Nothing too retarded though.

Ill tell ya what... I never ran a better tire for "roosting my buds" than that tire you have right there!..

was also killer for climbing...    hit a SOFT razor back, and just rol it on... 100% hook up..    my current 8 cup, will spin... then hook... making it an interesting ride sometimes...

I'm from Canada and make a couple trips every year.

St. A's in Idaho is a regular and Oregon. This year we are going to Florence. My kids love that place and the beach to hold it wide open!

I've been to Dumont for a FSA race... but that's a long freakin haul for me.

Does your o-ring chain even come close to rubbing on the bog paddle rear tire? Thanks.

      Well you'll enjoy yourself and I would be interested in hearing how the front handles I'm always looking for an edge :) and the thing you will notice about the 12 is it's like riding on cement the front will come up like crazy on you but once you get used to that all will be good.

      I think you may end up looking into a 8 paddle at some point but if you are not much into drag racing I could be wrong and I heard someone mention the 8 paddle handles better in the air and that is true true true :)

      I would love to see some roost videos with that tire :) my whole crew has all gone off and become whipped by their wives nothing will ever be the same :( just having flashbacks of my buddy with his 10 paddle cr 500 that I whipped up and down the dunes lol he couldn't keep the front end down to race even starting in 3rd gear.
