Have you guys had yours out in the snow at all? I took mine out in the snow and it did real well up until I high-centered it. Guess some paddles would help a ton.

I hear paddles don't clear out the snow well.

I don't have experience though because it never snows where I live to be a problem.

I was fine until we got a real wet and heavy snowfall, even though it wasn't deep enough to touch the bottom frame it would push up in front of the rear a-arms and stop me cold.

Check these out for the snow!

I've done about 1k in the snow so far and it's awesome. I put 23-7-10 Maxxis Razr's on the front and 24-9-11 Bearclaws on the back. Runs through it like a tank.

Hello first post or reply ever.Have put 23x7x10 razor2s front 24x9x11 mudlites rear. Even in -26 razors grab and steer on anything hard snow pack 10 to 14 inches no problem. Rears however in the cold are like rocks. Went down to 4 pounds much better stubble field 10 inches of snow 3rd gear lean way back, watch out for approaching fench lines. 2 foot drifts not so good . Weather in central Alberta has been in the high -teens and low to mid -20s been out most of Christmas break global warming my frozen ass.

Pics? Vids?

lol, that looks like front row parking at a bar, like motorcycles usually do it!

Wish i could ride my quad to the bar! haha

I like those tires! Seems the fronts might need to be a little bigger though?

Great pic`s. Thanks

Nice pics, I really like the Can-Am. That would be my next choice if I didn't get the XX

Hello ,

You can have ITP wheel in 10 inch for 700 XX after you put AMS Zipper tire it's the way for snow.

AMS Zipper is : http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/ProductImages/OG/0000_AMS_Zipper_Rear_Sand_Snow_Tire_--.jpg

Here in Quebec all sports ATV have this kind of tires , for the trail is the best !!

Excuse me for my english i'm not expert !

Looks like a decent sand tire also

Yes you can use them in the sand put it's not better then a sand paddle.

But in the snow the sand paddle are to agressive , with the Zipper you floating on the snow because the tread of tire are less agressive.

That's the better for the snow !

Actually it's not much different than stock tires. I have a buddy who has those tires on his z400 and he didn't do any better than when he had his stockers on.

Sweet. I could use some of those. Does either seem to get around better than the other?

I've been debating this setup with the 10's and Zippers. My son has the 4Snows and they're unreal in the powder. I've been waiting to see if anyone has any problems running the 10's. I run Quebec all the time.

They're both awesome machines. If I couldn't have both and had to choose, I'd take the Gade hands down.

I have heard that with Can-Ams you spend as much time fixing them as riding them. Is this the case? I'm sure not afraid of this with my Honda but Can-Am are sweet machines as long as they don't break down.

Those zippers look tempting. Are they a lot better than stocks on dirt?

I believe more people would use them if that were the case (that wasn't a smart-ass answer)

The "paddles" would wear quickly and you would soon have some slicks.

I have a 11k on my 08 and it hasn't been in the shop at all. I can't say the same for my 07 Honda Rincon I had or my Son's 07 300ex. I have about 6k on my XX now with no problems.

They work good but they're designed for snow. If you do a lot of hardtop they wear fast.

Sweet. I didn't mean to sound like I was bashing Can-Am at all. I think they are sweet machines and I was just going off of what I heard from others, so I wanted to know from someone who actually owns one.

No problem... It's just some people yap too much about other brands. One reason is price, sure they're a lot but the bike is the most fun out of all the 4x4's out there. In a flat out drag there isn't too much that will take it in 300ft. The handling on the X is surprising for a heavy pig. It don't have the push the XX has. For my type of riding the XX and the Gade are made for me. I do major miles on a machine and I need reliability and I've found it with Can Am and Honda. Plus the Can Am comes with a 3 year warranty if a problem arises. It doesn't matter too much anyways for me because of the mileage I do, I have no choice but to buy new bikes all the time. I'm on my 9th atv in two years with over 30k combined.

Dang, that sounds like fun. I wish I would get to ride that much. Ya, I'm not at all brand loyal, I was interested in Honda just because I've always heard about "Honda reliability". I actually always wanted a raptor and when I went in to purchase my new raptor I came home with the XX. I know with either quad I would have come home with a quality machine, but I couldn't be happier with my XX, but I'd never dis any other worthy quad. I may say what makes the XX better than another quad, but comparing any two quads there is almost always some feature that one quad has better than the other and vice versa.

its way better than my raptor and a dont have for snows on it

Hi all !!

I will try it in this week end and i will give comment after !!

mine does good in the snow until you get into the 6 foot drifts and sink all the way down and it takes you and 2 other guys 3 hours to get it out with one shovel...other then that its great! and it kicks butt on ice!

i just ran a 54mi xc race in a down pour all the way up to a blizzard and back down to rain it was intense. it handled fairly well in the snow and slush only MAJOR problem was my nerfs filled up with snow and froze so i couldnt get the shifter and rear break at times was not fun.lol and the last 10mi i ran with a flat right front and the xx just kept going:yay:

Hey Honda Man! Ca va! Regarde mes pneus avant! je viens de victoriaville en passant! Hey others this some kenda tire with all knobs grooves in the midle, also the zipper work with the paddle in reverse of sand tire it break better and it's easier to get the rear loose for nice 4 and 5 speed drift.file:///C:/Users/MILIE%7E1/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot.jpghttp://C:%5CUsers%5C%C3%83%C2%89milie%5CPictures%5CDany%2 0700xx

Holy crap man, these would rip through anything, not for 1000 clams though! I bet they wear out on pavement too!

Now check this out.

I had a pair of Zippers on my 200x and they worked really good. I also have a set of pro wedges on my 350x and I think for traction on a hard packed trail, the pro wedges hooked a little better. The zippers are a cheaper copy of the pro wedge but the zippers have a little bit harder rubber so they last longer. I don't know if the pro wedges come in a 10' wheel though. I'm sure a set of zippers would be great on the 700xx though.

ran some more feild trials and collected data of snow riding today.
heres what i found:
1. it was cold
2. maintain speed to stay on top of the snow be careful not to hit the rider in front of you
3. the 700 is good up to about 2 1/2 ft of snow
4. reverse sucks in the snow
5. i am getting much stronger lifting 505lbs out of the snow.
hope this helps:yay:

I wouldn't use paddles! Just get some tires with good bite. Mud tires would work better! I've tried paddles for snow in the past, it was terrible. The XX is awesome in the snow. My 400ex would drag the rear axle and it would take me for ever to get going. The ground clearence on the XX is perfect. Love this machine!!!!!

LOL at 5. I'm lucky I didn't blow my back out this summer picking the XX out of mud. I noticed I am getting stronger from it. haha

I was riding my 350x this last saturday on the ATV trails in Clark County. These are not groomed either but they were beat down pretty well. Anyway I was with a few 4x4's and with my pro-wedge tires on the back (similar to a zipper or 4-snow) I could always hook better than the 4x4's in acceleration. Even when I hit the powder on the side and would get pulled into the ditch I never got stuck. I can't wait to try a pair of zippers on the 700.

So can the 700xx keep up with renegade? I am debating on purchasing a 700xx but am worried about how good it will keep up in the deeper snow. My buddies have the 800 renegade and sportsman 500. I can get a 700xx out the door for $5000 right now, seems like too good of a deel to pass up but dont want to be left behind either.

A renegade will destroy the 700xx in the snow. Has hard enough time in the summer.

yup but i was going fast well 4th gear than i sank and it was a little rough to get going again.
