I have had them for 2 years, they are a well constructed bighorn copy. They perform exactly as stated. Don't expect much from them in the winter, they are definitely best on trail type conditions, not in deep snow. They are okay on ice and groomed trails.

[@gunxperp]

Have a set on my buggy. Works great in everything but snow and sand, as they dig in to much and just bury them self. But it's a great all around tire and the best part is it's a Canadian company. I'll definitely be staying with traxion for tires from now on out.

[@WBOS72]

I have an original set of Traxion Grippers - I absolutely love them. Was not interested in overpaying for big horns.

[@scottfurlong5475]

When I need ATV tires, I get whatever my dealer has in stock. My dealer brings in tractor trailer loads of one type and brand of tire and you get a great deal. Less than $400 tax in for 26 in tires for my grizzly. One season it was AMS slingshots, another season it was ITP Mud Lite and this season it was Zillas.

[@jasonmiller9495]

How did you like the slingshots

[@TheMaverick613]

You kept your word.... I take credit for this one... Support Canadian companies

[@recreatik]

Hell yeah! That's my tire! I actually designed it.

[@TheMaverick613]

@@recreatik it is mon ami, I bugged them half a dozen times to showcase your tires, I bought Grippers for my Wildcat, and we've exchanged a few emails about them.... This should help boost sales

[@stevemic]

@@recreatik they are bighorn copies

[@ATVGUYS]

@@stevemic If you look closely they look like bighorns but underneath is where it's happening, dont judge a book by it's cover my friend. very different compares to a bighorn in handling, overall resistance and compound

[@TheMaverick613]

@@stevemic how many possible thread designs can be used before they start looking like other tires? The difference is, Bighorns puncture way too easy, I have Grippers (non radial), they're solid fkn tires

[@Lucas_Rebuilds]

Well, people already said it. Looking like another set of bighorn copies. Would love to make my own opinion on them, but shipping to Germany most certainly is a problem I guess?

[@PowerSportsQuebec]

You wont like the shipping cost..

[@silverback7659]

Just purchased some Traxion x-6 wheels in 14" and wanting to run a square 26x9 setup. Do you think combo will allow enough wheel protection?

[@nortonashburn6119]

U guys should do a review on the ams m1 evil.

[@bcnu2132]

Ordering a set of these tires for my Grizzly, I like that Traxion is a Canadian company, but curious where the actual tires are made, not a deal breaker, just curious

[@firemanjon]

How close are these in quality and handling to the kimpex trail trooper radial?

[@njm1251]

How do u think a 9 inch wide 9n the rear and front would work?

[@PASEOPOWER]

Are they quiet on pavement? As i do alot of pavement around my area

[@blakemullaley5820]

Love your videos

[@daiglejason]

Do they run small or true to size? Looking for something that fits a Honda pioneer 1000-5, stock everything.

[@machinehead6892]

I just bought the Traxion Nitro tires at 27X9X12 and they are actually only 25" tall I'm pissed off. They are for my Pioneer 500.

[@Knarf14]

Are these made anymore ?

[@902crew]

What’s the name of the rim?

[@bryanwilson6020]

Looks like my k9 delrios i bought for half the price of big horns

[@Oatmeal2six]

Canadian bighorns eh

[@recreatik]

Well, that's one way of lookin' at it I guess. But it's not a bighorn mold...

[@kylegohawks8604]

Obviously itp is not their sponsor anymore

[@recreatik]

lol

[@rpittman4778]

Are these Traxion X3 wheels a 5+2 offset or a 4+3? Thanks

[@PowerSportsQuebec]

Depends on the bolt patterns but most are 5+2

[@kractass]

I just put these on my quad. Used them for one pretty smooth trail ride so far. What pressure do you have them at for trail and for rock?

[@recreatik]

Depends on your ride atv or utv?

[@juliandig4323]

@@recreatik you guys never answer emails I left tons. And no phone number to call ?????

[@Packinheat1175]

What about snow? You know, the thing that is on the ground from October-April in your own country.

[@recreatik]

High performance semi hard compound the Gripper Max is not optimal for winter use. Bewtter choose a maxxis bighorn 2.0 or the CST Stag with soft compound, those are great in the winter.

[@Packinheat1175]

M-A Quessy yup that makes sense. The lugs have to be studdable thow. Even in the summer it makes a huge difference on wet logs and slippery river rocks.

[@stephenrickettsNL]

What were the tire sizes in the video on that Outlander? I see they were 27's, what were the other dimensions? 11 inch width all 4?? Thanks. Would love a set on my 850 Outlander Max XT-P

[@recreatik]

27-9r14

That’s a big horn

[@recreatik]

Nope it ain't, trust me on this.

[@PowerSportsQuebec]

@BriceGarrett86 It's a little more technical as the radial carcass is automotive derived and 2 plies overlap on 1/3 of the sidewall on an automotive semi-hard compound. I desinged it so it would not destroy itself on large displacement machine like the hot rodded X3 I used to own. My oem BH 2.0 rears we're toast after 300km of riding the X3 like I stole it. The molds look like a BH original but it ain't (copyright you know) like at both closely you'll see. The Gripper Max's only low point is ice. the compound get too hard (not bad as some other brands using this same mold) and quickly loses traction. in deep packed stuff though it rips. It's my first ground up desing and after three years of steadily increasing sales i'm happy with them and the very low failures (and warranty claims) speaks volumes. For the asking retail price I still get a smile on my face riding them hard. I sponsor two racers, one on a Can-Am Renegade 800 that has not had a tire failure in three years (every two races with his previous tires) won two championships.The other on a Yamaha YXZ 1000R that races either my Alpha or the Gripper max and had only two failures in about 90 races. Runner up two years straight and last season was crowned champion in UTV N/A category. Proof is there, they work and for the asking price the Gripper maxs are a great value in my opinion. I wish I could really build the tire I want but nobody would buy a 300$ 30 inch tire. I woud'nt so why sould I try and sell some to you guys? Just wait and see what i'm working on next! I hope you like them.
