THIS TIRE TEST IS GOING TO BLOW YOUR MIND! Stock Maxxis VS Aggressive GBC XC Masters! 0 - 300 Ft.

Stock tires are often frowned upon by many! Are they really that bad? I've always been that oddball that felt stock tires pulled harder based on the pressure I felt on the bars and the extra grunt of the engine.
So many are quick to bash stock tires and assume that buying the aggressive looking after-market tires are the answer to better acceleration and speed. We shall see.... Let's get to Ripp'n!!!
Megatron is now a 734 Big Bore (ATHENA) w/ 12.5:1 piston on 93 octane! Also, sporting a PC5, Monster Full System Exhaust, and FCI intake!
The quad has factory gearing with the exception of the smaller 19 inch tires.

I love my XC Masters but this is an awesome comparison. Honestly didn't expect that result but it makes sense. Great video!

Oh boy, oh boy, that thing pulls like craaaaazyyyyyy. I'm sitting behind the screen and I'm feeling it in my stomach😂

[@LSDdreams808]

i just got my yamaha raptor 700 watching your videos helped my decision..this is my first manual 4wheel i ever driven an nailed it . starting off from a stop was my hardest to get down

[@RobsatvsandRec]

I run these tires on my outlaw irs. Also replaced the maxxis that was on there and it was the best performance upgrade I ever made.

[@chriscallas9483]

That was interesting,. Your a very fast and consistent shifter I think that helped the test and so the times u got were consistent and more reliable.Unsprung weight like that makes the most difference too. I have x-c .masters and they do tend to roll over top of dirt rather than scooping it up. Nice vid bro.

[@raptordan6851]

Great video brother ! Stockers are faster no doubt. The ideology of the manufacturers weather it be automotive or off-road is to keep weight down. Automotive wise you can get another mile or two per gallon on a lighter less aggressive tread and on atvs it’s the or used to be when Yamaha had competition was the wet weight of the machine, that was the deciding factor. That being said I sacrifice acceleration and top end to ride worry ish free over logs, stumps and sharp rocks.

[@MichiganQuadTrailsTales]

Who You Kidding! Every Video is Awesome! Weight is bad Enough, but Rotating Mass is Even Worse. Them Stock Tires Look Great, I looked at the Yamaha Raptors at the Dealership, and I think I'm going to put them on one of are Honda 400's when we need new tires.

[@chrisg3560]

Thanks so much for the video! Put money down on a new raptor and wanting to do upgrades to suspension like you did. Was curious about those tires because I thought the stock wasn’t good but you showed me the light 🤩 I’ll have to go back to the video where you put the new Alba a arms but did you go with the standard travel or long travel?

[@everythingloud4068]

These are awesome tires I just bought another pair for the 450

[@ShadSRT]

Do a top speed video with the 15 tooth sprocket & xc masters on. It should run 88-89

[@off-roadprojectsandfun6868]

I think that the XC tires have better grip but weigh more is the issue, with speed. Although the better ply rating for toughness is there for durability, they do weight more and slow the ATV down, if you were to get the XC Master grip onto a lighter tire, I think that will be quite awesome, if you can hear in the videos, the stock tires launch at a higher rpm than the XC Masters, indicating that the XCs grip better or are just heavier, or a mixture of both.

[@Yan7001978]

Weight is not your friend especially in the tire department! Tks for that video!👍

Love the videos keep them coming. When the next time you going for a rip i will come to you bro.

Cool I did not expect that at all lol

I always suspected this outcome but it is crazy to actually see it pan out.

[@SpookyMontero]

Nice I think I’m going to choose the Maxxis Razr plus over the Maxxis Razr 2

[@pxte.7007]

I have the same maxxis tires they look aggressive but there very heavy and don’t grip on the dirt at all there more for looks I’d say

[@rmx01indiana]

Couldn't see the stock tires withstanding GNCC conditions though. The Maxxis Razr's will

[@DUNEATV]

I’ve been saying this for years! The heavy/stronger tires will slow you down!

My brother!!! 🦾🦾🦾

You should do this same comparison but with stock tires and paddle tires... I'll promote your video on my channel! 🤘😎

@@FREEDOMSYNDICATEOFFICIAL OMG, I would love that! Thx bro!

[@cme3574]

The only thing is the stockers get rounded off pretty quick and the xc's shouldn't. Great vid keep it up!

[@Timothy0430]

We have a Sherlock Holmes in the house!! It ALL depends on ur needs. For tires!!

[@68-72mmALKYstyle]

Pretty good vid bro but 90% of people run paddles in the dunes so maybe do a molded “V” paddle VS straight and stag “extreme” paddle. Maybe the shorter “hauler” paddle tire too. Just to compare really molded “V” paddle VS a buffed “straight” paddle. Just maybe choose the two tires with the same roll-out. So measure clear around them on both sets to keep everything even as much as possible. To add, that raptor needs a extra tooth on the front because u probably can’t put on a smaller rear. Regardless that thing has a lot more potential and when I bought my 700 raptors I immediately threw 1 tooth bigger on the front and it made it a lot more fun cuz they are torque monsters to begin with. 💪💪 I’m sur yours isn’t all stock so it will b even that much better. Mine were stock since I bought them new when I put the bigger one. If u think the 15 tooth is crappy out of the hole then u can throw a biggger sprocket ⚙️ on the rear. 1 in front is almost equal to losing 3 in the rear. Regardless it will make it more of a handful than what u got now! Just a lil comment love brotha’

[@FREEDOMSYNDICATEOFFICIAL]

I really appreciate your post! Testing paddle tires is a great idea! I'll start pricing some now and hopefully in a few weeks I'll have the funds to purchase them! I've played around with the sprockets and I have to say the 15 tooth on the front is probably my favorite. I have gone to a 36 in the rear but it just gears it too high at that point in combination with the 15t.

[@Nitro91]

When the lugs are apart there is space between lugs that are just spinning and not grabbing anything

[@FREEDOMSYNDICATEOFFICIAL]

But on the contrary, it does allow a bigger scoop of dirt when they are further apart, which is why I think the stock tires did better

[@GCrrc2]

Great Content, where did you get the pro taper bars with the all black logo?

[@FREEDOMSYNDICATEOFFICIAL]

My local dealership but I'm pretty sure if you show a picture of this bar to one of your local dealerships you'll be able to get it.

[@kingGfour]

Need to try obor tires

[@j.need4qlife483]

Not sure if comparing the raw physics is a fair comparison when comparing these tires for different design purposes. The GBC tires are heavier as the are design for the purpose of XC racing where tire failure is common and conditions are changing lap after lap. When ever I use stock 2 or 4 ply tires, I get flats all the time from riding hard. They are just not worth the cost and effort to gain a fraction of time quicker.

[@FREEDOMSYNDICATEOFFICIAL]

I see your point of view. I guess what I was getting at is people always associate these tires with better performance in the sense that they'll be going faster. That's just not the case.

[@hoffmiermp]

Always been a fan of the GNCC ITP holeshots on my raptor.

[@ttg.jashunjashun4225]

where can i get the 4 sets of stock raptor tires?

[@jaredbarraza6027]

Just curious does the raptor 700 deal with the running lean from factory like the yfz450? Like do u have to buy a vortex and stuff? I have a power commander 5 but people say vortex is better so I’m just wondering if the raptor has same problem lol

[@FREEDOMSYNDICATEOFFICIAL]

According to my tuner at the dyno, mine was running a little bit on the richer side from factory. But each machine is different because I believe my buddy who bought the same quad the same year was running a little bit leaner because his was always a little bit faster than mine and that was with him weighing a little bit more. I believe he was running a little bit leaner because leaner conditions although are unsafe will make you a little bit more powerful.

[@FREEDOMSYNDICATEOFFICIAL]

I love the PC5 because of the unlimited power applications you can add while maintaining that one fuel controller. Whereas with other fuel controllers you are limited with the mods.

[@floridatrailrider305]

WOT!

[@ericriley922]

I had to get the gbc I just bought a new raptor and blew my tires riding on train tracks so I needed to get a stronger tire

[@3deetoys234]

Stock tire are faster cause they are lighter. How about you do the same thing in mud see who has better grip.

I had 15 lb in each tire. I like to run about 10 lb each but I had to run 15 because that was the lowest number that my tire meter would read and I wanted it equal for all tires.

[@Timothy0430]

If you ride rocky terrain you need 6ply tires for sure, it ur racing on a track 4ply is ur best bet. Yes heavier tires will take some power away, but I’d rather have thicker tires and less power for the places I ride.. also maxxis aren’t stock tires bro!!

You clearly never drove a raptor before and if you did you don't know how to drive

[@RNJuiceable]

most users have never met the engineers that design and build these machines. Once you meet one of them, *any* of them, things like this start to make sense. Take the most anal-retentive, OCD, detail-oriented person you know that keeps meticulous schedules and forgets nothing. Imagine that person, multiply those abilities by 10, and make them Japanese. They not only think of everything, they imagine their products being used by ADHD 15 year olds with endless supplies of money, resources, and zero law...
