Welcome to the site!
Yeah the XMR has heavier components that are made to take a beating. The X XC is a good machine too. There are many kinds of tires for mud and some are better than others. many people will tell you that the tires they are using are awesome but may have never tried a different tire. The OEM Cryptids that come on the XMR are really good for mud and do well on other terrain. That is why they come on the XMR. For me they are fine. Depending on your taste there is much you can do. Go as far as Portals and 42 inch mega mayhem tires with 4 inch deep paddles if that suits you. I suggest watching YouTube videos as many riders experience a wide variety of setups and will talk about the benefits and drawbacks. My suggestion is don't be in a hurry to do upgrades and get used to your machine like it is. After getting stuck a few times then try a more aggressive tire.

Thanks man, yea you're right, I'm gonna wait and see what it can do on the land.

 

Depends on what you mean for mud, do you want a skeg machine that is going to have tires suited for mud that aren’t going to do well on trails, or do you want to go puddle blasting and trail riding?

 

I just bought the property and intend on making some trails on it, it's pretty sloppy and hilly, and a good amount of snow in the winter.. so probably just trails and some small amount of mud

 

I am thinking about getting some of these tires when my stock ones wear down. PIT BULL - ROCKER UBER XOR ATV/UTV RADIALS - Pit Bull Tires

 

Awesome, what size ? And how do you like the stock tire

 

Welcome to the site. Congrats on the new ride.

 

The ATR is the best sport quad tire I’ve ever used. Super strong, takes big beatings and run 6psi. I run dirt, hard pack, some mud, rock and the tires are so freeking stable and predictable. Good traction across a variety of terrain. One rider told me they are not good in snow but since I don’t ride snow I have no idea. The XXC is the best handling ATV I’ve ever owned, incredibly nimble, fast, comfortable and if your an aggressive rider you can really appreciate the total package. Only ridden with an XMR 1000 once and it fell to the back of the pack on twisty and rocky terrain where I didn’t see it do well, in the mud it was king for sure. I would agree that you try as is first then see how it goes, I can’t see anyone being disappointed with a XXC 1000.

Make sure to grease the chassis often including the driveshaft. Amsoil Severe Gear quiets down the front and rear differentials when your ready for a lube change something to consider.

 

Awesome! I'll check them out, do you use 25" tires?

 

Check out Kenda Bearclaw HTRs, they do amazing in the snow, and are better than stock in the mud. When I replace my stock tires on my renegade I am going to use them. I’m going to go with a 26x9-12 front tire, and a 26x11-12 rear tire.

 

Kenda BearClaws HTR
Tried & True
Ran them on all 4 of my XXC’ Gade’s
(08’, 12,14,20)

Wear like iron, great tread design for all types of terrain, 8 ply.

I am going to get some for my renegade, would you go with the 26in? I was going to do the 26x9-12
In the front and 26x11-12 in the rear.

 

I went up a size. This is exactly what I ran


Kenda Bear Claw HTR

26x11R12 (rear)$138 ea
26x9R12 (front) - $125 ea

I have fender extenders & had to shave a little of of the outer skirt so they didn’t rub when I compressed the rear over jumps.

they do not hit any stock plastics

Okay. Thanks! I just want a aggressive looking tire that fills the wheel wells out a little better.

 

 

I wish I could get some beadlocks, I really like the look of the stock beadlocks and bullite beadlocks.

 

Trying to find a good side view

 

 

 

 

This is my spare set

 

 

Going to Shifter Knob and Gas Cap next. Also really thinking about Elka Stage 3 shocks all the way around!

 

Beadlocks are a must where I ride. The Elka shock is top notch(pricey too)

 

I have a Renegade buddy that just bought some Elka Stage 3's. He has the same color and 1000R as me. Told him to send me pictures when he gets them installed. If and when I do this I was thinking of selling my stocks for $100.00 a piece. Or selling them on FB Marketplace. These stock ones I have kind of suck...

 

New here and new sorta new to quads. I’m a vet NETRA racer, so I do understand properly setting up a machine. I’m currently setting up my new ‘22 xxc1000r with some stuff from Cecco, HMF, RVS, etc… my question is… is anyone using a thick walled aluminum stock for the through frame reinforcement on these machines or is steel the way to go? Thanks for any advice! BTW, I’m in central CT and looking to get out and ride! All my buddies are dirt bike guys, so I need to find some more riding buddies. Have “some” trails around here, but have trailer and will travel! Might even give a XC race a try this summer.

I’m in CT also.
Haven’t heard of frame problems on the G2 chassis. Reinforcements never hurt, but none of us have done it because we’ve been ok.
We are aggressive riders but don’t air it out jumping. I save that stuff for the Banshee lol

 

Re-sell it shortly after purchasing, i.e.

Flip it

Not hip to the lingo?

 

You can’t flip an 850 or a 570 and get a 1000 xxc without spending a bunch of extra money. Unless you get a piece of crap old xxc.
