This bike looks so friekin fun to ride. Guy that makes them sent vid asking opinion on the front straps. I cant really tell if theyre helping or not. But the kid riding sure seems to be having fun!! Aint all about finding big jumps...carving this thing has got to be a blast.

Think im actually gonna be in Oregon soon. Dang i should bring my bike up and try out those strap dealios. Gonna have to ride with them before becoming a believer. Whats up can i test ride a fat tire CR500....?

That's bykas stuff here on the board. I gotta say I don't see the need for a fat tire conversion except as a conversation piece/coolness factor. My old 500 and current YZ450F will carve just as tight as that then loose the back tire in a washout, just like the fat tire conversion does. Definitely looks cool though.

What's the deal on the front tire straps? I am trying to figure out how they help in the sand.

be carefull up there in the dunes somekinda of health warning up there

That thing looks like fun. The fat tire is awesome for some good floatation. I don't get the straps though? Those Oregan dunes are pretty nice with all the tight transitions.

doesnt look like that bike is doing anything a bike with a stock tire cant do (except change quicky to a dirt tire when I get back home!)
