tvscum 43 Posted February 21, 2021 I met up with some new friends, not members here, but they took me on a Kelly Ride in Ocotillo. Has anybody heard of this route? Supposedly named after a deceased desert racer? Lots of sand through a long wash and then back to the highway along a power line road. Man, I missed my old GoldenTyre fatty front tire in all that sand. I currently am running a Motoz Tractionator RallZ on the front and it sucks for sand. Ran 12 lbs air up front. Anyway, it was fairly fun ride of you like sand. I needed the practice. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zubb 1154 Posted February 21, 2021 I actually love the RallZ front in sand and deep sand. But I’m on a 1200. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How were the trails compared to Plaster City / North of the 8? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Karoo 3’s come to mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
