GBC XC Master Sport ATV Tire Test

- čas přidán 22. 03. 2016
- Formerly known as the X-Rex, GBC' XC Master Tires offer excellent traction in nearly all conditions. They're long lasting, tough, and backed with GBC's extensive contingency program. Riders of smaller displacement sport ATVs might want to look AT GBC's slightly lighter and easier to break loose XC Racer tires. If you ride a pumped up 400cc machine or larger and are looking for a high-traction, highly durable tire for cross country racing or trail riding, GBC's XC Master tires should serve your needs quite well.

i love u guys reviews!!!!
Just got a new set of rears ordered up!
Have these on my 2005 yfz 450 and they are awesome they hook good no issues in mud or any dirt for that matter. always will buy them they have me hooked
Great feedback. Thanks for sharing!
I have an 06 yfz 450. Thinking about picking this us or some itp holeshots gncc. Are they heavy?
@@chrisginoc I'm running itp holeshots on my 250 and they are decent on hard compact dirt but do struggle a little bit in lose slippery stuff. In terms of weight I don't notice much of a difference from the maxxis tires I had before.
I have these tires on all 4 corners of my Predator and I love them! Cant beat the price and traction, I hook everywhere.
Just ordered them for my predator
@@TheCrazyR1 sunf has the exact same tires for $200 6 ply
I've been running the same set for years, the side walls have some decent cuts and I have yet to get a flat tire. I'll definitely buy another set.
Thank you very much for sharing your experience with these tires.
Just picked up a set of fronts from Walmart for $35 a piece! Had to order online and picked up 6 days later.
link?
i have a modded 300ex with maxxis razors rn and they wore out and was looking at these does my 300ex with a high comp piston have enough power to turn these tires reasonably
nice video... just ordered some xc masters for my honda 450
+Seth Blake Congrats. Make sure to give us your review after you try them.
ATVonDemand would they also work for a 250 ex ?? I’m looking for new tires
How would these look and do on a old 1999 scrambler 400 4x4 2 stroke?? I’m a old sport quad rider and never had a 4wd before. But I plan on riding it like a sport...I mean it is a 2 stroke 😎. The 4wd is just a bonus for technical trail riding. Right now it just has to much grab...I can’t slide very good or light the tires up on demand.
Just ordered these for my Raptor 700R. Can't wait to try them
Green Hornet I just ordered some today, please tell me I didn’t make a mistake. How have they held up on your rappy
Well I can tell you I am very happy with mine. Awesome traction, great price . Can't beat them ! I'm sure you will love them too. Not enough miles on them yet to say how durable they are but so far they are awesome.
@@SigCross Update on the tires dude?
I sold the Raptor but when I had it the tires were awesome, great traction and hook up. Highly recommend these tires
Me to
Ugh I'm going riding in a week and have drag slicks on the rear😭I need new tires but 8$ doesn't cut it😂.
john chesser I feel you bro
We have all been there!!!
I have a 130 h.p. 4 cylinder streetbike powered woods/trail Banshee. with +2" a arm & axles. I Ride logging roads, mud, and sand. I currently have been running maxxis razr 2 6 ply on beadlocks for good reason. would these gbc hold up and provide good linear traction and handle well at high speeds on my application?
I am looking for a tire that has alot of forward traction but not a lot of traction in turns. My Quad is very topheavy so i want to be able to get it sideways rather Than tipping. Is there a rear tire that you would recommend?
awesome video!
+JellyForSale Thanks!
What's up?! :D
Just bought these
do these tires for a Yamaha 350 warrior and we're can I get the tires?
I love these on my built warrior!
+Goody's Atv thats what im putting on mine
It fits with the stock rims
Ik ur comment is 7 years old lol, but what mods do u have done to ur warrior
@@yeetygonzalez5843 long travel suspension, ported head, web cam, 39mm fcr, 11:1 wiseco
Have these tires on my Banshee. Love em.
Hey brother. Its Chris, from your other video comments. I'm looking for new tires on my yfz 450. The ones I got on this used quad are bald. I keep hearing about these GBC xc versus the itp holeshot gncc. Any thoughts? Im looking for some all around trail tires.
Expensive ?
@@moto_tech_braap_itout9852 Also heavier than others. Look them up.
@@chrisginoc I'll most likely go with maxxis brand or razer
What is the thing on the left side under the fender
I ride dirt and sand I have a yfz450 what you recommend
Have these on my 2005 YFZ 450 🤘
How do you like them?
Are these better or equivalent to the razors or GNCC itps because I want a cheaper alternative for my off-road riding and racing
Our test rider races GNCC and really likes them having used Maxxis in the past. They are also a long lasting tire. Opinions may vary. Thanks for watching.
I have a stock 400ex and am looking for new tires. I ride mostly trails, fields, mud, and gravel roads. What is a good 6 ply tire that will hold up well?
Parker Baugh hey come check out my channel for great riding videos!
I want to put these on my yfz450r idk if this is a good fit I ride trails that are sandy and have some mud not much at all and also some rocks basically just any ordinary trails.are these a good fit?
My buddy went thru the tire testing gambit for the last 3yrs. These are the best tires we have found hands down. All around great trail or track tires.
Just ordered them for my 2007 Honda trx250ex
Good stuff. We are doing a little project on one of those in the coming weeks. Please subscribe if interested.
Just got these for my new raptor really hope they are as strong as they say
Wouldn't mislead you. Glad to hear you like the tires.
I got them I don't know if I'll ever run another tire they are a whole other world the way they guide you threw turns the way they grip but still let you control slide their amazing I can't see holeshots being any better
Looking for the hardest compound tire I can put on my Raptor. I've been told this is a good place to start. I previously Had Razr2's which is supposed to be equal or better than xc masters. But the price wasn't worth it They wore pretty fast.
The racers we've talked to about the XC Masters boast about how long they last. The Masters have a pretty hard rubber compound but if your doing any real amount of road riding any knobby will wear quickly.
hey man ive been thinking about getting the razr2 for my trx250r . because of the deep tread lugs since im only 145ibs and short . how were they on traction on trails ?
@@867diesel you should sell me your R instead of buying tires for it!!! I haven’t been on a R for years. Oh how I miss those 250R’s. What year is yours?
I just ordered a set for my ‘20 Raptor 700r SE today. I don’t really like the ones that originally came on the quad.
The stock tires are designed to be light and give a somewhat cushy ride. You're in for a good upgrade in handling and traction.
Hey will a blaster 200 or banshee 350 even a Arctic cat 250 dvx fit on the sports quad good for trails.
Nigel Plantin the banshee or blaster will be good
que dedida es ?
how do these compare to the ground buster 3?
Steven Hinckle we have a long overdue review coming up on the ground Buster 3 tires. AR test rider Jim Nemacheck used the ground Buster three tires throughout the 2017 cross country season. Jimmy tells us that he prefers the ground Buster threes for dry Rocky and hard pack to intermediate conditions. The 6 ply versions are good for Trail Riders and those who aren't using a run-flat system like tire blocks or Tire balls. Jim uses Tire balls so he runs the lighter weight 2 ply versions. If you have a smaller displacement machine you may prefer the lighter weight of the ground Buster's. As soon as things dry up a bit here we will be filming a set and getting a test out to you. For now, I hope this helps. Hit us back with any more questions you may have.
Which direction should the front tires be mounted??? V up or down? many shows V down in pictures but this video shows front tire with the V up..... super confusing... wouldnt it be easier to throw an arrow on the tire. LOL.
This is a great question! Thanks for asking. We asked GBC on on your behalf and they tell us that, "There is really no wrong direction although there is a direction marking on the tires." Running them V down provides more bite in corners. They tell us that around 10% of racers run them in the opposite direction as it provides a little more hook-up under braking. If you have any further questions please hit us back. 🙂
So this is good just for the weekend riding on soft or hard dirt
They are good for racing or just weekend trail riding. They perform well in soft or hard terrain and are a longer lasting tire than some.
@@ATVonDemand I have a question ?
Are theses okay in sand I go to the dunes once a year
You need paddles
are these good for wheelies on the road ?
Most likely
Looking for a tire that handles on roads and on trails
Man, this would make for an interesting tire comparison. Duel sport tires on sport ATVs. We hear that sport ATVs are street legal in some European countries. This might be a worth while video in the future.
have you got anny tips for that type of tire yet? greetings
They look like ITP Holeshot HD's
If they do good at haspin I’m sold lol that place sucks in mud if you don’t have good tires.
True that!
How do they wear on roads
I think Very well, on meadle speed
What’s the difference between these and sunf?
Can't say for sure. We haven't tried those.
I got these but mine are headshot brand
Do they work on a honda 250 ex
Greetings, We think GBC's XC Racer tires might be a better option for the 250EX. They are a bit lighter and easier to break loose than the XC Racers. Is we add tires to our TRX250X/EX project we would be adding XC Racers. With any 20" tire you will a little top speed compared to the stock 22" tires, although handling will be improved.
Price ?
I need an opinion. I have a completely stock 400ex. What would be the best tire to run on the trails? Trails in west virgina Hatfield mccoy area.
+Chris Crowder We love those trails! We've been there a couple of times with Kawasaki. These tires are a good fit if you like riding hooked up out of turns. If you want a tire that slides a bit easier and feels lighter, you might want to go with the GBC XC Racer tires. We have tried them on a project Z400 we need to republish, but liked their predictable sliding manners. You can find both of these tires very reasonably priced if you browse on google.
Outside of GBC there are a ton of cross country tires out there. For long rides in the rocks of West Virginia we'd make sure to stick with a six-ply, general purpose cross-country tire, and keep the pressure up a bit to help prevent cuts, punctures, and pinch flats from rocks.
Hope this helps.
+ATVonDemand i gut a gncc built warrior 350 bore to a 446 would this be a good gncc tire
+pit Riders Prior to working in the ATV industry I owned a Warrior bored and stroked to 430cc by Powroll. If your motor has pumped up compression and the other common mods needed to make a race motor, these tires should work well for you.
Joe
+ATVonDemand u should make a build vid
pit Riders On what machine?
What wheels are those?
I'm pretty sure they were Hiper.
Maxxis or these for regular trail riding 🤔
These would be great for typical trail riding. They provide very good traction nearly everywhere. plus, they last a good long time. We think that is especially important for trail riders.
@@ATVonDemand Definitely 👍 tha ks for the info
What psi should I put on those tires
We'd start out with 6 lb front end 7 lb of rear end test from there.
Are these good street tires ?
@@fuzzyt1990 yes
Were those 20s or 22s?
20s
They said those were 21’s
Can we say something about this brand copying Razr 2's???
I'm one hundred percent sure sunf tires were here before razor so maybe razor copied them? Because they have the exact same Tire as well
Sorry I need this tire how can I buy pls
chapmoto.com and motosport.com both sell them.
+ATVonDemand Perfect timing! I'm about to order a set of tire for my Raptor 700. I really don't know which one are better for me. The Kenda Klaw XC 4 PLY (I have only 4 PLY in my country) or the GBC XC master 6 PLY?
I ride most of time gravel, trails and sometimes dunes. Also I do want to perform long slides...can I do it with those? :)
+Nir Hason If we wanted a long lasting tire that would work well on many different conditions we wouldn't hesitate to run these on a Raptor 700. Go for it, You won't be disappointed.
ATVonDemand tnx! Just bought them.
20X11-9 and 22X7-10 (:
+Nir Hason Enjoy! Let us know how you like them.
+ATVonDemand An update:
I just mounted the new tires and they grip really really good! the thread is still looks new after hours of riding with them. You can slide with those and still be in control of your quad's tail, which is great. The acceleration 0-60 is improved now because of the good traction those tires gives you. they also gives your quad a beast look which is a nice bonus (:
warning for riders that will be behind you, the crazy grip makes them throwing some rock haha.
Love those tires! and of course they are 6 PLY so very hard to puncher those!(:
Sorry we didn't get back sooner. Congrats on the new tires and thank you very much for sharing your experience using them. Enjoy!
Do any of you guys out there run raptor700 or Honda 700? What tire would be best and last the longest and preform decently on Wisconsin sand/ weak mud and pavement riding ?
+corvettecraver We have tested the Raptor 700R extensively and own one as a personal machine. These would be a great tire choice for your use. Our test rider Jim races with these tires regularly and raves about their hook up and super long lasting tread. He is not sponsored by GBC by the way, he has to buy his tires at whatever price he can find.
+ATVonDemand k thanks a lot. Keep up the great reviews in the channel!
I just ordered these for me 700
Should I get them for my raptor 700r 2019? Any recommendations?
NO
they are a little heavy but great tires... but wear out quick on pavement
Um, these tires weren't designed for pavement.
Do they still make these?
Yes they do.
@@ATVonDemand Found them. $189 for four. I don't see a better bang for the buck tire out there.... Thanks Again.
So do you consider them "all terrain" mud, sand,dirt ,rock
Gokarts, Minibikes, and more! Yes. Is all terrain good as they are a good Tire. The knobs are tall and wide enough to dig in the mud but the tread blocks are large enough that they put enough rubber on the ground and the compound is hard enough that they don't wear quickly.
How much for a full set roughly
Gokarts, Minibikes, and more! We don't sell them. Check out Google. They're pretty competitively-priced.
Great trail tire, not so much for drag racing tho
How come they aren't good for drag racing?
Chris Dean I wish I could remember why , but they are a great trail tire . Ohustu 501 are a really good dirt drag tire. I have both for my 450er and my 400ex. DWT tires hook well too
Rear are 20x11-9 not 21x11-9
WOW can't believe it took this long for someone to find that. I didn't believe you until I watched it for myself. You know, when you record a sentence four or five times you're likely to trip over your words at some point. We are aware that it was a 20" rear tire. I don't think I've seen a 21" rear sport tire. You got us. Thanks for watching and for paying so much attention.
I bet they are expensive
We typically don't list prices for tires because a lot of Manufacturers don't provide them and they vary so much at the retail level. Google around and you can probably find a decent deal on them. Thanks for your comments.
I got a raptor 700 with a r1 motor on it
That's Beast!
ATVonDemand yep fast ass shit top speed 183
THESE TIRES ARE GARBAGE!!!!
razr 2 is the best way to go!!!!!
Tell that to Walker Fowler.
@@ATVonDemand tell him I said it
@@ATVonDemand Well, He doesn't climb what I do so he wouldn't know.
@@jordanstanga1371 well what do you climb?
@@thethiefonthecross9092 everything, except sand because I live in tennessee
How would these do in the snow?
Not as good as a pure snow tire in the deep stuff. But the knobs are pretty tall, so they should be pretty good.
@@ATVonDemand ok cool, appreciate the response. Thanks.
