    Sorry I thought the OP was talking about riding in heavy sandy areas. I am talking about deep sand. Not "sandy" trails.

    My TXC is awesome in sandy, loamy trails. Whoops are no issue and as another poster mentioned clutch managment can allow you to overcome any bottom end weakness. But I found that as soon as I hit an area with deep sand the motor just did not have the grunt to pull hard. I rode the same sections on a 450EXC and it just destroyed the sand. No issues.

    Well then, you just have the wrong kind of "stroke" 250. Get a two stroke 250 and all those low end problems will disappear.:D

    For real sand, like sand dunes, there is no replacement for displacement. I hated my YZ250 in the sand. Yes i had a paddle and rich jetting, still had to ride pinned everywhere. My 04 TE450 was much better and a CR/KX500 even better. Buddy with a YZ470 with a bunch of motor work floats on the sand and is great fun. Need huge power for sand.

    04 TE450...
