The third of the four newly released atv tires by GBC (Greenball Corporation) is the Dirt Commander. The Dirt Commander is one of the few 8 ply atv tires available on the market. Many people have compared the Dirt Commander to the Terra Cross tires by Itp. If you compare the two the tread pattern is quite similar, both tires feature a wrap-around shoulder lug, although Gbc’s tire is an 8 ply while the Terra Cross is only a 6 ply. The Terra Cross is also a radial tire where as the Dirt Commander is a bias-ply. The Dirt Commander is described by Gbc as follows: “GBC Motorsports Performance ATV tires are built to get you over tough terrains to your destination. Dirt Commander, GBC’s new all terrain tire, is a super tough 8-ply rated bias tire that gives you excellent puncture resistance. Its siped tread design also gives additional biting edges for better traction in all terrains.” We believe the Dirt Commander will become one of our best selling atv tires. If you’re looking for a tough tire built for any type of terrain, the Dirt Commander is an excellent choice. To make a purchase or for more info click here.

The second of the four newly released tires by GBC (Greenball Corporation) is the Spartacus. The Spartacus atv tires are one of the few 8 ply radial atv tires on the market. As described by GBC, “The Spartacus is a new performance ATV tire specifically designed to conquer mud and other tough terrains. You can be confident because Spartacus’ aggressive tread design delivers superior traction while the radial 8-ply rated carcass construction puts more rubber on the ground for a larger footprint and a smoother, more comfortable ride.” GBC has stepped up their game with the release of these new atv tires. We look forward to putting these tires to the test and see how they perform through a variety of terrains. With the reputation GBC has already established for themselves, we have pretty high expectations for these new atv tires. We now carry the Spartacus tires on our website.

The other day my brother and I went for a ride up Millville canyon in Cache Valley, Utah. The weather was great and there were very few people on the trail so it was a perfect day for a ride with some awesome views. The trail leading to Logan peak has some long sections of trail completely covered with large rocks making it hard on your back and your atv. Other than that the trail is fairly easy and enjoyable. About half way up the trail we came to a spot where there had been a snow slide and the snow hadn’t melted yet. The trail we were on was cut into the side of a mountain andit was too steep to go down around the slide andthe path up around the slide was very difficult. We were worried that if we tried to drive over the slide our atv’s might slip on the snow and slide down into a gully that would be extremely hard and time consuming to get out of (if ever) and would most likely result in a roll over. I approached it first and decided to take the high route up above the slide, my brother stayed behind to see how it worked out for me. I got hung up on some branches and had to hop over a few logs, and it just about rolled. After a long time of bushwhacking /lifting/ plowing etc.. we barely got it through to the other side. We decided that wasn’t the best route for him to get his across. The atv I was on had a winch on it but his did not. We decided to try and ride his atv up over the slide and see what happens. Things went well until about half way across when the atv started sliding downhill towards the point of no return. After a few minutes of sliding and digging through snow and mud we had it officially stuck, and I mean BAD! It wasn’t just hung up in the mud and snow, it was also on the verge of rolling and at the edge of a very steep drop off into some trees. We hooked the winch from my atv onto it so we wouldn’t lose it down the hill but because of the weird angle we were at from the 1st atv to the 2nd (basically a 90 degree angle) there was no way for us to pull it back up onto the trail. At this point we realized that we really needed a snatch block (pully block) that we could attach to a tree uphill from the atv that was stuck. By using a snatch block we could run the winch cable from my atv up through the pulley and back down to the stuck atv. We weren’t prepared with one but we did have a tie down strap andwe were able to make a make-shift one using the hook on the tie down. We wrapped it around the tree and ran the winch cable through the hook on the tie down. It actually worked pretty well and we were able to pull the wheeler back up to the trail. The winch we had was the Ramsey 2500lb Atv Winch. We were again impressed with its pulling power and how easy it was to use. We are now looking to buy another winch so both four wheelers will be equipped. Or even without a second winch if we just had a snatch block our scary situation could have been easily resolved. We were surprised at the amount of snow up there still, we actually couldn’t get all the way to Logan peak. Overall it was a great ride and a fun learning experience.

We’ve recently been testing an American Trails ATV bag. American Trails offers an entire line of atv bags for adventure or utility. We specifically used the ATV Padded Bottom Bag. This particular model mounts on the rear rack of your ATV. We used the product on a Honda Rubicon and the bag fit nicely on the rack and was securely mounted throughout various rocky rides. One of the coolest features of the American Trails lineup is that their ATV bags are designed without zippers. We packed our bag full of straps, water, extra clothing, recovery and survival gear because you never know what you’ll come up against. The padded bottom bag stayed securely closed and gear remained dry in the wet conditions – just what we wanted. The American Trails padded bottom bag has a padded seat for resting at senic overlooks and features a large rear compartment and two side compartments that serve as arm rests as well. Two detachable water bottle holders are also included with the bag and attach to the front of the side compartments. There are also bungee cord lacing across the top of the side compartments for light weight bulkier items like a jacket.
Overall I was impressed with the bag. It’s rigid sidewalls help retain it’s shape even when loaded with lots of gear. The zipperless design is great. It has a large overlap around the lid and a nylon strap and buckle keep the lid secure. These ATV bags are easy to install and easy to remove if you need to. I’d recommend them to anyone looking for a less expensive alternative that is easier to install or remove than the traditional hard plastic or fiberglass type ATV Cargo boxes.
