That's a good question... it's a heavy machine, which is typical of Polaris... 461 lbs dry. Still, I would think it'd be faster than a Yamaha Warrior, wouldn't it? If so, then it should do pretty well on the dunes.

Two friends of mine have Warriors and they will go most anywhere on Sand Mountain that you could want, as long as you choose the right line.

Also, a set of sand paddles would probably help a lot. I'd suggest a set of lightweight v-blades, with fairly short blades. No more than 7 paddle blades per tire though. They'll help a lot because you'll be able to float on the sand more.

I ran a 250 trail boss a couple weeks ago, here at st. anthony sand dunes. it just didn't seem to have enough power to make most of the taller hills. i was running paddles, which i am sure helped. i weigh 230 so that didn't help. it still was fun just out ridding. my predator was in for sevice.

A Trailblazer is not even close to a warrior.
Although they both have the same rear wheel HP according to the manufacturers
which is 22 srwhp the warriors weight being 397lbs and the TB wieght being 461.... equals a huge difference in weight to hp ratio .
The warriors being .0554
The Trailblazers being .047
Adding a pipe/jet/clutch kit brings the ratio to roughly .058
which on paper would make the TB faster.
Just depends on which turtle you want to bet on....
