Overview
This is a Roost MX Sand/Snow Paddle Rear Tire. Time to hit the dunes or shred some powder! The Roost MX rear paddle tire from Pro-Line is designed to turn your PROMOTO-MX into a sand or snow-flinging machine.
The Roost MX does exactly what its name states it makes massive roosts in sand or snow! It features 9 large cup-shaped scoop paddles allowing you to power out of deep sand and get up on the plane with ease. The stiff, durable compound keeps the paddles true and wear to a minimum.
A few tips for driving your Roost MX-equipped PROMOTO-MX in the dunes:
- For the ultimate handling on sand, remove the side lean bars/wheels to keep the bike from digging in when leaning/steering.
- Keep your speed up as much as possible to keep the bike floating across the sand!
- Brush/shake out your chain after every battery pack to remove as much sand as possible
- A knobby front tire is the best performing front tire as well as being the most scale
The Roost MX comes conveniently pre-glued to a black Supermoto wheel, which is smaller in diameter than the stock wheels. This allows for the largest possible paddle and gives your bike that true-to-scale look. Inside the tires are high-quality closed cell inserts for consistent handling and durability. This tire is proudly manufactured and assembled at Pro-Line Headquarters in the USA!

The Roost MX is engineered specifically for soft terrain environments where traditional street or motocross tyres simply cannot compete.

RC enthusiasts across the UK recognise Pro-Line as a trusted brand for specialist aftermarket components, and the Roost MX represents the pinnacle of paddle tyre design for 1/4 scale models. The pre-mounted configuration on a smaller-diameter black Supermoto wheel not only simplifies installation but also enables larger paddle dimensions whilst maintaining that true-to-scale aesthetic that serious RC modellers demand. Whether you're hitting your local sand pit, exploring coastal dunes, or setting up an indoor sand track, the Roost MX transforms your riding dynamics completely.
Key Features
- 9-Paddle Tread Pattern — The tyre features nine large, cup-shaped scoop paddles strategically positioned to bite into sand and snow with maximum efficiency, allowing you to generate incredible roosts and thrust yourself across soft terrain with ease that standard tyres simply cannot match.
- Creates Massive Roosts in Sand and Snow — This tyre does exactly what its name implies: it flings sand and snow dramatically behind your bike, creating that signature roost effect that makes dune and snow riding so visually impressive and genuinely thrilling to experience firsthand.
- Durable Material Compound — The stiff, purpose-engineered rubber compound maintains paddle integrity through repeated use, resisting deformation and wear so your paddles stay sharp and effective rather than rounding off during extended riding sessions in abrasive sand environments.
- Pre-Mounted for Convenience — The tyre arrives already glued and mounted onto the black Supermoto wheel, completely eliminating the need for messy tyre gluing, centering, and waiting for adhesive to cure; simply install and ride within minutes.
- True-to-Scale Design — The smaller-diameter Supermoto wheel, compared to standard PROMOTO-MX stock wheels, allows for maximum paddle size whilst maintaining authentic motorbike proportions that collectors and serious riders appreciate for display and video footage.
- High-Quality Closed Cell Foam Inserts — Inside the tyre walls are closed-cell foam inserts manufactured to exacting standards that deliver consistent handling characteristics, absorb impacts from sand and snow obstacles, and provide durability that budget alternatives simply cannot provide.
- Made in the USA — Pro-Line manufactures and assembles the Roost MX at their headquarters in the United States, ensuring quality control and engineering excellence that has earned the brand recognition across the RC hobby worldwide since 1982.
- Black Supermoto Wheel Design — The sleek black wheel complements the tyre's aggressive paddle design, delivering a cohesive aesthetic that looks professional whether you're riding casually or creating content for social media.
- Optimal Performance for PROMOTO-MX Models — This tyre is engineered specifically for Losi PROMOTO-MX variants, ensuring perfect fitment and performance characteristics tuned to the unique chassis geometry and power delivery of this popular 1/4 scale motorcycle platform.
Technical Performance
The Roost MX represents the cutting edge of soft-terrain tyre technology for 1/4 scale RC motorcycles, engineered with precision tolerances and material science that separates professional-grade components from budget alternatives. The nine-paddle design isn't arbitrary—it's the result of extensive testing to find the optimal balance between thrust generation, steering response, and wear characteristics. The closed-cell foam inserts perform multiple functions simultaneously: they absorb energy from impacts with rocks and obstacles hidden in sand, they prevent the tyre from collapsing under cornering loads, and they maintain consistent pressure characteristics without requiring air or traditional inner tubes. The durable rubber compound used throughout the tyre is formulated specifically for sand and snow environments, where softer compounds would degrade rapidly and harder compounds would fail to generate adequate grip. The Supermoto wheel onto which the Roost MX is mounted features a smaller diameter than standard PROMOTO-MX wheels, a deliberate engineering choice that allows for larger paddles whilst keeping ground clearance appropriate for the motorcycle's geometry. The pre-glued, ready-to-install configuration eliminates variables that often plague home installations, ensuring that every Roost MX that ships from Pro-Line's US headquarters meets the same exacting standards. Whether you're running a stock PROMOTO-MX or a heavily modified variant, the Roost MX delivers performance that transforms your riding experience across desert, beach, and snow environments throughout the UK and beyond.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will the Roost MX work with my standard PROMOTO-MX wheels? — No, the Roost MX comes pre-mounted on a smaller-diameter black Supermoto wheel specifically designed to accommodate the larger paddles whilst maintaining proper ground clearance and aesthetic proportions. This is actually a significant advantage because the smaller wheel diameter allows for more aggressive paddle design, directly translating to better sand and snow performance.
- Is the Roost MX suitable for beginners? — While the tyre itself is straightforward to install (being pre-mounted), mastering sand and snow riding with paddle tyres requires experience and technique. Beginners should start with proper instruction and practice in safe environments, but the Roost MX's robust construction and durability make it ideal for learning dune driving techniques without worrying about component failure.
- How much does the Roost MX cost compared to standard tyres? — The Roost MX represents a specialist component and is priced accordingly, reflecting the engineering development, precision manufacturing in the USA, and the inclusion of the pre-mounted Supermoto wheel. The cost is justified by dramatically improved sand and snow performance compared to using standard street or motocross tyres in these environments.
- What tips do Pro-Line recommend for driving the Roost MX in sand? — Pro-Line recommends several techniques for optimal performance: first, remove the side lean bars or wheels to prevent the bike from digging in excessively during cornering and steering; second, maintain consistent speed to keep the bike floating across the sand surface rather than digging in; and third, brush and shake out your chain after every battery pack to remove accumulated sand that could cause wear and mechanical issues.
- Can I use the Roost MX in snow as effectively as sand? — Absolutely, the Roost MX is equally effective in snow environments, where the paddle design provides excellent thrust and the stiff compound resists compression from cold temperatures. Many riders report that snow performance is equally impressive or even superior to sand performance, depending on snow consistency and temperature conditions.
- Will I need a knobby front tyre to match the Roost MX? — Pro-Line specifically recommends pairing the Roost MX with a knobby front tyre, which not only delivers the best handling characteristics in sand and snow but also maintains proper scale appearance that collectors and serious modellers appreciate. Standard street tyres on the front don't perform adequately in soft terrain.
- How does the closed-cell foam insert affect handling? — The closed-cell foam inserts provide consistent, predictable handling characteristics by absorbing impacts and preventing the tyre from deforming under cornering loads. This means your steering inputs deliver more consistent responses, your lines remain predictable, and durability is significantly extended compared to tyres using lower-quality or no insert materials.
