Have a 9r with 2.75 track and Live in WA so ride heavier coastal snow conditions. I hit a broken off tree hard and tore 2 paddles at the base and split another paddle. Have about 200 miles of riding since then and the 3 paddles in question haven’t torn off or gotten any worse. No paddles around those paddles have torn either. Track works good in our snow conditions but I think the 2.6 is better. Just got back for 5 days in McCall and the track really shines in the dryer snow. Super impressed. I tore 3 paddles on my 850 with the 2.6 last year on rocks and very quickly tore off 3-4 more paddles in the same row just riding and had to replace that track. Was figuring the damage to the 2.75 was going to spread and was planning on replacing with the Lynx track or a 2.6 but I am going to stay with the 2.75 as long as it holds up.

Well I'm missing about 20 lugs off my track now. Rusty is right the 2.75 is made out of paper machè. Caleb did most the damage but he is denying it ? I want to try the 2.6 Composit track.
The 2.6 composit track is a lug shedder.

Soft paddle so it has no ski lift.

I have the 2.6 composite on my back up sled axys khaos 163 and the 2.75 165 on a the khaos 9r. On our snow here in NW Montana the 2.75 is most def better in my opinion. I think the paddles are both pretty daum soft

I was planning to post a thread tonight for a daily Chilly status report so you can provide the team here with updated status on your track and clutch. I guess I need to stop working 14 hour days. You beat me to it.

Buddy put a m770 165 on his, think its the same track Caleb runs. Its heavy but works very good on our area.

Yeah I picked up the composit M66. I'll give the expert review on it when I get it installed.
Seen the review in person. Thats like trading your new truck in on an older one. Trading down hill. 2.86 or have they made a new 3.5? Why didn't you go m77? I bet that track is at least 10 pounds heavier or more.
