Hey all,
Just wanted to give a quick review on my first thoughts of the powerclaw track. Took it out this past sunday and was happy with the results. We had anywhere from 15"-24" new snow, temp was around 20 degrees. Snow was very light and fluffy on the north slopes, wind packed on all the ridges. Rock hard base under all the new snow. The track really seems to climb on top of the snow, very little trenching on my sled and setup. Seems to keep good track speed no matter what the slope angle. Not much traction coming back down though....I wouldn't say that it was as bad as the attack 20's i've ridden in the past, the fingers design seems to help that some, but it doesn't hold ya back like the camo or CE does. Hooks up really well on the packed trails....buddy of mine on a stock 08xp 154 dragged on the trails on the way back down.....my sled pulled the xp every time until about 40-45mph then he pulled away from me. All in all I was very happy with how this track performed. Sled just kept going and going all day. Didn't really get a chance to find a long hard hill pull, pretty high avy risks in most spots. Just a side note, rode a turbo M8 with same 153 powerclaw and 260hp seems to make the sled trench a little more than the stock 800 I ride...
Hope this helps anyone who is on the fence about this new track. I'd say it's worth trying. I'm just not very excited about coming off some hills this spring. Glad I have reverse.
