m8 162,153

[snow-mo]

I do alot of hillclimbing in light to moderate powder. im going to buy a new m8 whats the best track 153 or 162

162

If you want to go the highest get the 162. I think the 153 is more fun, but thats for how I ride.

more float with the 162....

in light pow a 162 will dominate a 153 at hill climbing, but if you can get traction a 153 is better. I ride from WA to WY and in WA most prefer a 153 and in WY the hardly sell 153 so it kinda depends on where you ride and how you ride. I ride a 162 everywhere and wouldn't change it but I can through a 162 around pretty easy.

Go with the 162. You wont regret it.

I bought the 153 and its a 162 now

If you are a bigger guy maybe the 162. I'm about 150 and have no probs keeping up with a 153. Longer the track more floatation less handleing. Just my $.02

162 all the way

I rode sleds with both tracks and couldn't really tell any difference in the handling when boondocking and stuff. But the 162 will definitely give you more float in the fluff.

Its not how long your track is that matters. Its what you do with it.

162 for the powder

 

[89sandman]

looks like a little of that powder maybe getting down your butt crack if you don't put some pants on hows the ballfield coming?

i like the 162 it floats nice and you can still boondock though the trees good

I like the 62. Hijack; Does anyone know, which sells the most.

I ride a 162, I took a demo 153 out a couple weeks ago and loved it. My next sled will be a 153.

I spoke to two different tech representatives at SLP today independently. They both said without a doubt, get the 153". No hesititation whatsoever.

One of them said, like the M8 hits the sweet spot for power to weight. The 153-155" hits the sweet spot for float vs. fun. They also said if making the highmark on the hill means everything to you, then get the 162".

I spoke to Morehouseperformance also and was told the very same thing.

Today it's three for three for me.

I think I'll get the 162".

At 150lbs and deep powder I have no problems with the 153". I also have a 162". Both M-8's. Noticeably a little slower to turn and to get up on its side with the longer track. Definitely feels sportier with the shorter 153" and now my favorite!!:beer;:beer;
