15 vs 16 wide 156x3"

[dejadoo]

Looking to buy a 156x3" track, the 15 wide single ply track shows about 10lbs lighter than a 16 wide. I am thinking the weight savings is the way to go,
or is the wider track worth it???

Generally that's predetermined by what you're putting it on.

will be on a Summit, so either one will fit with new drivers

It's a three inch...save ten pounds. Doubt you'll miss that whole inch vs ten pounds less rotating mass.

Pretty sure the 16" 156x3 is a 2ply track?


Plus it may be the only 3" paddles that cover the full 16 inch width. Most are the same as 15", with a little extra belt. Even the new Doo T3 isn't 16" wide on the paddles.

the 156X3X16 is 63lbs on digital scale and has a bigger footprint than the 163x15 track.And there is more paddle area pulling than a 174x15x2.5 track , its a great climber and flickable.It is a 2 ply track and tips bend nicely. you will not save 10 lbs cutting to 15 wide.

15 will be easier to get on edge and seem more playful.
16 will grab more traction.
