3.25” track

[xring60]

There are a ton of 850 PRO-RMK 165's around me, but only with the 2.75. That's the path I was originally looking to go, my 850 SBA felt really close to the 9R I was riding out West, but it's so hard to tell when you're not riding them back to back and with the snow and length difference.

I think saving the $3-4k and dumping that into some clutching and potentially a different track might be a better path. At that rate I would gather the general choices are 300lx (3") or S9 (3.25")?

One thing I forgot to mention.. If your riding abilities change or your desires change it's very easy to make a Khaos act like a pro (simple limiter strap change). It's still fairly easy to make a pro like a khaos but definitely more money as the front track shock will need to be changed or modified as well as limiter straps.

Yes, you're correct the 300lx or s9... I've used both on Polaris's, now both of my polaris' have s9's. Like I said before on the days that videos are made you'll want the s9. The other days wont really matter much.

I have a 165 NA with the 2.75" lug track and a 165 Boost with the 3.25" track. The 2.75" track is plenty for the NA motor and actually makes it ride with a lighter feel because it spins a bit easier which helps initiate, getting on edge. The series 8 is less durable though.

The Polaris 3.25 is very durable and works great in the powder, but is a total disaster on hardpack. For comparison the Series 8 2.75 is great on hard and heavy snow, but leaves a lot to be desired in the powder. In order to maximize performance on a given day a guy really needs a powder sled and a hardpack sled.

Anywhere between 170-180 depending on the day and 5'11".

At that weight I’d go 155” for sure!

Not the best choice for our snow. Depends where you ride.

 

[Eatstone]

How much do you weigh?

I think 200-220 is about the max you want to be on the 155

My brother is 260ish and rides a 155 Khaos just fine.
My 15 yr old son rides a 163.
I dont think rider weight matters much for track length.

Anyone know how the 2.6" track does in all conditions? I just picked up a 22 matryx 155 2.6 and wondering if I should put a 3" 155 under it.

In the axys era that was THE track. I'd say ride it and see what you think. What did you ride last?

Well I just bought it for a backup sled because it was such a deal but I still have my main sled as a 23 turbo r 154 3 inch

 

[bjd68]

Maybe the 2.6 track would probably be good for the not so deep days

 

[JH@CM]

I'd leave it and see. May be perfect for firmer or more technical conditions in contrast with the doo.

Yah Ill have to give a try a few days first, good call

Those tracks worked pretty good for their day. On a 155 it might slip a little more than you like.

what are my options anyway for 3 inch tracks if I keep the stock drivers? 2.86 pitch.

You have no options for a 3'' paddle in 2.86 Pitch. The tallest paddle in a 2.86 is the Polaris Series 6, 2.6 paddle. Camso Challenger Extreme 2.5, Peak 2.5. I'm sure Composit has some offerings in 2.6 paddle height

Or, just have 2 tracks you swap out. With the QD, the axys/matryx can be swapped in under 30 minutes. I have an early season track (old track with missing lugs) I use and abuse for November and December riding when show depths are thin and not uncommon to be bouncing off rocks, stumps, downed trees, etc. Once January hits, deep snow track goes on.
