3" track
There are 6 of us running the 174X16X3 on their sleds here in NW Montana, two Polaris edges and the rest doos. All the doos have stock engines. I don't know what my track speed is because I haven't been able to see my speedo all year, too much snow. I can tell that this track pulls harder and slips less than the 174,2.5 that I had on last year. I saw in the low 40's last year with the 2.5 and expect to see the same this year when thing clear up. I ride around Kalispell, Montana. We are never farther than 30 feet from a tree. Momentum is the key for the riding around here. The sled that can accelerate from 0 to 30 in the shortest distance, without digging a hole will always win the momentum game. Big tracks are the answer. I had an Edge in '03 with a 159 on it. Consider this, the 174, 16 has a 20% bigger footprint than the 159 and the paddles are 50% bigger. The 174 3" weighs only 11 pounds more.
The reason that you can go more places in the Spring, is that you have more traction available. We are trying to get Spring traction in December and January.
