Conquer 280?

[sledhead9825]

Man there is a lot of bad info on this sled forum. Regardless of what these other guys say it is a fantastic track. Very rarely will you have the perfect 3-4 feet of champagne powder. i ride lots in B.C., with deep snow. I ride Revy, Blue River, and Valemount and they get a lot of snow. There has only been a few times where the X3 or the 3.2 were slightly better. The 2.8 does not trench.... And when i meant that i grabs better on set up snow, it didnt mean the trail. You will be very happy with the track. It is night and day better than stock.

Bad info??? You like the track... Excellent. Others don't... Its not bad info its a opinion. We have these forums to read about others experiences of what some feel works and others don't . I ride the sea 2 sky corridor. This year we have had a lot of those super deep days. Needed all the track we could get. When those epic deep days show up. Do you want a track that does the job or almost does the job? What is the great benefit of the Conquer , that you would use it and give up the abilities of the X3 ?? Bare in mind I have had both tracks on the same sled. 17 Axys 174 MTNTK Turbo running 9ish lbs of boost and identical suspension setup. Also the Whistler area has had some record snowfall days this season. One more thing. It trenches!!!!! IMHO

How many miles did you out on the 2.8? Camso recommends 200 miles for the track to break in and in which time changes the characteristics of the track for the better. At least that is their statement.

Try putting the track on backwards....

I think I had about 150 miles on it when I took it off. So it might get better with time.

Que? Whats the idea behind that?

 

[AKFULLTHROTTLE]

Que? Whats the idea behind that?

Guessing the back side of the lugs have less backing ribs so may bend a bit better. Issue with that is the cups would be on the wrong side.

 

[Davajn]

I guess that would make the lugs easier to fold over. Might work on the really deep days! 2in1 track

 

[roni87]

Just like the old attack 20. Has the hillclimb direction and powder. Seems that if breaking sucks, won't hook up in reverse on the trail and trenches bad turn that sucker around.

Here you go Akfullthrottle watch the vid. It's very obvious.

Ha, ya watched that one yesterday. Talked to him a bit about the track. He still prefers the 2.6 over any track. I myself do not like the 2.6 so tells me we like different things about are tracks. He still is running the 2.8 on many of his sleds and also the stock 2.6.

He said it did have a less braking but nothing to be concerned about but for the most part we descend down sideways, not straight done.

Also again talking to a local that has it said the same thing. Likes it way better than the X3 and downhill was no that bad.

Since mine has already shipped I have no other choice but to try it and see for myself.

In deep pow the track trenches plain and simple. For tree riding when you are in and out of the throttle this is not what you want. If you're in more coastal snow it may not be that bad.

For Burandt to go back to the 7lb heavier, smaller and shorter 2.6, these effects must have been significant.... Like others have stated.

I personally love the 2.6 as well. It's the best track I have ridden for the type of terrain and riding I do.

I guess I will hate it then because all I ride is trees. Again he did say he is still using the track and like its. But for the snow they have had he does like the 2.6 better. I myself do not like the 2.6.

I should have said "deep LIGHT powder" conditions. Coastal guys may find it to be the cats meow.

He didn't go back to the 2.8 on all his sleds. He still runs it on quite a few sleds in his fleet. Both his build sleds have it still as well.

Not arguing the other points as I've never ran it so I don't know but just for everyone else's knowledge, if you care to know, Burandt still runs the 280. Keith Curtis did however take it off his sled but in hindsight said that he never went through the break in period that Camso told him was very important. 200 miles was what they told him.

90 % of my riding is coastal. When it gets deep it doesn't work here either. At 200 miles it would have to change dramatically to change my mind.

Did you wAtch the vid that's a 2.6 on Jenny Craig? Not a conquer.

Then why did you post it asking me to watch and to see how it was sliding down hill?

 

[ak]

Go back and read what your buddy posted.

No I didn't watch the video. He said on Wednesday this week that he was running the 280 on his sleds still. Don't shoot the messenger.

He probably is on some of his customers sleds but all I was saying is that's not a conquer track on his (Jenny Craig) build its a 2.6. You can see the lug profile in that picture I took.
