I'd have to say 151" is the best all around track for quickness and decent float, but we've seen many days in bottomless powder where the 159's were obviously superior.
favorite track length & why ?

i have had alot of lenghts but i really like the 159's cuz you rarely get stuck.....i guess its personal preference some people say thats too long and heavy....
I believe a 151-155 is the best compromise but it depends how often you ride, who you ride with and how much challenge you want. A wise person once said "you're not having fun unless you're getting stuck". Of course, there are limits to that saying. A number of years ago on 136's, our group of 4 riders got stuck 30-40 times one day in deep pow (one newbie too). That day we all would have liked at least a 159.

155 long enough to go through most anything and short enough to get into close quarters in the trees
went from 144 to 159 last year. I sure get stuck a whole let less
2nd year now on 162 and I love it. I rode a 144 for 2 years, and I love the traction of the 162.
I saw a guy the other day that had a 2008 XP with a 174 track, looked awesome.

144x2x15 is a great all around track and probably my overall favorite, but the 151x2.3x16 is great on the deep pow days.

Running a 144 x16x2.25 on my 07 X.Next sled will be a 155 ish .The 144's easier to turn in the trees in my opinion.Of course on those really deep days I'd like a longer track but I don't think I get stuck too much?
Run a 136" I love the challange of going where the 159's go, plus i can still rip down the trails and it doesn't feel like i'm jumping a boat.
Depends on who's driving the Bus. A pathetic rider can't handle a 162" Boondocking. If you do a lot of cornice, cliff, drift... jumping I'd pick 151. For Mountain Powder 162" is what I like. Also smooth on the trail ride out.... Personal Preferance I guess.The 162-166 inch tracts make you feel like your driving a Bus.
Love my 162
1000 with 162"
Just make sure your pointed in the right direction, cause she won't stop till your scared lol . I only weight 145# bit hard for me to manuver but lots of fun! Also have an 800r with 151 I find it alot easier to control but the 1000 gets alot more adreneline flowing.

159 2.4 for big HP 151 2.4 for smaller HP

been on a 159 for the last three years. too bad doo doesnt make it anymore. The 154 would be the way to go now. 163 is just too long for me. I like airing it out a little. and a 163 aint for that.
