Peak or power claw or similar track?

[yooper01]

I came across a free peak 2.25 track. I was thinking about cutting it to 10.5" and mounting it on my lt. I will shorten it so that's not a problem. Anyone ran that track ? And have feedback.

The peak is the best track on he market according to the guys i sled with. One even said his peak 2.5 was almost on par with a 3" challenger in most situations.
The power claw has pretty soft lugs and is only a deep powder track and sucks on hard snow

Peak 2.5 slightly modified

Thanks for the replies, I am debating just cutting it to width and not tapering it first. Then if it seems really noticable I'll taper it like hawksters.

That is the best plan IMO, cutting lugs is easy on the bike and you might not miss it. The extra paddle is very nice on a short skid

What lengths and widths have you experimented with?

I'm thinking of going 11" wide

It's a 153 12 3/4 wide , there's a lot of different ways of cutting the width but curving the lugs not so much .
Tried a single template but the lug measurements was very inconsistent so this is the only thing I could think of , might give you some ideas if you end up cutting the lugs .

i would assume they are talking about the multi-durometer peak. the earlier peak tracks had stiff lugs that were great on set up snow but trenched bad in the fluff. tracksusa has the p/n's:

Nope, I'm talking about the older 2.25" lug stiff ones. I average one trip to Cooke a year, and maybe I just pick bad weeks but only once in the last 10 years have I had epic bottomless powder.

I think the stiffer lug will work better for my riding.

I don't think you can buy the 2.25 peak anymore...

I'm running a 10.5" 141 powerclaw. It didn't work so good in the normal direction so I flipped it around and can hardly spin it now. It seems to rob some power but it really hooks up. I don't think you should taper a 10.5" track, it feels great side to side in all conditions.

The peak track is a stuck going downhill powder track.



There is a reason the Polaris hillclimb sleds run the peak.

Great in hard snow though.
