There have been lots of threads about the A20. If you do a search you can read about them. I personally LOVE the A20. Most people hate them because it is NOT an all around good track. In powder position (which is the way they came on sleds in '05 & '06) they are AWESOME in deep fluffy powder. Most of the time when climbing a hill I can climb further in the fluff than I can in someone else's track. That is how good they work in light fluffy powder. If the snow is hardpack or icy, in powder position they can be down right scary if you don't know how to ride with one. They will spin like crazy and not grab. I've seen people start at the bottom of a hill on hardpack, gas it and get half way up the hill and come to a stop and start going back down backwards while the track is still spinning. Not a good situation and this is why most people hate them. If you turn the track around backwards (in hillclimb position), then in hardpack they will rip your arms off (TRUE)they hook up so good and you'll throw a roost 30' behind you. (VERY TRUE)The drawback is braking on a downhill the track will want to go sideways if you're not careful and they simply don't brake well to begin with (again only in hillclimb position on hardpack or ice). If you're in hillclimb position in deep fluffy powder, they will trench to china. I keep mine in powder position all the time and have learned what to expect on hardpack so it doesn't concern me. The key is to have plenty of momentum BEFORE you start climbing a hill while on hardpack and then you won't loose traction and start going down the hill backwards. In a nutshell, if you want a track that is good in all conditions, it is not the track for you. If you are willing to give up having a great track in all conditions to have a track that is really good in the powder, this is a good track for you. The powerclaw is a MUCH better all around track and is probably as good or almost as good as the A20 in the powder, but it is much more $.
