I think the much anticipated 129 with sx kit might be perfect. I think the lt actually transfers more naturally ( like a bike) than the st, definitely turns a little slower, but when pointed uphill in deep snow it is way better!

He clearly said it was a SX. It's on a RMZ450, has been compared to a KTM450sx with a 2014 ST and a 2014 SX on that bike, an RMZ with a 2014 SX and ST, CR 500 with a 2014 ST, CRF450 with ST and SX, KXF's with ST's, YZF's with ST's... He's ridden nearly every bike and kit combo out there to compare it too.
I haven't seen it first hand - but a rider of a CR500 with a 2014 ST kit told me he was having to poach tracks to keep up with the RMZ with the 2015 SX proto in deep powder!
Bling bling
Also shows how deep it was

After what you just stated, if true, im selling my 2014 ST for a 2015 SX. That sounds to good to be true!!
So it is a rounded st track? Or are the lugs flat and it is narrowed to the width of the current sx track?
The track is flat and is the same width as 2014 sx, the flex motion makes it handle better than the rounded track. And the track is 6 lbs lighter than the hawk track and doesn't dig

The new SX kits are still in development. All the thing Moto365 posted are true along with some other good features that are not yet done to be able to show you.

Is this a 121 track we are talking about? Sounds like I know what I will be buying for next year.
Yeah 121
I can attest to the performance of the 2015 SX prototype powered by a completely stock 2013 RMZ 450 as I was the 2001 CR500 w/ 2014 ST kit riding with him that day. Snow conditions where perfect the powder was light and fluffy and a good 2' deep with pockets up to 3' deep with a setup base underneath. Not only did I spend the entire day trying to keep up with this SX kit but I also threw a leg over it and put some miles on the road and in the steep and deep. On the road I was completely blown away by how well it handled and fast it would go pulling 5th gear. I have never felt so in control on the road going 60mph I was literately screaming with joy as I railed the first corner 4th gear tapped, as I came into the next corner I didn't even down shift or let of the gas and took it 5th gear tapped. I don't know how it's even possible for that kit to hold a corner going that fast and not even try to skip or break loose but it was amazing. Later on in the day I hopped on it to see how it handled and went in the deep pow because I was having a hard time understanding why in the hell I was having to poach his track to keep up through the trees. A quick five minute blast through the trees completely sold me on buying an SX kit for next season, it floated through that deep powder better than my ST while pulling more track speed and handled was awesome.
Bottom line the 2015 SX kit is going to be very capable in the mountains and I really wish I had not rode it because now I need a new kit this coming fall and am not quite sure how to explain that to the wife.

What do you mean by the (flex motion) that makes it handle better?
