i have a mountain yam with a 162 track...and tamer....( love my tammer..) thinking of changeing it....the track... but here is one problem... i live in quebec.. we do not see the snow like you guys...( except this year )... so i need something that will not feel too much like a truck tire when the snow is not too deep... there usually is a few inches when i ride...of packed snow....on the trails... the stock works pretty good.. but when i climb .. in deep snow i feel there is something better... i have to ask you guys out here... not too many guys around here... that actually know what they are doing on a long track.... i spend about 60 percent on the trails... mainly to get to the places to ride.... we have alot of trees and hills... not alot of open places... except mostly flat feilds...so i need a track for both...but i want to stay7 with the big paddles....
which track...need some help

its a 162 and i like that size.... its a little harder to play in the trees .. but its good exercise.... its a stock one and it does seem to fold alot...
you seem to want a track the does every thing ha . my camo extreme is really rough on the trails so it would be a track to steer clear from . if youre just unhappy about youre lugs folding over try flipping the track around it should help out
thanks
i was looking at a camo... and im glad you said it would be hard on the trails.... in thought it might... but glad you metioned it

I have a 162 Maverick on my T-cat. And after 2 seasons its in great shape.
I read all the concerns about the paddles folding and I must admit, I lift the sled in the garage so the track is off the ground when I'm not riding it.
I had a guy ask me a couple of weeks ago if the track was brand new because no bent or missing paddles.
This track works excellent in deep snow and seems to throw snow up into the coolers good on less than perfect days on the trail. Unless your having real reliability issues, I wouldn't change it, your not going to find a track that works a lot better for all around use.
That being said I would cut a 2.5" extreme down to 2.25 or 2" if you are going to use it on a trail a lot, but honestly I don't think you it would be worth the money unless your Maverick is missing a bunch of paddles.

thanks for the honesty
great to hear that its not as bad a track as i thought... and no i have done my zipper-head days when i had to spin the track... i thought that the track being a little softer than after market... that this might be an advantage being on the trail...
thanks guys

cat mountain looks sweet
ya the cat track looks really good.. and the rails it has and it also has some nice shocks on the back... atleast some companies are listening to riders...
