Had a 2" on my 03 rev 800x and 2" attack 20 on my m7 etc etc. I cut them all down because they absolutely suck on the trail and they dont hold up to any trail miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you were in deep snow country. Lummox only trail rides 5% of the time nowadays. I can't get enough of offtrail... and it will be that way till I can't do it anymore.... then its back to trail riding.... with an 1.25" track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yah I bought a place in deep snow country but I havent gotten into off trailing there just yet. When I do I will buy a sled that is setup strictly for that. Having only one sled and putting a 2" track on it basically eliminates you from being able to trail ride. I didnt realize the lummox was totally out of trail riding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sledderj Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 You can trail ride a mountain track. It's just a pain in the ass, and vibration filled and slower. You tolerate riding trails to get to the fun stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U can not pay me to go to the UP to trail ride fucking miserable most of the time .

The new 1.25 tracks move snow well and you can off trail just fine. Its not going to be optimal but I'll take the compromise to have good trail manners and studs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could never go longer than a 144, my other sled consideration for next year was a SBA with the 2.0 but i want to ride one first and gary didn't get his.

My last sled came with a 1.625/1.750 tapered track, with studs. Hooled up awesome, but was noiser than fuck. Can't imagine a 2" track Other than around the roads here, no. Unfortunately the trails that we have close to me are closed. It was looking good for day trips back around Christmas time, but Mother Nature had other plans :BH: I'm I'm the process of planning 3, 4 day UP trips right now. One the the 28th-30th and one Feb 18th-21st and one in March. That's not including SnowmadS rides they have planned already. Hopefully we get some snow around here too.

DriftBusta Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 (edited) I agree with Jeff on the 1.75, great all around compromise track, still goes pretty well in deep snow, but smooth and fast enough for an honest 100 mph. I wouldn't even think of putting studs in it though, just have to know your role on the glare ice lol...and its no dragsled track. I was even pleasantly surprised at the 2.6 track on my SKS. Its no top end monster, but the noise/vibration is minimal for such a deep lugged track. I hope to sell the track on the sled, given a replacement track lists for 1200 bucks. wtf.
