I rode my 600 etec for years without studs. But anything with big power needs them if you plan on hooking up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something more along the lines of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And although i would consider a 1.5, the loss of top speed would definitely bother me. Put a 1.5 on my 850 it lost maybe 2 mph off the top end but gained everywhere else. The midrange traction makes up for any loss in top speed IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo 1100, 325 horse, 137x1.25 ripsaw 2 with 5 studs per row, high speed trail riding. What unstudded track would have more traction? Idicocy to be tail riding a 325 horse sled. thats a lake racer where studs are needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoL Yes at a buck thirty a 1" with enough studs is the ticket if all your looking for is big top end mph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
