small-bore Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 I've had them studded and non studded. The wind on the lake's Blow's the snow off and leave huge bare sections. It's downright Scarry to hit one of those patches at speed without stud's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Rigid1 Posted March 19, 2021 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted March 19, 2021 I have been running ice series tracks on my past 3 sleds, Never traditional studs and I don't think I ever would on a trail sled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f7ben Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 (edited) Riding anything bigger than a 440 fan sled without studs is dumb as fuck. Buying a new sled and running without studs is like buying a Z06 and then putting some 245 all seasons on the rear Edited March 19, 2021 by f7ben 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CFM Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Good luck without studs here. We even have a trail that cones off the lake where about 1/2 the season, if you have no studs, well, you are screwed. aint happening. You ain’t geting home if you came that eay. Also we have many steep sections on mtns that thise without studs get stuck or start sliding down backward. Ice from either stream overflows or sun melting top layer. You don’t always need studs here, but there are too many times each year you do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t always need studs here, but there are too many times each year you do. 35k+- miles in maine and NH over the last 10-15 years makes me not agree with that. i do like the ice cobra for a little traction to get going on blown off lakes and logging roads that are icy.

Around here, when we'd ride from home during MN's "stud ban", you couldn't ride any paved trail at the time with studs, which was 3 of the 4 ways out of town. Just got used to it for the most part.
