Have not been able to find anybody that has them in stock I realize this is an old thread, but I just ordered Polaris #2889115 from Partzilla. $ 208 plus tax. It's Sunday, so I don't have conformation. Maybe it will turn out "out of stock"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnstang Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Do these just last longer or are they also supposed to offer less drag? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both, but the factors are relative. They don't perform miracles. If you burn off hyfax in ten minutes, these might last fifteen. If you have good wheels, the drag difference isn't a lot. I run them and I've never found them cheap. For the price alone, the standard hyfax are cheaper even when you go through more sets. One advantage on the Cat rails is the larger size. I'm picky about alignment and watch it close. The larger size keeps them a little closer to true. If you don't watch alignment, the clips will dig into the sides. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To maximize the wear of the Vespel hyfax, you need to put some high-sided clips on the track. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DriftBusta Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 For almost 200 bucks a set, I'll replace the stockers at 5000 miles for less than half that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the last 10 years I don’t think I have spent 200 bucks buying hyfax. I can’t even remember the last time I changed a set 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
