Yes. I raced 3 stock 163 pro rmk's with 15 wide and my 154 2 1/4" 16 wide beat them by 1 sled multiple times up a fairly steep hill climb. Power needs to match the track length and paddle size or else track speed suffers. Very simple.
It's all about the track speed. These 174x3" tracks are going to be rotating pretty slow. All depends what type of rider you are. If you like chute climbs and long pulls 174 might be a good option but if you are more of a freerider (trees, jumps, whips etc) I would stick with a smaller track and...
Ahh stick with the 154 xm then swap it to a 156 camo 3". If your a good enough rider it will take you anywhere you want and you can still dangle through the trees with ease.
Sorry poo riders. I did need you guys to help me this past weekend in vale when my reed pedals broke on my 12 freeride so I have a special place in my heart for you guys.
What are you guys talking about? Boobs and blood? My kind of movie. I heard the shark only likes polaris riders because they are a lot softer meat. Lol and the occasional snowblower operator.
Don't waste your time. Buy a Suomy helmet. Best on the market by far. I know a few pros that will never look back. Light as a feather, wicked design but not cheap at all.
I wouldn't say best. Have you watched the hour long you tube video of camera comparisons? The AS-15 is by far the best choice. Much better video and sound quality also has the Carl ziess 170 degree lens.
