2.6 vs 3" track-Deep revy snow

[Tuesdayyx]

Buddy of mine is set on a polaris. 250 lbs, 6 3" loves crushing deep snow and not getting stuck. Definitely not an ultimate hill climber or ultra technical. He has a 2017 with a 2.6" polaris 163? and it stinks. Loves to trench regardless of suspension.

I keep pushing him to a 3".

Thoughts?

I’m a firm believer 3 inch or F off.

3" all the way . nothing compares for deep snow

 

[Tuesdayyx]

Keep hearing the 3" polaris track is a trench monster? Whats the real world experience?

Put a 3" powerclaw or camso under it.

3" powerclaw

He needs a doo. If he wants to be a real mountain rider he has to have a 16 wide track

I have enjoyed both the cat and doo tracks. Polaris I just dont have much seat time on any of the their different tracks.

put a cut skidoo 3" under it. Seriously best mod he can do

Go with 2.6 sled with belt drive and then add a X3 or powerclaw or better yet the 165 3.5” pitch would be the money combo.

The best answer is a 174" track. Like the one I am selling in the Polaris for sale section of this forum.

!74 and never look back

Do people still run 2.5 inch tracks ? Wow . U might as well get a vertical escape to go with that

Just took the 3.0 off my 850 skud and swapped it for a 2.5 i just tired of babying these 3 inch doo tracks we will see if i miss it or not

The later 2.6 tracks are decent (2019+). The earlier ones not so much as they were clipped incorrectly and had to be run super tight. They fell apart. Shouldn’t trench unless the suspension isn’t set up right. Agree with others a 174 is awesome or something aftermarket with an anti stab and drivers so the track can be run loose.
