Is 1.25" to small

[RUDY]

my cuz has a 600 Ski-doo 136" with a 1.25" rip saw track he was wondering if that would be ok in the mountains?He has never rode them neither have I so i thought i'd ask the pro's.
He wants to go and try it and if he likes it then he'll look into a mountain sled.
He is willing to to put a bigger track maybe a 1.75" on if it'll make a huge difference.

If the track will make a difference does anyone have one for sale and how much?

I had a simalr size track on my old ZR580 and it did just fine just have to watch where you go and dont expect to highmark anybody. as lond as he isnt breaking trail all day he should be fine.

He should be fine. My first 2 times to the mountains I had a zr 500 with 121' x 1'
He will just have to follow a track in some places and will be limited by how high he could climb but for the most part it's no problem.

I rode a XLT with a 133 X 1 at Boulder .

It all depends on how you ride and the time of year. There have been times when I have wished for a shorter lug track on my sled when riding in the mountains, low snow conditions are a prime example. Anyway when I first started riding we took a Polaris Indy Lite 340 down the pipeline from Corbin. Lots of funny looks but we got every where the bigger sleds went.

I've been telling my wife that 1.25 inchs is above average for years now!!!

My first time to the mountains I had a 91 Cat Prowler 121" x 3/4". Get this, went Valemount rode Clemina and Allen Creek the first part of January. Rode and worked my ars off and had the time of my life trying to keep up. I wasn't able to go everywhere my buds where but I sure had a good time trying.. Just go and use what you have. Be prepared to do a little work and you won't regret the experience. Enjoy the ride....

My 07 Rev came with a 1.25 track and after 1 trip to Revy off it came. I put on a 1.75 camo as I didn't want to change the drivers. But I agree with the other posters, go with what you got and enjoy. The more times you go out the more experience you gain.

our first trips in 85 were with 62hp el'tigres with 116x15x1/2 tracks,our wives had 340s it was a blast.

You should be alright just make sure you don't drop into a bowl that you can't get out of, i'm saying that because it happen to me my first ride in the mountains with a rmk 700 136 with 2" paddles, ended up riding down through the trees which wasn't fun but there was 3' of fresh pow........just be careful.
