Need help deciding between 155" or 163" track

[Braedend]

Hey guys,
I'm looking to snow check a new rmk pro this year. I'm having trouble making up my mind between the 163 and 155 track. I have heard mixed reviews that the step up from the 155 to 63 isn't all that worth it on the pros. I am in the mountains quite often I don't do alot of high marking. We do mostly tree riding.

Thanks ahead of time for the help!

you notice it big time when there is lots of fresh snow ...for what it cost get the biggest track you can

exactly. down the road when you want a 163 it will cost 2000 instead of 400 from the factory

Climbing wise the 163's can suffer a tad though can't they?

Ok. Have just read a few posts on here about some 163 having to poach a 155's track to get where the 155 was. I do agrees though they rule in all situations, you have time to slow down an think in the trees instead of having to pin it to stay on top:

Oh ok. That's where the float ability of the 163 strives.

ya i remember that thread. but incresed traction + increased surface area = better performance in most snow conditions.

Ok yea my next will be a 163, just wasn't sure about the climbing vs. the shorter tracks. Arean't you running a 174?

I have a 2012 Pro 163 and do a lot of tree riding. The 163 is what you want if you ride in deep powder. It doesn't seem too long. I've heard that the 155 can be more fun in terms of ski lift but you can adjust your suspension and get the 163 to lift too.
