Just curious as to how you could give a any kind of review on the track in 4 days+/-. Some folks have been running them for a few years and have a pretty good idea on the out comes.
I have ran both with the 2.5 being first in the 174 and then the last three years with the 3 inch and what Frank posted is my findings also.
Just saying and don't take my post the wrong way. Cheers

Yep your point?

Well if you read my past posts in the thread discussing the 3'' in general you'd see that I have put over 1200 k on a 3" on my last sled over the last few years. My review isn't from the last 4 days.

Was your last sled a Xp?

Anyone got a used 163" XM stock track sitting around that they'd like to sell? Mine lost a strip of rubber last weekend and I don't think the bumper to bumper 3 year warranty is going to cover it.

I have a 3" on both my sleds. 2014 163 xmx and 2013 156 Txmx. I will not buy another sled that doesn't get a 3" put on before riding. Its not that 2.5" is terrible or anything but would anyone go back to a 2"...yet when the 2" came out it was a big step forward. the same thing happened with length. when a 144 became available it was another big step for mountain riding. The 3" is that new big step for mountain riding. It is however a very specific track so if your doing some trail riding, ditch banging it may not be for you. I would not race your buddies across the lake with one. like everything it has its place.

Out with two stock etecs and another with a three inch 162 this week, we were in deep powder in the tighter trees and the three inch was a show stopper over the other stock2.5 tracks in those conditions, in less snow sleds could of Been a lot closer maybe

the three inch in deep powder sure gets a advantage getting on top of the snow, and trenching less over the stock etecs

I would call call splitsecond and get the porting done as well, maybe some relocate brackets and fat boy springs as well, skid will be on the verge of to much
