I just bought this used as a polaris series IV track. Looking at the 144 on my 800RMK now, it has polaris logos all over it. This one doesn't have any. Just got me wondering if this is actually the track i was told it is. Who's got a genuine Polaris track they can compare to?

These are the only markings i could find anywhere on it:

According to tracksusa.com it is the same as the Polaris seriesIV 159" x 2.125" #9978 just with holes drilled...

Hmm, i think you're right. Is there any performance difference between the OEM polaris and the tracksusa version?

That's not a factory Polaris track. I don't know how they compare.

I just went and double checked the original for-sale thread. It never said it was a Polaris, so the seller did nothing wrong. In fact, he said it is a camoplast. So it was just in my mind that i was thinking polaris.

Anyway, i'm assuming performance differences are negligible if there are even any at all. This one is probably better being that it is fully clipped/ported.

That is the series four replica. I put one on my sled last year and loved it. Of course I did go from 151 to 159 so that may have something to do with it. The main diff. is that one is 2.125 instead of 2 inches. Oh yeah and half the price brand new.

Camoplast has built the tracks for Polaris for a long time AFAIK... both my 01 and 03 have said Camoplast right on the track. Wifey's 99 might also but I can't remember for sure.

it is not a polaris track, it is a comoplast series 4 but it is a better track, I had a 2 in, that track and a 2.4 I liked that track the best
