Track on New Pro Ride
- Thread starter turbonium
- Start date
As far as I know it is the same track as the 2010.
Same track, same durometer as 2009/2010 Dragons.
Now all the RMK's and Pro RMK's get the single ply from the previous Dragons.

Did you like that track?
That's a huge discussion. Try searching on it to get the mixed bag of replys. F-Bomb also has a track mod that involves cutting down the outside 1/4" of the track and putting in screws to make it work better.
I have had two of those tracks and either cut them down or swapped them out for a Camo Extreme. They just slide to much in all conditions. Accelerating into a hill climb or trying to brake coming down a steep hill.

IMO...
The 5.1 is a good track for most conditions most riders...
BUT.... If you are an extreme rider or ride in dense/high-moisture there are better tracks out there.
The 5.1 excells in deep dry powder.
Many people have switched to Camo Extremes, power claws and series IV tracks with better results for their type of riding... some swapped out suspensions at the same time. Make sure to qualify reviews on the tracks with before/after setups.
By no means is the 5.1 the "turd" that some people make the 5.1 out to be.... but that is IMO....there are alot of them out there.
Good thing is, if you swap while still new, the 5.1's have a solid resale value that will take the edge off another $650 track purchase.

5.1 track
BugIto ,have you ran the 5.1 polaris track cutdown and how did the cutdown track compare to the camo extreme in powder and coming down hill on a hard pack surface. thanks in advance for a reply. Last year I ran a camo extreme cutdown and as you would expect it really hooked up on any hard surface going uphill or downhill. The only time that I was at Cooke City,the snow was setup so trenching was not an issue . I was thinking of running the stock track cut down on my 2011 RMK or running a camo extreme uncut.Thanks for any ideas.maybe 7 tooth drivers

It hooked up a lot better cut down (similar to the CE). I lost a little in the powder, but I liked that it hooked up quicker when I was making hill runs. I noticed that it would spin fast in the powder and lost a little traction, but that's so tough to tell because snow is never the same twice. I think the CE is a great all around track. Not as good as the 5.1 in the soft powder and you will need to play with the limiter strap to get the approach right.
