Ok, thanks for the info, but isn't the Pro-Ride a different pitch? Also, can you clarify what the information is in the white windows?

How does the track compare to the last CE track?

This is for the 153 and 162 M's, drop in. FWIW. Don't think he's insinuating it's a drop in for the RMK. With the p-claw at 2.25, camo is gonna sell a bunch of these to deep powder M riders, especially if it has a hair dryer.

Looks good! Same thing though, no word on it being available in a 2.86 inch pitch with lengths of 155 and 163????????

just throwing this out there, a 153 works on a 155 skid and a 162 works on a 163 skid. They just need to offer new pitches. Imo, if you are awaping tracks, might as well put extrovert drivers the pitch you need.

The paddle design is completely different. The old camo x- (3.0 pitch) has little finger at the top like a challenger. These are flat like the top of a powerclaw.

This new one also has finger-like supports in different places than the other track. Basically the good things about the powerclaw in a 2.5 profile.

cool thanks. couldn't remember. (even though i have one on a current sled...)

so... how about some track theory? i understand durometer (sp?) associated with dry vs. wet snow. but why is the flat tops better? how does the finger placement improve things? guess i've never really thought about track function, just that i know i really like how the extreme works.

I'll leave that to the guys who know or care, but just like you, I just really like how the extreme works in pretty much all of our snow conditions, and I think now the Cat guys have a great drop-in track option aside from PC's.
