Post of my setup
I chose the snowtech MX adrenaline kit after studying all options. For the price I felt it is the best option on the market, roughly tied with CMX and cheaper and a bit behind the yeti. The construction is too knotch with:
aluminum anodized shafts
a full width jack shaft allowing right or left side drive options
Billet aluminum main frame
Large chain adjustment allowing me to run 13t to 15t on the same chain
Belt drive
3rd shock with 2 leverage settings that is compact and simple
Billet aluminum front spindle that is a jewel
Shallow approach angle and long rails
Very smooth swingarm style suspension that is built like a brick you know what
18" of rear axle travel
Nice billet brake caliper/bearing housing on the main driveshaft
My only complaint was the track, a maxtrak 1 that we all know about. I mostly ditch bang and ride river/riverbanks and treelines in the midwest and the hard wind blown snow made it a spin fest. On my basically stock cr500 it came in at 328# with a full tank, and is very fast and fun. So this year I decided to change the track. I purchased a skidoo 163x3 track and cut it down in a table saw to 12.4" wide
I also cut it to length of 43 bars or 129" exactly.
I bought Avid 6 tooth 3" pitch snowbike drivers which was able to use one anti-ratchet but the brake assembly made that side be a regular driver. THtis gave me about 3/10" of additional room. The snowtech kit can easily fit a 3" and I could probably sneak a 3.2" in with some creativity and a chain notch. The 3" is close to the chain and might not need a notch I won't know until it's mounted again.
