Short or long?

How do you ride?

If you are a fast and loose rider, who wants to jump, run it hard and keep it spinning at higher rpms. The short track is more playful and flickable.

But if you are a finesse rider, you like the steep and deep. If you want to maximize floatation. Go long track. Still maneuverable, but you can feel the extra length behind you.

If your somewhere in between or not sure. 129"

Being that your bike is an XCW the long track is easier on the motor because you won't need to rev it out as much in second to keep moving in deep snow. In harder conditions the ST works fine. I noticed the my EXC (wide ratio trans) worked less when I switched to an LT from the ST.
