Due to the common tearing seen at the lug / rod interface on these tracks in Eastern Canada, we were brainstorming for solutions.
Looking at the previous track on the XM’s, the tip of the lugs was thin and flexible, but the base was thick and pretty robust. Theses tracks last a long time.
Thus we thought about cutting a 3” track to 2.5” to get the thicker base on the mat.
Here, most of the riders run the 2.5” for durability and overall performance reason anyways.
We figured we’d loose a bit of performance on light snow conditions compared to a original 2.5” but we see crappy snow most the time and durability is paramount. Maybe even gain performance in more setup snow ?
Any of you guys ever tried that way ?
