People on here like the X3, but I haven't ridden a sled with an X3 yet that really stood out. I would say my experience is that the 2.6" will do anything an X3 will, but give you a (slightly) snappier, lighter feeling machine. It spins more (which can be good for sidehilling), but gets around the same. Only downside to the 2.6" I have seen is the wear when not fully clipped. 3" always feels slower, but is fun in a 155 for wheelies and re-entries.

Snowies are closed as of today, 6/1; think you (BJ) were looking for a place to test.

Only off trail riding is closed on 6/1. Legally you can still ride the main roads like 101 Sand lake rd

Is the 2.6 still wearing out quickly and blowing off chunks like it did on the 2016?

We ended up at the top of the world/bear tooth path...
The 2.6 worked just fine in spring conditions and with it fully clipped had no issues with hyfax etc.
Cant wait for powder next year, I think the "old XM" will be a solid back up/over achiever-BJ

BTW- The SHR921 runs well:face-icon-small-coo

Where can I guy get the clips to fully clip the 2.6. With 200 miles mines already grooving pretty bad. Also melted a hyfax like nothing after a rain, ice scratches couldn't kick anything up do to the rain turning into ice.

We have them in bags of 60 for $150 CDN. in Calgary. USA customers save about 30-35% with the exchange rate.

The 2.6 x 163 will use 58 from memory. The 3" will use 56 clips.
