Track Poll 2.5 Power Claw??
- Thread starter mmsports
- Start date
The powderclaw is a good but sucks going down the steep hills and its too bad its only 2" tall , it does good for a 2" when you are riding with guys with taller paddled tracks.It would be nice to see a actual 2.5" tall powderclaw .Went to the CE 2.5 this year but I did like the pwdrclw.
Kinda nailed that one on the head didn't ya! Haha
I have high hopes for this track
I like that they made the lugs a little taller too, or at least thats what it looks like.

I was not as disappointed in the p claw as I thought I would be. Mine is the 85 duro , maybe that's why it worked better in braking? I'm not one who likes crazy carpet braking and I was expecting to be pulling this track off ASAP. It climbed right with doos with 2.5s. I also liked the way the fingers worked in bad hardpack and ice. I dunno. I'm having a hard time deciding between a 2.5 extreme and a 85 duro 2.6 pc
i am not trying to be a smart a?# here, i reallly believe that the people who think that the pc is a good track(i was one off them) havent had a chance to ride a ce yet. i have a friend with the identical sled. we were dead even in every respect. i put the ce on my sled and it was game over for him. in the trees, on the flat, straight pulls, and every situation we have tested. the first day he rear end my sled while we were playing in the trees b/c he could get stopped where i had in a tight spot. ce is amazing. i have a buddy who just put a "peaks" on that is saying very good things about it too, havent seen it for myself though.
I agree 100%. I hate the powderclaw. Can't wait to have another CamoExtreme under my sled this season. But a large group of people seem to like it so Cat keeps selling it.

for me I cant think of a better track the the pc.
I think it is at home in real technical tree riding and as far as braking goes I dont often brake with the track anymore its all flopping the sled on its side and stuffing the a arm into the snow ....works great and you can control were you end up much better then skidding down the mt.

Swapping mine for a Camo Extreme. For our snow out and down here the Powderclaw is just poor for steep tree lined downhill runs. There is something to be said for not being on a toboggan. While tree's are for traction, braking they have a tendency to cause some damage.
This is a weird one to bump 
I can't compare to a 2.6 PC but the 2.5 CE I have works great around here. It floats really well under high rpms in fresh and digs in really well on setup tracks. The whole reason I got it was because I do a lot of shuttle laps for skiing and the pc soft duro was just scraping along on worn in tracks without getting a good purchase. I'm glad I did.
And yeah I'm on the north end of the lake so........same snow.

Really wish the 2.6 PC or even the Challenger extreme were offered at a 141" length... anyone know what it would take to get a 2.5" 144 to fit in a Cat HC?

I still think the 2.6 pc is a great mtn track. But my mtn days might be getting limited. I still want a capable mtn sled but the pc sucks in the flat lands. It spins too much. I've thought about a peaks if they make a 3.0 pitch or even cutting the tipped back portion of the pc off. I think that would make a killer hard pack track but I wonder if it will ruin the track in deeper snow
