Which durometer powerclaw track is better for turbo sleds?

03rmking · Nov 11, 2009

So I have a BD PG M8 that has the standard 08 challenger track. It's a great spring and hardpack track, but its terrible in the powder. Literally the sled will barely out pull a stock 8 in powder.

So i'm thinking about switching to a powerclaw. But I hear it is available in two durometers. Which will be the better all around for a turbo? And also how do I know which powerclaw is which when ordering?

We've got an hcr with the 90 that is turbo'd, the first thing I want to do to that sled is lose the 90 duro.

Not impressed with the 90 at all.

I've ridden sleds with the kind of HP you'll be putting out with an 80 on them, and was very happy with them.

Can't say I would recommend the 90 for anything other than stiff snow.
Keep in mind, there are MANY tracks that are worse, I'm not saying it sucks, I'm simply saying that the 80 is just SO much better.

I believe the 90 duro is better for the turbo sled. It will not lay over like the 80 duro track will.

the 90 only comes in a 153 shorty

..the 80 comes in both

the 80 works great on a pump M1000.....so im guessing you should be ok with a pump 8

Yup, I ride a 153 short track.

How do you guys like the PC vs the challenger?
