Yes
1, you can gear it up so it works better
2, weight loss is always good
3, snappier

Agree'd. Very happy with mine.

what gear ratio are you guys running ?
Super happy with mine! 16 LE 153 3" track
I currently have 26/63. I tried 27/63 right out of the box and couldn't quite pull the RMPs with how I wanted the clutches. But that was when the sled was brand new, now that it's broke in I will try 27 again. 26 top works great and pulls hard; fun setup and works very well for my riding style. Might just be a touch revy at higher speeds down the trail. I really don't know how guys can stand the stock gearing with the 7 tooth drivers on the 16s.

I ran 26/63 right off the bat but I found that was still to low for my liking. Jumped up to 28/63 and im quite happy now. Pulled rpm perfect in heavy wet snow last trip. That's running MDS weights and riding 5500-7000 feet. Might try the 27 tooth just to see how it compares. I never did ride it stock... cant imagine how low that must be.

rode my 16le 162 3" with chain one ride so i knew how it felt, checked top speed at 68-70 mph, slightly uphill summer hi-way with 4 " new snow; with tki 28/63 gear ratio of 2.25, it ran the same, elevation was 9500'....pulled hills at 10k just the way i wanted, did change the clutching to more aggressive helix, stiffer driven spring, 67 grams in front....belt drive gives more, quicker response than chain and overall feel of sled is better
