I'd love to hear a layman's explanation (non-Polaris word salad) of the differences between these two and why choose one over the other?? It seems like there are so many similar options that I'm having decision paralysis.

The 3" is actually a 162 and is a 3" pitch. 165 is 3.5 pitch. The 165 is slightly lighter weight. Past that i dont have any first hand experience, i know here in idaho most people dont like the 3" polaris track and in the past everyone got the 2.6. The 2.75 tracks seem to be well liked as well except the ratcheting issues.

The 3" is a digger, the 2,75" is much more similar to the 2,6, but lighter and feels like it gains speed easier. 3" is very robust I would say, the 2,75 is still ok but not so many miles so far...

they put extroverted drivers and an anti stab with the 2.75, plus they increased the durability of the track.

I don’t know what / who VOHK is but it sounds official! Then again I just recently learned about drivers and anti stabs in researching which track to get.
VOHK is Eric Woog, Alpine motorsports.
(Tunes all burandt’s sleds / turbos)

He’s already testing the patriot boost for reflash tunes to up the performance.

VTI tuner they will be selling in the fall.
