wow that is a heavy track i assume anyone running that has a turbo. i dont even see the need for a 163 but im not a huge hill climber.
Nope, I have one on my basically stock 800 Vert. Escape and ride with 3 others with normally aspirated stock bore sleds. Yeah, track speed isn't 80 mph but who needs 80 mph track speed??? Where we ride (trees, deep, steep) traction and flotation are everything.
Who cares what your track speed is it's all about ground speed.

Just for info, track weights and their effect on track speed.......one of our shop sleds ('09 XP...stock engine), we ran the stock 163, I never weighed that track buts it's very light for its size....I would guess close to 45 lbs??
But anyway, we changed to a Camo 174-2.5-16. This track is 70 lbs and fully clipped. We lost LESS than 2 mph climbing track speed in the deep, this is using the speedometer and then doing the calculation for MPH with the 174 to account for the smaller drivers. I was surprised we didn't lose more than that, but this was the reality. We did lose a noticable amount of "snappiness" with the heavy track....to be expected. This was with the identical clutching, changed only drivers and gearing, same RPM.
Of couse with teh 174 the sled puts a hard whoopin' on the 163's in the deep, that thing is a friggin' tractor, the places it will go are incredible!

Paul... A heavy track and light track with the same paddles will get to the same top track speed... Transient speed (Acceleration and Decel rates) , or On/Off/On trottle response will be much different between the two tracks...a heavy one compared to a light one.

I find myself using this info often.
Thanks Eric

I hope to have some weighs of the Camo Peaks track as well as the new challenger extreme 9174/9175 soon.
TTT I wanna know weight of the 9180 Peak!!
Can we move this to the IQ forum? I always have a hard time finding it in the generic Polaris forum

I had my 2008 15X163" 2.4 2.86 pitch Poo track weighed at the Post Office today to get a shipping quote and it was 51.3 pounds. Lighter than I thought it would be. When I got my new 15X155 2.5 CE track from UPS the shipping slip said 63 pounds and the box weighed 2.5 so 60.5 lbs for the 9104m, ouch!!!! I hope UPS is over quoting their weights!!
