Track recommendations for my first "newer" sled?

[Allanon]

After having been out of snowmobiling for about 12 years, and just getting the old (2002 era summits) sleds out of storage late 2022, I enjoyed it enough to "invest" in a new to me 2015 Summit 174 T3. It needs a new track in a bad way.

Got the sled for the right price, so not so much concerned with cost of the track, just didn't know which was the best "all around" type track.

Looks like options are:
BRP flexedge 174x16x3------ $1400
Camso 9115M 174x16x3-----$1250
Camso 9786M 174x15x3-----$900
Camso X3.2 175x15x3.2---$1250

Various used eBay stuff, mostly junk $400-$900

Thanks in advance...

The oem tracks are a great all round track. They're made by Camso.
The 9115 is the full rod, non brp branded version.
I would get one of these, but have a hard look for a good used one first.

I prefer 15 wide because the 16 wide have so little clearance to the tunnel. When you have been out in the snow and the sled sits over night, sone snow have melted and the ice rubs the side of the 16 wide track. After some riding the ice falls off but i prefer 15.
The Lynx have on their new sleds HOME from 16 to 15 wide..

Thanks guys.

Found another option, anyone used the Composit M700 or M770?

It'll handle a little better with the 15" wide but you give up some flotation however being a 174 that's negligible. Avoid the 3.2 you don't have the power to turn it properly. After hating the lack of play and tendency to tractor straight on my old 174 XM this would be my preference of order:
9786M
9115M
BRP flex edge

I haven't run composit but they are pretty popular as a replacement especially on the 850 doos

Thanks! Found a new take off Polaris 174 which I'm pretty sure is the same as the 9786M.

The traditional (and doo) lug pattern is far superior to the Polaris track in powder.

After calling dealers and checking stock, the 9115M is unavailable/discontinued depending on who you talk to. That leaves the BRP Powder Max 3 at $1400, Composit M700 at $1150, Composit M770 at $1200, or Polaris Series 7 at $750.

Found out this sled also needs a new S-MOD, skis, and a spindle. Leaning towards saving the $$ and grabbing the Polaris track.

Makes sense. Last S mod I bought about 5 years ago was $425 cdn.
