I'm buying a used track for the viper. It's a trail sled with 136 extension. I have a line on a couple old used tracks in mint shape and just wondering which would be better for the trail. First is from an 01 skidoo touring and second is from an old vmax touring not sure the year. Opinions please!! I'll be cutting the windows and clipping them and studs also.
Thanks [emoji4]

I just logged back on here for the first time since last season, so my memory isn't that sharp yet. But I believe Ski-Doos run a different pitch track so that one won't work. Someone correct me if I'm wrong...

Not only that, I think their tracks are 16" wide...

The older skidoos were 2.52 pitch 15" wide

Both look pretty nice. You didn't mention lug height? The second one looks like a camoplast which would be a nice track.

The second track is a camoplast predator. My opinion don't get it, worst track I've ever owned. Came stock on my dads 02 vmax and my 03 viper. Mine was studded and my dads wasn't. On both sleds the traction was poor on the trails, we ride 90% trails. We only ran one winter with those tracks and switched to a camoplast ripsaw. Never looked back after that.

I don't believe either of those are predators. I had a predator on my srx and it was a great track! You might be thinking of another track...
Edit: actually you might be right about the top picture, it kinda looks like it might be. It's definitely worn making it hard to tell.

First track is the stock unit from bombardier for the skidoo touring from that year. It's got the skidoo part number on it. The second is an old predator. I've read the old finger lug tracks like the predator were really loose feeling. I'll probably grab this skidoo track it looks pretty good. It's going to get every window opened up and clipped and studs. Even if it just gets me through one season. Just don't have the extra cheese to spend on a new track this year. Way to expensive. These are 1 inch lug tracks which is what I'm looking for. Although both of my ripsaw tracks have been great all around tracks, I've had problems with them getting chewed up really quickly. They don't seem to hold up very well in my opinion.

Must of been a first generation predator or something. Because the track I have is originally a predator but has been changed to the carve track.

I guess there's 2 types of predator tracks! Lol maybe they've discontinued the finger type for the full block type.
Here's the one I'm talking about. It is an awesome track! I didn't have studs and it was great for the trail. If you can get your hands on one in the future do it, you won't regret it!

That's the one I had on my viper. Guessing it's an older style. Don't get that track. Like it was said in another post they have a real loose feel to them. Ever mine studded on the hard pack didn't grab traction well at all.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll stay away from it and keep shopping around [emoji4]
