I live in Maine and I need a track that can handle the drifts and hard pack. I also whant to run studs ? We have the mostly really loose snow or really sticky snow and we just got 3 feet of powder!! I don't care if I have loose top end speed.
Sounds like a 1,25 inch ripsaw will fit your riding style. If you buy one, be sure you buy the correct length, width and pitch.

Are you considering new tracks? If so a 1.6 Cobra is a good fit for a Maine winter. A 1.6 Ice Cobra if you must have studs. There are many members on here w/ Cobras who do not miss there studs at all w/ this track.

The Cobra is hard to beat for that.

Well the thing is if I don't run studs , then the trails get hard I will have cooling problems I think ice scratchers would help ? I have the rear heat exchanger, but it still makes me nervous. Also going with opta cool head gasket when I rebuild the engine.

I ran all weekend with a non studded track on my srx, trails were very hard/icy not much snow being kicked up to cool it, didn't have any problems with it over heating.

The 1.35" Cobra is fantastic for On / Off trail conditions!

Well I never have had the temp light come on ,but I don't like to push my luck lol . I hear that sx vipers and venoms run hot anyway, so I m considering the optacool head gasket what do you think ? Yes or no ? I think I m going with a cobra 1.635 track because every one loves it so much.

1.35 cobra for sure. I don't thing they make the 1.6 for a121. But I've been off my game a bit lately so worth a check.

They just make a 15x121x1.6x2.52 in an Ice Cobra.I don't thing they make the 1.6 for a121.
I saw the 1.6 Ice Cobra and figured they had a regular 1.6. My bust.

I ran the 1.22" ice ripper on my srx. It worked great and went thru deep powder. Won't a 1.6 track rub or do the vipers have more clearance? That 1.22 rubbed my protectors and I had to remove the front cooler protector.

You are correct. I should have added that in my previous.That 1.22 rubbed my protectors and I had to remove the front cooler protector.
