which ones do you guys prefer for trail and off trail powder. i currently have a 121" ripsaw and like it, but i am stretching the viper to 136" and need a new track. i ride in the u.p. and go off trail as much as i can. i would like to focus on deep powder, i dont think either one will have any problem on trail. both 1.25" lugs. thanks
 

personally, I dont care for my 136 ripsaw when it comes to off trail riding. It just dont work very well in soft/deep snow. I would go with the 6 pitch. Or a 2" paddle ;) ===SRXSRULE===
 
i really shouldnt go any bigger than a 1.25" because i might stud it. i always run into an icy patch in the middle of corners and cross lakes every year. maybe 1.375? how will hifax wear with that? i also need it fully clipped for extroverts. narrows my choices a bit.
 
hifax isnt much of a problem untill you get over 1.5". If your buying a new track and new drivers, I would think about a 3.0 pitch, the track is lighter plus the 3.0 pitch extros run smoother. ===SRXSRULE===
 
i have a 136 ripsaw on my viper and it isnt bad in the powder, but on trail it is wonderful. for a multi purpose track , i think it fits the bill..... if you dont plan to stud, i would go with the ripsaw
 
I'm not really impressed with my Ripsaw "off-trail" I think my stock .92 yoko track did just as well off trail (just seems to dig instead of float). Its the BEST track I've ever used non-studed for trail riding though.
