i am using 9818 on my 02 viper and a ripsaw on my 04 viper. I think the 9818 is alot more durable but the ripsaw has a better grip. if you boondock alot get the 9818. just my thought

I have run camo predators on several sleds, and really feel they are the best. I forget all the facts and figures, but it is almost 10 lbs lighter than a Y stock track, (less rotate mass -ya!) and much more durable. Lastly the hook up is super.

how much are you going to spend on the rip-saw? i was thinking that track would be the better choice....
will i lose top end going to the 1.25" track? versus staying with a 1"?
what about studs?
any opinions out there....thanks CP

I'm currently running a 9837 on my Viper, 1" Predator, fully clipped. I trail ride in Northern Ontario. I'm very pleased with this track, no loss of top end, good fuel economy, corners great on groomed trails, night and day difference over stock track. It's a couple of pounds heavier than the stock Viper track.
The Predators are great tracks, 1" or 1.25, 3rd window closed or fully clipped. The RipSaw is also a great track. If you're strictly trail riding I'd lean towards the 1" Predator or the RipSaw. If you do a little more powder riding then go with the 1.25 Predator. You won't be disappointed with any of them.

thanks for all the replies....Ripsaw vs. Predator
has anyone raced similar sleds with the two different tracks...hook-up, top speed, trail, powder comparisons??
just narrowing down the decision...CP
