predator or ripsaw 1.25


I have an 1-1/4" predator and I love it. Hooks up really well on ditch or trail conditions. With 150+ horsepower going to the track it takes it all.

which is better and reliable
 
Omg I love my predator. thanks 2000 srx! I broke open some trails this weekend never been through that deep of snow and not goten stuck. It was perfect in the gromed trails as well.
 
If i had the choice i would go predator. Very similar on trails but the predator will smoke it off trail. Predator probably has a hair better top speed to being a little more open in the center.
 
Ive got a 1.25" Ripsaw on my Polaris and it howls like crazy. I also read a few threads on the 4-stroke side of TY where people who do lots of WOT lake riding delaminated their Ripsaws.
I think Id actually go with a 1" Hacksaw over either a Predator or Ripsaw...
 
track

Well guys i got the Preditor 1inch with 192 studs and i have 3600 miles on it and it is starting to let go at the begining of the year i looked at the track all was good then 2 weeks ago i noticed a stud pulled out so i brought it into the garage because i was going to use the torch to melt around the hole to make it last the year and noticed about 7 studs pulled out, serveral luggs are torn off, and i thought this track would have held up a little bit better. Right now i'm leaning towards a hacksaw or a speed track for drag racing and buy a new 4 stroke
 
I just installed a 1.25 ripsaw and I have about 300 miles on it and I love it. I used to have a kimpex aggressor with a 192 studs in it and if I am not on ice I think the ripsaw hooks up just as well. The rear of my sled stays put!!! I have noticed a little top speed that has been snubbed of, but only a couple mph. It sure makes a difference in the powder. Just my 2 cents.
 
I have had both tracks on sleds. 1.25 predator on RX1 and the 1.25 ripsaw on my Attak. They are both good tracks, but I prefer the ripsaw. The ripsaw also wears a lot better then the predator did. I have over 3000 miles on the ripsaw and it still looks like new
 
I was thinking of gettin either of these tracks for my 99 srx 700- I am thinking of running a few studs- just to help out on the icy corners. Im not sure if the 1.25 track and studs will fit. Would I be better off with a 1" track and installing studs in it or would i be better off with a non studded 1.25 track?
 
I also have both tracks,The Rip Saw out performs the predator all around except top end speed on hard packed.In deeper snow the rip saw is better, hooks up very well.
 
i was going to install the predator i had out of my parts viper but i sold it tonight for $220 with 96 studs but one pulled through to a local guy so i'll never know if it was good or not until he installs it and tells me
 
I had 7200 miles on my predator 9818 and it was still running. Didnt want to take a chance on another season. Just changed to a fully clipped predator so could run extroverts.

im going to guess they were not woodys gold series.

predator for speed and studding

ripsaw for non studded sleds
