What track to purchase? - Snowmobile Forum: Your #1 Snowmobile Forum

I wound up buying the 99 mxz 670 HO now it is time to replace the track. It has a 1 1/2 paddle that is studded on it now that is junk. When i put the new one on i will NOT be studding it. The riding i do is mostly ditches and alittle bit of groomed (not great) trails. Dont know if i need to go to a paddle or something alittle less aggressive. I am trying to save money on this one. Do i want or need a paddle, open window,or what? What are some suggestions and why? Anyone have something for sale reasonable. I am a Drag specialties and Parts unlimited dealer so i have access for a good price new, but i would rather go the cheap way out.

go with 1.25" good all around track. rip saw's are great!

^^ for the riding you are doing, I second that motion

I also agree. The 1.25 Ripsaw would be a great choice. It is great in almost any condition. Will hook up really well on the trails too. I plan on getting the Camoplast Ice Ripper Track next year for my Fusion 600. That is a 1.25 Ripsaw with 285 studs preset inside the lugs. Good luck with your decision and Think SNOW!!!!!!!

inch or inch and a quarter will be just fine for that type of riding.

Got a ripsaw on my XF700 from the factory and it's working great. I've heard it's not good for mountain powder, which is understandable being only 1.25", but I (and from the sounds of it, you too) don't need that kind of climbing power. It works great and has good manners while driving.
