Good day. Out riding on trail in heavy wet fresh snow. Track sure seemed to take up a lot of hp. Another older 175 with lighter paddles did not seem to dragged down as much. Was a great ride not another sled in site. Lots of slides down. Be safe

Im confused on the lighter paddle comment??? Did the sled have the factory track, was it the same model sled.

Only way to have lighters paddles is have shorter lugs.


Fully clipping any track, reduces the rolling resistance, so the track can be run looser.

Good day. Take a look at 2019 175 end of lug is a lot thinner and it bents over. Look a 2021 175 end of lug is at least 3/8 thick dose not bend.

Your going to have to share pics. I owned a 19, bought a 2020.5 turbo take off track thinking it was a HD track like I was told, which it was not, same P/N. My 2021 track looks the same. Id like to see what you noticed.

Good day. The end of track that would be in contact with floor on the 19 it is only about 3/16. On new one it’s about 3/8 thick. Hope this helps.
