+5 by GPS?1" fully clipped 2.52 hacksaw non-quiet +5mph vs stock 1.25 Ripsaw. I like it better in most conditions and glad I switched.

yes on my phone. D&D told me about the advantages of the 2.52 years ago as well as the lower lug. Definitely hurts the hole shot though+5 by GPS?

I run 216 (4 per bar) fastrac stainless with plastic backers and aluminum nuts (super light, durable, and no rust ever) for strictly trail running. Not looking to be fastest on the lake or win drags. Just gool 'ol high speed UP running...

I never would have thought this but after seeing it on some sled runs @ bents im convinced. Not sure I would go this route for every day trail riding but. Lesser amount of studs that are longer for better hook and better top end with LESS rotating mass.. Going to give this theory a tryShort lug, long studs works well for hardpack. Look at the holeshot @Trailleader gets with his track/stud set-up. I can't say it's the most trail friendly, but it works.

The angled backers are an advantage as well. Tough to beat a holeshot in a short distance.I never would have thought this but after seeing it on some sled runs @ bents im convinced.

Have 2 in double backer every other row in mine. Yea they wear worse than the triggers but they aren’t as bad as you would imagine. And after a horrific season and a half in upstate ny I think they did well. All 1.63” in 1.25 trackchisels wont make it but a few miles on the trails.. Assuming your saying race day on the lake?

My riding buddy has that exact track on his 17RTX-LE (129"). He's had it on for 2 seasons now and it is a RipII with a 1" lug.This is the ad. It appears to be a rip2 fully clipped.

I thought this was what yamacat had put on some of their SRX's?
