Backcountry track owners

I can defenetly say that the lugs on my Backcountry 1.75 is alot softer than any BRP, POL or AC snowcross track.

I do not know if I would say a lot softer, but I do agree that the BackCountry lugs lack some of the bending stiffness offered by the most recent snocross tracks.
The 9067 track has been around for at least two seasons, but I seem to remember it was never called BackCountry...?
 

Just recieved my BackCountry track and when comparing it to my 06 F7 snopro the stiffness of the lugs are as stiff if not stiffer, I am stoked for this track since it shares alot of the same features my 1.375 F7 track has and I LOVED that track. With some Avis drivers, the larger SlyDog wheels, Pace clips, and ice scratchers I am thinking hifax wear should be ok. ;)! ;)! ;)!

I used a BackCountry 1.75"x121" all season (4875 kilometers). Approximately 75% of this was soft, rough trails and the remaining 25% was off trail. This track caused me no more hyfax issues than any other track. In fact, the first set of hyfax last close to 4000 kilometers, even though I was not using all of the idler wheels...
 
Stopdropanroll,

I have a 136 srx with the arctic 1.375...love that track. I would have bought it for my XTX if it was available. I had Avids in the garage but sent them back because I didn't feel like cutting the tips of the rails. If my memory serves me correctly the tips of the rails will need to be cut back about 1/8" on the XTX. The drivers will hit the tips otherwise.

Not to argue with anybody here, but I think that the lugs on this track would sooner break off at the base rather than fold over for most people.

I too am looking forward to getting some miles on this track, looks to be a great all around track.
 
If any one is looking to get a backcountry 144 i have one that's brand new I want $500 and ill take care of shipping in the continental us. Pm if interested.
 
I did some research and found that i dont have the latest version of the backcountry.

I have the one in the lower picture. Seems like we havent been talking about the same track. No wonder there are diffrent oppinions

Where In Michigan do you live? I might take that off your hands if you still have it.

Mine looks like the one in the bottom picture as well, its the yamaha accessory track for the xtx. I only paid $400 for it. It would seem to me this track looks stiffer than the one in the top pick since it has support on both sides of the lug. Like mentioned above it seems to be as stiff as my old firecat track. Anyone know why some of these tracks are slightly different?
 
Please note that the Back Country tracks have got new part numbers for this season (Camoplast part number 9140C-9143C, depending on length). The new part numbers are supposed to be based on the single ply technology and the old part numbers are discontinued and no longer available from Camoplast.
I received my 9142C (15"x136") couple of weeks ago. Compared to the old part numbers, I can not say that I noticed about any difference in thickness. Maybe the old part numbers were also single ply constructions...? Or, maybe the single ply construction is no different thickness...?
Furthermore - compared to the old part numbers - the base of the lugs and the "lug stiffeners" looks thicker, the outer lugs are chamfered (see picture) and all of the clips are the non-holed model.
