I don't have any problem with traction or ratcheting with the ripsaw and would not be worth losing that much top end speed. More than likely would pass on the Cobra from what I am hearing.
What don't you like about the cobra track , its the best track i ever ran on a sled being 37 lbs and fully clipped , the ripsaw was the worst track ever with every third window closed
Track doesn't work for me on the trails, less than 1000 miles and the lugs were torn and had pulled out studs. My current Ripsaw has 7100 miles with no torn lugs or any pull outs. I'm putting a new Ripsaw in this summer.
From the camso site it states that the Cobra is a softer durometer. Are these lugs bending to the extreme that there is that much speed loss? I personally don't understand how a track of less rotating mass (by 4-7 Lbs of studs) can be slower on top.
Read the last thing said less rotating mass. the cobra track doesn't slow your sled down it increases your speed by 5-10 mph , i cant understand why there are claims of slower top speed ,are we talking about the same track 121" x 1.38" fully clipped at 37 lbs this track is outstanding and hooks up in every condition i would highly recommend it as far as ripsaw goes that was the worst track ever put on yamaha
Tube, I'm not disagreeing with you. I'm just trying to understand why so many people are claiming speed loss with the cobra. It is well documented here, just do a quick search.
Fatchance i totally agree with you , maybee its the type and amount of studs there using adding more weight will definatley slow you down all i can say is i have 2000 miles on mine so far with absolutly no signs of wear or torn lugs for $500 you can't beat it, off topic what do you think of the talon tracks they seem comparable to the cobra but lighter, thinking of putting one on my old poo for $399
