I am extending my apex track from a 121'' to a 136'' . The problem I have is I want the ripsaw 2 with a 1.5 inch lug. but it only comes in a 2.86 pitch and I need a 2.52 pitch. the only tracks I see that are a 136'' 1.5 lug with a 2.52 pitch is the camoplast intense and the talon 38 which is a russion track I never heard of. any ideas on what to do or what track I should run and what is my best option thanks for the help. Anyone ever use the talon tracks?

Change the drivers to a 2.86 pitch driver...

was thinking that also but I want that as a last resort as I hear the 2.86 drive tracks have less lug per track and are only 1 ply and don't last as long.
I have a 1.25 ripsaw on now, new last year and I tore it to pieces.so I am looking for a track that is a bit tougher and will hold up. and yes no clue how I can eat up a new ripsaw track in 1 season.i had a ripsaw on my 800 and it was perfect this one not so much... must be all that apex power. but will probably have to go this route in the end. thanks for your input.

I would take the intense over any 2.86" lug track. The longer pitches were marketed as trading durability for a weight savings.

yes was talking to a guy who has the intense and he really really likes it.

I just did this exact same conversion. I put the Intense in mine. I posted a picture for you on your other thread.....extended 121"-136" and went with the Intense cause of everything I read. Wanted good trail but wanted to be able to go off the trail a little without feeling like I was screwed!
