It does everything better than the Rip 2 with studs. I'm not a speed demon but I did do a couple of WOT runs, one on a plowed county road and one a wide flat and straight section of trail. My top speed on the GPS was 119 and I'm sure it was on the county road but the trail WOT felt just as fast. I don't use my gauge speedometer as its for AFR and boost on the left side and RPM's on the right. The GPS shows speed but its pretty small letters, easy to see until you reach 100 and your helmet wants to get ripped off your head.For top speed, how is this comparing to a rip2 1.25 with studs?

Some good reports! Sounds like this track is a winner. I just ordered one myself. For top speed, how is this comparing to a rip2 1.25 with studs?
Put studs in any track and its going to rob away top speed, and the more studs the bigger loss of MPH as long as you have enough traction to run that speed say in packed snow. The least amount of weight you need to throw around, the least amount of studs to make track roll easier without interference the more MPH potential you will have if speed is important.
On the other hand, in a drag race for ET or getting there quick, good luck on a pre-studded track if you need the traction of a pure studded track.
I've run Ice Rippers before and they are fantastic on conditions you need better traction than a bare track, say on an icy hill or corner, but if looking for a drag race they wont work like a studded track. Lots of Canadians run for speed and I think this new track would be the hot ticket if you want this lug height.
