Yes. Rip 1 has a more aggressive lug, almost saw-tooth looking. It's the original, and famous for better forward bite. Came on all the 90's & early 2000 ZR800 & 900.
I was told Cat tested the Rip1 on the 998 ProCross chassis just before it came out in 2017. Test riders fell it was "too aggressive" and would have required better ski carbides to balance out so they decided to invent the Rip2 instead. Rip1 are tough, durable aggressive Camso tracks. I need all the forward bite I can get with my mod-stock turbo Stage 4 tune. Lol.

Been running a 1” ripsaw2 on my viper last few years and really missed 1.25 at first coming out of corners especially. Always spun anyway when drag racing buddies in snow anyway due to trail studding so not much difference there anyway. Ice it’s better. Top speed is better. Studs never break off since shorter unless I do something stupid. Slide and track wear is much better. I will have over 10000 miles on this one. Previously both 1.25’s needed replacing around 8000 mi. Tough call.
