Ripsaw or Predator?

[boat.man]

I was going to order a Ripsaw for my 03 RX-1, but I have heard some conflicting reports about them. I want 1 1/4", 121" and am looking at the prepunched option. I ride 90% groomed trail-ice. Thanks for any input!

If you want it to hold up for any significant length of time and/or get any traction in the SNOW, definitely get a 9833.

I would definitely go with the predator as it is a much better all around track, don't forget to check this out if you want an extremely low price.

9833 is a good track

I just ordered a new 9833 to replace the one a had on for about 6000 miles.....I also see mixed reviews about the ripsaw.....9833 hooks up good but does take a few MPH off the top.......Its an easy fix though....next week I get my turbo put on....

How much for a 9873?

Everybody here is tearing up the RipSaw but I am going to make a comment here. My 136" 1.25" RipSaw track was excellent on hard packed snow and managed to find traction in hard packed snow where other tracks could not.

I replaced my RipSaw with a 9800C Intense track because I needed more loose and deeper snow traction, which is where the RipSaw lacked due to the "fingered" profile at the lug tips that helps so much for penetration in hard pack.

I'm sure I will miss the stable and planted feel of the RipSaw on hard pack.
