Track life expectancy

[Redbeard]

I installed a Ripsaw II on my Apex last year and I'm very satisfied with it. The hook-up is better than the original Ripsaw.

Did you go with fully clipped or every third? Not sure which way to go.

My track is full clip. I've had improved hyfax wear with a full clip track.

when replacing, full clip is better on slider wear by far.

if you are planning on studding it, then a ripsaw II is fine. without studs it tends to let the rear of the sled become loose again like an old straight bar track if you have good skis. brother has one on my old 05 war and had to quit running his mountain skis because of the rear wag. running a set of stock 2013 rs venture skis on it atm without studs and they match each other well on-trail. off trail, the skis suck.

we prefer the 2ply ripsaw as our area is bad for hidden rocks/debris and they last longer for us.

i have 28000 km on my stock ripsaw,not one lug is damaged,it basically looks like new beleive it or not,a bit of cord showing on the sides but beside that,theyres nothing wrong with it,i do have a vibration at around 95 kmhour and goes away at higher speeds,wondering if its my track causing this cuz of the high miles

Vibration might be a flat spot on the belt
