I don't think there is enough room up front heat exchanger. Had one on the wifes sled w/out studs. Had to remove heat exchanger protectors.

I say the track will fit if you remove protectors but studs would then hit exchanger. There is a recent write up on this I am not sure if it was an 10 or older or not.

you should have a 1.25 track on there now jack it up and see how much room is left before the front exchanger is in the way.

I went through this question when putting a 1 1/2" intense on my apex..... track fits but studding ...no. plus if studding a 1 1/2 track the studs are getting way tall and tend to be prone to "lay over" and not penetrate and subject to tear outs.....

I've been running a 1.5 track for 6 years with no issues with tunnel or front exchanger issues. If you haven't run a 1.5 track before your in for a pleasant surprise even with no studs.

I have a 1.5 intense track on mine and love it. No room for studs, I went from a 121 JUNK (ripsaw) with studs to a 136 intense 1.5 with out studs. Massive difference, the intense hooks way better then the old track ever thought about.

So what is the most aggressive track I can put on for deeper snow? I would be looking for a 121 with no studs

Have a 1-1/2" intense on my apex 121... no studs and love it. I ride in almost all loose and deeper snow and can feel the performance gain even to a point of doing some slight clutching adjustments because of the better track.

Did you have to do any modifications to put that track in ? We get about 3 ft of snow here in the ditches and I found with the stock studded track it got stuck all the time which sucked!
