I just got my 1.5 ripsaw from tracks usa. Plan to put it in sometime. Maybe this summer. Just feel like riding for now. Anyone else riding with one? What do you think? I alson have some shocks comming. Fox. Should improve the adrenelin package.

I quess you don't like that stock 1"track either . I cannot get mine to hookup at all . Touch the throttle and sit and wait ! even at 40mph touch the thumb and speedo moves but sled don't . Digs real good for trenching . A few buds got x packages and the 1.25" hooks better , but I'm sure the 1.5" would work great . I would like to know about ride quality with those big lugs .

I'm sure the "ride" quality on icy trails will be sub-par. But under any other conditions the machine should really shovel the snow. I have a 1 and 3/8 on my f7. The ride quality is awsome. I don't think an 1/8 inch will make much of a difference. The track will go on in the summer with some fox shocks.

I had one on my rev 800 and it rocked. It handled awesome anywhere i went. Lakes, trails or wherever it was the best

I have one on my 06 800x and I love it. It came with the 1.25" but I didn't like that track. It didn't go off trail well. This 1.5" does way better off trail. You will definately love it. I am comtemplating about putting one on my wife's TNT. That stock 1" ripsaw is terrible

Would a 1.75" track do better then the 1.5"? Or would it suck on the trails?

I've got an 09 etech with 1.75 snowcross track and it rocks. Takes some time to get used to that much track but I think it works great on the trails. Need good snow, not good in real low snow conditions or ice. I always wanted to try the 1.5 intense. Heard that was a great track on/off trail. You will lose some top end if that's important to you. For me the wholeshot makes up for it!! Top speed about 90 with my setup.
