Video

Thanks

Do you have any videos showing side by side comparison with the same sleds? I noticed that all the videos test with different sleds. I own a 600, 900 and 900 turbo. None would be comparable in any test unstudded or studded. I have been getting strong opinions for and against from many.

I HAD TO REDO THE ENTIRE FRONT CURVE ON AN ANVIL THE RELOCATE AND ANGLE THE FRONT OF MY RUNNERS THE SENT ME. THE DID NOT MATCH THE DREAWINGS ON THE WEB SITE. THEY NEVER RESPONDED TO ME SO I FIXED THEM MYSELF. 8" DUALLY FOR A NORSEMAN X 8000.

Ice ripper!! No tearing,no tracks spitting out the back! No Heat exchanger or worse studs getting caught up i the rotating parts destroying whatever it touches!!

0:13 There is no snow.... you might wear out your carbides quickly if you do this.

After driving a sled with studs for so long drove older XC 700 without studs and I could say it felt dangerous

Can't say it's a scientific test but gives an idea. Also make sure you get the right amount of studs for your ride. Don't put 144 studs on a 488 fan... and don't put 96 studs on a 800. The former will struggle to make that extra weight turn and the latter will destroy itself. Studded my 600 triple in the 90's and the track tore itself; imagine my shock at full tilt on a river. A mechanic told me I didn't have enough studs and track was taking too much of a beating; studs were stretching the track and gave way. Like a bed of nails, better to have enough to cover a good surface so you don't hurt yourself; you would not lay on a bed of 1 nail. Was using 2 studs per rib in a V-pattern, should have been using at least 3 stud in a straight line and altering the alignment, like an old school track with cleats. Got a Storm 800 with 192x 1.5" studs.... yeah. The skid was lifted, using the simple, built-in brackets. #90sTriples

Studded tires work just as well on cars and trucks...........I've been running studded tires on my vehicles for 50 years and wouldn't be without them.

dont stud your track people, studs pull out then your track rips in half, or almost in half, or a stud ends up going through your heat exchanger. also it makes it so people like me will never buy your sled

3:19 so studs on your track help your front end hook up on ice?????????? more specifically 3:33

this looks good if you're living in nunavut with icey roads!

If you have a properly studded track and matching carbides, you’ll never go back. For me the main thing is stopping on ice.

2 studs up the middle. A a must on trail for icy corners

I'm up in the air with these ace or the trail blazer IV 🤔🤔🤔

Snowmobiles are also different today than back in the 90’s. 90’s sleds had you sitting on the seat instead of standing up all day. When this 600 took off on the ice it was spinning like a mofo with those little bit of studs while my triple all studded out would be gripping hard. I get that they are saying that you don’t have to have a track loaded for no reason but you don’t get nearly the same traction as you would with big numbers of studs.

1:45 not a fan of my dealer touching anything I own

IGRIPS.....

This is pretty good info, thank you. So definitely studs on sled. I need to add some to mine!

Studs are safer and makes easier stop

Just bought 96 woodys gold diggers!

What size stud did you use. I have the same machine and tires. Thanks.

Can I also remove track clips with the Woody's Track Clip Tool?

I didn't have studs on my 19 rush and that thing was a Ferrari in the corners. Fun sled. I might stud my 20 gade though, that thing is not a Ferrari in the corners. Does everything else much better though.

Should’ve added in an ice ripper track too

U would think they would have a modern video for the guys asking questions on the fb pages🤦‍♂️

Damage the exhaust..???

Picture said 60* times 90* carbide ??????????? Buying elsewhere.

Ok, so i have a 1999 ski doo mach 1 700 triple. Buying a new ripsaw camso track. 15 x 121,1.25 " lug. How many studs should i put in this? Carbide,im thinking slim jim 6".....your thoughts?!!!

boneheads!

In the icy corner you totally over exaggerated the non studded sled by leaning way into the corner and gassing it vs. not on the studded sled. Try being more realistic.

Great!

Go Levi LaVallee represent Minnesota!

Wow what a poor video. Take both sleds out in the real world and time them then cross the lake at 100 mph and find out what track blows up traveling at high speed. I do believe in control but in your video both riders would have hit the on coming sled in that corner.The ice in the corner will be gravel after 4 more sleds with studs go by lol .

Screw studs, use ice screws.

TheDrifter378 has made a comment on Snowmobile Studs and Runners Start-Steer-Stop: If you could do this test on a groomed trail it would make much much more sense. Riding plowed ice is what 3% of what you actually ride? You can reply to this comment by visiting the comments page. TheDrifter378

These Canadians seem to hate Rhubarb?

Prickly side eout.....lol!

Good video, shows whats not so obvious to many people. Thanks for sharing

Its snowtrax dude. They have no reason to do anything fishy.

Mabey studs are helpful on ice hills if you don't have the proper experience and skill. I don't use studs because A) I have no problem going up icey hills without them, and B) because i ride a lot of tar, groomed trails where studs are not permitted. Now, unless you never ride tar and are always riding hilly trails with LOADS of traffic ( To keep the trail conditions poor and snowless) then i would think about using studs.
