Anyone have the tracks?

Looking at buying new rzr with the track option. anyone have them "good or bad". Looking for something that can go anywhere in about any kind of weather condition yet something I can still ride around in instead of the srambler which this is replacing.
Thanks for any input. Just joined the site.

Re: Anyone hav the tracks?

I kind of doubt your area is much different from mine here just over the Pa border in NY. I can't imagine the tracks to be of much use around here except in the deep snow if your trails and riding area are well groomed and very wide. I suppose they would allow you great traction but what about the tight trails and added width.

The way I see it, you might get a month or two here to have them on but the rest of the year the RZR is pretty sure footed just as it is and the change over to and from tracks looks like quite an ordeal.

I would opt for a nice set of chains all around instaed and spend my $$ on the hard cab, wiper and heat.

I can tell you from experience the RZR with the sport hard top, full windshield and no cab or doors will give you a major lap full of snow and be a rather uncomfortable winter trail driver. I can go about 100 yards before I have to shovel out the inside and stop to clean the windshield. My ATV buddies have it all over me as they can just shake the snow off while I end up wearing it unless we are in the wide open areas or on a frozen lake.

Re: Anyone hav the tracks?

Well the RZR is in at dealer, just waiting to for tracks to come in. Changing from tracks to tires is about as quick as just changing wheels they claim. I have a Polaris 900 fusion that Ill be riding in the snow hopefully. I wanted the tracks for other reasons. I will be using this RZR also for a demo unit with other products that we manufacture and the tracks should give it some more stability and also slow it down. And I am hoping it will go good in the snow for one idea is it could do the same thing as an ATV and snowmobile. It will be a pretty cool deal when it is done. Ill post some pictures as they are built.

We set up 2 with tracks, one word [ sweet ] you do lose top speed, but you can go anywhere you point it. Rocks, waterfalls, mud, hills, if you can hold on ,let er rip. Cool ride.

Simple 20 min job, everything lines up and bolts on, the axle has almost no angle. Use a floor jack so you dont have to hold anything. They line right up and just slip them in. I cant find the pics we took of the install. But you wont have any trouble.
