First off I'm sorry for posting so much lately but I have questions that need to be answered before snow hits and prices are cheap.
At the end of last season my track **** the bad for some reason it got chewed up from driving on little snow that was a little over 3 and a half inches but I will admit that was my fault it was fun while it lasted. So the question is what is the best 1.5 track that camoplast makes? I would also like a description why u think that, Lastly has any body ever studded a 1.5 track( show pics). Again I fell really bad for posting so much.

I like the look of the corbra, but I was looking at the 1.5 series by camoplast the 3 that caught my eye the most was the intense 1.5, ripsaw 1.5, and cross country 1.5 and the predator I like the paddle look on them has anybody had experience with the three I listed? I am positive that I want a 1.5 because I live near Ellicottville and we usually have on average a couple feet of snow on the ground. Can u stud a 1.5 track?

The 1.5" Camo Intense is the best all around track, end of discussion. In my opinion there is no reason to stud a 1.5" track, if you want to stud your track get a 1.25"

I knew somebody would say this, but when I had a 440 it had a 1.25 I did not like it because it did not suit my needs. That is why I like the 1.5 because I believe it will do the best job, Will the 1.5 make up for not putting studs I do not think that it will make up for it, but don't snocross racers stud their tracks with the required 96 studs. I would like to stud it because I like to have that option, Now my question is how it is to control on slick/icy snow.

This track hooks up damn near as good as a studded track on the trails. I own 3 of those tracks,2 are currently on sleds and they hold up very well.

-06 IQ R 600HO

That is a good thing The Intense is The one that caught my eye the most but can anybody tell me about the ripsaw because they make that in a 1.5 I am just a little curious about the ripsaw because a lot of people say they will never go to any thing else. It is surprising because at my school I am the only one that can actually not get stuck when there is powder on the ground it makes me feel like a mountain rider probably because that is where I belong most of the time because I'm the only person that has the bigger lug and prefers a 1.5 or bigger.

Another vote for the intense....1.5 rip is another great track. Ask yourself this question? Where do I ride the most? On trail...off trail...deep snow? If your answer is trail, don't waste your time with a 1.5 track. Cobra or 1.25 rip is your best bet. If you ride even 50% of the time off trail, the intese is the choice! Its a great all around track that holds up great!

Yeah basically I ride trails 40% of the time because I have 5 big fields that we own and they are located were my house is so I think I will buy the intense because I like powder more than trails

If you ever ride off trail stay the hell away from ripsaw tracks, unless you like trying to carve canyons in the snow.
As for what track I'd recommend to get, I'd rather run a 121x1.5 Intense than any stock 136 and most 144 tracks. I've seen what a 121 Intense can do in the hands of a professional, like on Rubi's stock 600.

I have one on my Fusion, 136" 1.5" Ripsaw, The Ripsaw track hooks up well on the trail, but spins like crazy off trail because it's not a paddle track. Save yourself some time and money and get the Intense instead.
I ride mostly off trail (with hard snow conditions for some of the winter) and do some drag racing, and will probably be switching tracks next season after I test this one on the strip.

I agree. I order an ice claw track from them on Monday and had it on Tuesday already. By far the best prices I have seen also
