The Ice Arrowhead is pricey but it you price out a 2 ply 1.25 Ripsaw II track and 96 studs it’s about the same.      I found the Arrowhead for $1350 + tax shipped to my door and my buddy is buying my take off 1.5 Ice Ripper for $800 so it’s not terrible.   

Those arrowhead tracks look great but man are they pricey!  Personally i've been on a ice ripper since switching to skidoo and i miss having a studded track. For some reason i still cant switch my riding style. Still riding thru corners like i got studs. Tried a 850 comp last year that was studded and it just hooked up plain and simple. Keep us informed on the ice arrowhead please. 

I also just did a bit reading on this one - seems like a really nice track.  it’s a 2 ply which I guess explains its stiffness.  1.3” height is a nice compromise between the 1.25 and 1.5 crowd too.  wonder if they’ll make it onto factory sleds in a bit, doubt it is yet.   

Did it have over 6000 miles on track with studs when that happened? 

Sorry but no studs for me. I prefer 146" with 2.5" paddle and north of Sudbury and North Bay. I avoid the Muskoka's like the plague. Too many idiots, too snarly and too many rocks and lakes. Lots of crown land, logging roads and power lines in the north.
