Have you seen this? These babies look sweet but the link on this page doesn't seem to work yet. Over two grand cheaper than that other company sells them for. Sportsman Prospector Track System

The link is working now, no opinion on these? I'm surprised.

They are not "rebranded" anything. They are Polaris specific. They were designed specifically for the Sportsman.

Not really. The Polaris system is "snow only" and has hyfax like a sled. The frames are also made of composites. The front looks way different than the litefoot system, with its shape.

A hyfax is a strip of UHMW plastic that the clip of the track runs on. If you look closely at the pic they are the white strips near the bottom of the tracks. They provide better floatation in the snow and a better ride than just bogie wheels.

Also, the Polaris system has different gearing on the front and rear tracks to get the AWD to engage more of the time. The front sprocket has one more tooth than the rear.

I'd love to have a set of those, but I'd get a set with the bogies so I could cruise through the mud AND the snow. Plus, the main cog or gear or whatever is a lot smaller than a 25" tire, so it gives you a great torque increase.
