sure as heck depends on what kinda track. but the 200x is more of a trail trike if anything. I couldnt really see you flat tracking it or jumping it with out siginificant modifications.

It might jump alright. they are light. they weigh alot less than any quad.

I used to have one and it definitely does not jump good. The landings are harder than hell. I have seen some real idiots at my local track on trikes with no shocks, saw some kid jump a few in the air, came down and landed on his front tire, and it stayed on the front tire until the back end started to come out. The back tires finally hit the ground at almost completely sideways and sent both the kid and the trike flying.

trikes are pretty unstable and wouldnt make a decent track vhicle unless you got maybe like a +6 rear axle to keep it from gettin tipsy, as for jumping, you can try it but i wouldnt recommend it jus my 2 cents

Did you see the guy at the MX track jumping one in the Huevos video? Didn't look like something I need to try in the near future:-)

No, what we are saying is that you might get hurt if you take it to the MX track. Do you have MX experience on other machines?
