Default Tracks on ATV

Could anyone tell me if they ever tried tracks on a kodiak or a grizzly 450.
I am looking at the litefoot or the exgen from tatou.

Do you think the 450 will be powerfull enough?

Thanks, Mike

if it's liquid cooled then it should be powerful enough.

Honda foremans which are 475cc air cooled engines work decently with tracks- however, the honda foreman doesnt have cvt- its a push button shifter

I have tracks on a 660 grizz and I have alot of power, i've heard of tracks that don't affect your top end as much.

we rode with a guy who had tracks on his honda 500. to tell you the truth, i wouldn't spend the $$$$ to put this on my atv.
1-it robs power
2-it decreases the atv's total speed( low and top end) so if you live in "bear" country...
3-did not go through anything that a wheeled atv couldn't/didn't
4-better ways to spend (my) $$$$
5-this kit would be better suited for a 1200 cc or larger machine

Strocker sounds like the guy needs more riding education ,
and how would it rob your low end speed ?
