Not for sure, but it appears to be a Camso/Camoplast?

come on Ski-Doo boys....do you know your sleds or not?....LOL...this GT model looks to be a 2 upper, or has a seat add on? ...not sure if this track is exclusive to this model, or was maybe put on aftermarket. Listed as a 25 miles used sled....maybe the guy traded it because it wouldn't turn....LOL....2 up sidehiller deluxe????....LOL

You have to admit that is an interesting looking track design and spurs a big question on cornering ability.
I guess not enough of you Doo guys bought the product to give a first hand answer.

I haven’t purchased a GT in 21 years don’t know many who performance ride 2ups or care if they corner like slot cars. 2up market is more interested in creature comforts for a pleasant riding experience for wifey.

Many still like the high performance 2 ups as a versatile sled for when friends, kids or grandkids come along. And when riding solo you can still poor the beans to her. The wifey hits triple digits on her Apex on a regular basis. That huge trunk and heated seat along with the big windy is icing on that 150HP Turbo cake, which I assume will also hit hundo mark on the dream meter. Definately a sled , or "sled type" I'd consider having in the future.
If you have been watching the market, the mannies have been putting out more performance oriented 2 up sleds in the past 5-10 years.
The ace 900 T is a perfect example and I think Doo has had there 160hp 800 etech in a 2 upper for a number of years.
Polaris Titan is another along with the 177 HP Cat Pantera and longtoothed 130 HP Yamaha Venture.
I guess I'll just have to assume that this track was thoroughly tested and corners just fine....LOL

At this point in life I only have 1 Bud that takes his wife out on a screaming 2 up and he would want the 900t coming off a Venture eps machine. His Wife likes the comfort of the GT seat over the Venture. We respect the heck of women that ride with their hubbies but few and far between. When we encounter women at pit stops we throughly compliment them encourage the heck of them to continue with the sport.

My wife rides with me at times and we took a non-turbo gran touring for a test ride year or so ago and she loved the seat compared to the Yamaha Venture GT which we currently have. Once I rode WD's 2019 enduro 900 turbo this past season my desire to sell my Venture GT for the Grand touring moved up several notches. Motor, rear suspension, seat position (plus being heated for my wife) all are reasons why I may buy a 2020. Besides being my go to 2up...and as snobuilder said, it would be an excellent backup sled for visiting family or friends to ride if they didn't have one of their own.
