Both are great tracks but I think you would be very happy with the 121 cobra. The Cobra is better in loose snow if that's the main factor. If you have had a ripsaw before I would try the cobra or vice versa that way you will know what you want and like. I like to try something different that way I know. I have a fusion as well and I 'm going to try the Ice Ripper XT when it is time to replace. I would just pull the trigger and give it a shot.

Ripsaw is garbage in the deep stuff. Ask me how I know
That can happen with any track on a heavy sled like that! It's all about momentum man!
We've done well with a ripsaw and a cobra. Better on a cobra

that looks like user error to me.
but yeah rip saws suck on anything but trails then they are great but I vote for the cobra
as far as ice build up you could always pack a rubber hammer in the back pack lol

Why does everybody keep saying that?
I couldn't get no momentum, I was trying to turn around in the woods after running out of logging road. No 121" ripsaw would've made this turn around. It was 60 degrees this day and that makes for great riding without getting stuck NOT!

I think you're finding so many used ripsaws because people are replacing them with something else.

I would have to agree with the above comments regarding the ripsaw off trail (deep snow). My personal experience with that style off trail was less than stellar. Crossfires came with that track, yes it works, but it does not work as well as others off the beaten path. I replaced that track the next season with a 1.65" which I cannot recall what model, it was much better. I have since upgraded to a 2" Challenger, world of difference. I also went from 136 to 144" & I won't go any less than that. If you are going to take that 121 to 136, you won't be sorry. Huge difference all around.-Mezz

I found this Cobra track for sale fairly cheap. Supposedly all the damage is shown and it doesn't have many miles on it. Would you buy a track that looks like this for the right price? I'm thinking I should probably hold off for something in better condition, but I thought I'd ask all the experts.

Looks pretty much trashed imo...
Thanks for the input. I'm thinking that myself the more I look at it.
