  • I think I jumped the gun putting the 137 on in March. This is a super fun setup but only for late-season spring snow

    I really like that you show all the work put in before making the wheelie hopover or whatever. It would be so easy to just edit and show immidiate success. Keep it up!

    I've always kind of wondered why no one took newer sleds in the 130 track length range into the mountains because there was a time when 136 was the longest track you could get

    Guy makes it up the mountain on a 137, I get stuck on the trail with a 155. Its the rider, not the sled. Get after it Caleb.

    Back in the day we had no choice but to ride short tracks under 136 in the mountains weighing nearly 700# full of fuel. Back than you had to pick your lines to be successful

    Awesome man. I got a couple questions though. Do you prefer the 155 2.75” for most things? Also where was this? And was it this year? Also your sled is a 2023 9r Khaos right? Also what Go-Pro do you use? Sorry for so many questions lol. You are so skilled it is amazing to watch!!

    Do you remove foam from side panels and hood on matryx for weight loss?

      Yes I remove it. Not for weight loss but because it holds water and ice and drips onto your clutches

      Greetings from Norway@@CalebKesterke , amazing riding and what an inspiration you are. I'm wondering if the track has 3 inch lugs? 🙂 If so, you think 2,5'' or 2,6'' will take you places like the 3''?
      Edit; watched the video now which I should've done before commenting. Anyways- thank you!

    That is gearing it down brotha

    • @CalebKesterke
      @CalebKesterke  9 місяців тому +3

      The bigger the driver the higher the gear ratio. Putting 8 tooth drivers on instead of 7 tooth gears it “up.” The drivers are not equivalent to a dirt bike rear sprocket which is probably what you are thinking of

    • @jakeowens1770
      @jakeowens1770 9 місяців тому +1

      Not to be mistaken from driven mechanical gears,,, mechanical advantage increases if you decrease the size of the front sprocket or increase the size of the rear sprocket. For bikes jeeps and snowmobiles are the same

    • @CalebKesterke
      @CalebKesterke  9 місяців тому +1

      @@jakeowens1770 That’s not how it works on sleds. Larger driver = higher gear ratio and more potential track speed. A 137 geared down wouldn’t work with a QD2 and stock clutching. This video wouldn’t even exist because my sled would’ve ran so bad.
