What is the difference between Kahtoola MICROspikes traction system listed here for $47.19-59.95 and Kahtoola Microspikes Updated for $10 more?

Update: I decided to talk with one of the guys in my hiking club before making the purchase, as he owns the older Kahtoolas. Initially we thought that the extra heel spikes weren't worth the extra money, since you lead & step off the ball of the foot, not the heel. Once on the snow & ice covered trails, however, we thought that the extra spikes could make a difference on some of the trickier descents, especially given my back issues. By the time I ordered the updated spikes on Dec. 19, the less expensive ones were temporarily not available in my size, so the price differential between the two styles became a moot issue. The vendor shipped them by priority mail, so they arrived on Christmas Eve. This was a plus, as I signed up for standard shipping, and did not expect my order that soon. I used my new Kahtoolas yesterday and am VERY pleased. No problems! At one point on the trail, many of my hiking cohorts sat on their backsides to slide down an icy rock. Using my trekking poles & new Kahtoolas, I stepped (albeit gingerly, because of my back) down the rock. My hiking buddies with Yak Trax do not have the stability or security that I experience with the Kahtoolas.

I was wondering that also. It appears that the updated microspikes have 4 spikes on the heel, whereas the older microspikes only have two spikes per heel. Check the pictures carefully to verify.

So far we have not had to replace the tires yet. seems they are holding up better than expected. But I did do some research before, below is the Link. they are about $20-$30 per set. http://www.razorama.com/razor-ground-force-drifter-parts-section.html

The problem here is that the entire web page was clearly written by someone with poor knowledge of English. There are two Delta cleats: red (for free rotation) and black (for fixed position). (Black Deltas will allow free rotation with a few specific models of Shimano-branded Looks from the mid-1990s, but these are very rare today.) There is no "true" or "one size." I don't know what will happen when you order this, since it is gibberish. I'd suggest buying it from someone who speaks a language other than gibberish, so you can tell what you're ordering. Just be sure you need the Delta cleat, not the newer Keo cleat for more recent models (they switched some time after 2005 or so). Most bike shops carry the red Delta cleats and the Keo cleats; black Delta cleats are not common, so you might need to order them online. But don't order from someone who bite the wax tadpole other so many differences become grapefruit. Get it?

The listed price for YSP30LU is approximately twice what I paid in January. In fact, I paid 50 less for the LU shovel than the USP30DU price. So I don't think there's a big difference in the shovels; it appears there's a temporary price spike.

Seriously? This place is asking $2382 for a single Tsi500 when their MSRP is only $399? Have two new units, will sell for $500 (pair). You pay shipping.

Greetings, I have a pair of 500 Honda Rubicons, I have the ITP mud lights on one and put these on the other. I ride in western Washington Olympic forest. Lots of wet trails including deep swamps. So far, these are outperforming the ITPs. Even in wet swampy grass, these have much better traction than the ITPs. Also I wanted traction to not tear up my soft wet dirt trails too bad. Again, I am very pleased. I think this is a good deal. I work hard and I play hard. No room to waste money. This was a good purchase. Hope this helps. :-)

I have no idea why the different prices. When I noticed the difference prices, I purchased a pair within the lower cost range. I wanted a pair of these shoes because of the good reviews I read on a garden website. Sorry, I do not recall the name of the website.

I got mine off of CL for $200. I didn't pull the trigger when addicted to Amazon got them. I was watching but missed them. The chair is pretty good, I just wish both of my 360 wheels hadn't broken on me.

The pictured trike looks like the one I purchased. I don't know about the price.

I've used both and much prefer the speed lacer. Yes it's easier to use but it also offers more stability, in my opinion. If its a question of spending the extra money I say do it. You will probably be pretty happy with it.

Try to look around your area, in skate shops or the mall. I found these for 15$ more in Zumiez.

Looks like it's available again (5 machines left at this writing). You can always order it at KNKUSA.com, and actually it is an updated version that I wish I had known was coming (it has 3 "treads" instead of 2).

Are they the exact same models? If so, they might just be trying to sell you the higher priced item by tricking you. If they are the same, go with the lower price. Good luck.

I'd swear that when I got the Ultra Pod II back in November that the "Digital" model was bigger and heavier. Now, even the Pedco website describes the 2 as identical, but the Digital is $3.00 more than the II. I just saw someone at Dpreview mention he had all "3" sizes. B&H describes the Digital as a "slightly modified" UltraPod II. I can't tell what the difference is and I have the UltraPod II.

Hi, not sure what the difference is exactly, but I must admit that I find this one much better than the previous one. It is lighter and more durable so I fully recommend getting 83 slow. Sorry I can't be more of help
