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.

I want to say it is 40000 but may be more. I have them and they are great on my dodge. I find it very hard to lose traction on any surface.

I am not exactly sure the difference between the two since I only have the K3 and K1. I think the difference might be the amount of ball bearing. K2 has 3 K3 has 4. K1 is the newer one but shorter. They are GREAT!

I used them for shoveling and they lasted a whopping 4 uses on a steep incline. I have since purchased microspikes and the difference is huge.

Have to agree with the others here; different suppliers. The $85 price is sold/shipped by Amazon, the other is an RV outlet. Amazon is not always the lower price, but usually is. They are the same kit, come in the pkg pictured with the $133 item and the quality is great. Easy install and functional.

I would skip the micro. The only real difference is that the brake on the micro is made of plastic. It's much more durable on this one. My son was three when he got this and did wonderfully on this one. Two years later it's still his favorite thing to ride.

I have this bike on order and spoke to a sales rep for Prodeco before purchasing and asked him the same question. He said they're available from them for $22 ($12 + $10/shipping). You might want to call Prodeco and confirm this. Sounds reasonable to me.

Not sure what the difference is but Toyota does specifically list the for the Trail Edition only.

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.

Nita, I would be cautious in purchasing these since, of the different versions, from different companies, I purchased, these were the only ones that would not stay on my shoes (toe doesn't have anything securing it) Stablicer run cleats are bolts and quite heavy, but the Stablicer with the little nubs on the bottom got me through last icy winter without failing and no slipping. Original Yaktrax are a good product for occasional use, but the rubber you are running/walking on will fail with much use (same for the heel area of these you are considering). Stablicer Run are excellent, but a handful of bolts-weight on each shoe! (I get the mail with them, only) Nita, I would be cautious in purchasing these since, of the different versions, from different companies, I purchased, these were the only ones that would not stay on my shoes (toe doesn't have anything securing it) Stablicer run cleats are bolts and quite heavy, but the Stablicer with the little nubs on the bottom got me through last icy winter without failing and no slipping.

Not sure but the only thing that could be different is that they say it has brakes, whereas the older ones don't. Quite frankly you don't need brakes as the inherent drag stops them very quickly once you take your foot off the "gas" pedal. Marketing ploy so they can charge more IMHO.

it doesn't normally cost anywhere close. It's $149.99 direct from buttkicker or $129 at other outlets. Those prices are for the version 2 which fixed an issue with the power amp overheating on the version 1 (this one makes no reference to version so one must assume he is selling the first version). Some goofballs price items this way so they can make people feel that they are getting a deal by posting the amazon link and then asking $300 or some funky number.

Bought from a "Used/Like New" seller and, while the tread looks the same, and they included a Schwinn box, the tire was an Innova without kevlar. So I'd avoid the Used offers.

When I do a search for Nubax Trio Back Pain Reliever and Nubax Trio Back Traction, the same image of the piece of equipment I purchased, comes up and it is also the same price which is typically $299, not on sale. Researching further, I see there is an Amazon listing for the item listed as JINV7000 Nubax Trio Back Traction "ON SALE" for $299 usually $388.70 which is the same thing, but in the image, it appears to be put together incorrectly at the handlebars. Personally, I would not buy from that listing with all the problems with the details of the listing. $299 is not the "ON SALE" price, and at this site http://www.rehabmart.com.sg/shop/traction/nubax-trio-jinv7000/55-510 it is actually a whopping $600!!! It is the same exact piece of equipment, it is called Nubax Trio. I'm not sure what the JINV7000 is. Now, here is the good news... After doing all this research, I did actually find it on sale for $205.04, about $94 less than I paid for it, at this link on Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/Nubax-Trio-Back-Pain-Reliever/dp/B002P4BVN4/ref=pd_sim_sbs_hpc_1 which is a 31% savings and totally worth it! I hope this helps.

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

Hey Tim, The upgrade is about $60. I'd suggest trying the trike as is for now, that's a very easy thing to upgrade if you feel you need it in the future.
