POLL: What Skis are you running?

[Roost 'Er]

Some great input, everyone viewing please fill out the poll interesting results so far !

I voted Arctic Cat skis. I am running 2016 Viper MTX skis with semi-agressive snow trackers. I did not need to ride the Tuners. A buddy has Tuner IIs on his '13 Apex SE and I know they push hard. Mainly I want floatation and snow trackers and the Tuner III keel design makes no sense to me. I have heard the new '17 MTX ski works well and that would be cheap but I doubt you can find them unless a takeoff. If I wasn't trying to be cheap I probably would have ordered white Curves.

Are the semi aggressive enough? I am thinking the C&A Pro Crossovers with snow trackers. I like the lower profile of the semi aggressive but wonder if enough. The Aggressive on my 08 Apex were amazing.

I really can't say yet. Not enough riding but steering is precise not heavy at all. Main concern so far would be understeer or pushing in soft snow.

It says your on a LTX-SE. If possible could you PM me or post where you have your shocks set at.. Like all four of them. What setting on the spring blocks in back? I have SLT skis/w 7.5 shapers and 192 studs and could barely turn the handle bars

Thanks

I took my blocks out I turned my front shocks loosened them all the way and then gave them two clicks. I'm going to also tighten my center shock about 3/4 of a inch and see if that takes some ski pressure off the front. I also set my torsion blocks on medium. It whole different sled major difference with the Mohawks way better.

stk. bolts ,stk. rubbers ,grind a little off the front and back of the stk. rubber ,with a grinder ,a little. on the bottom of the stk rubber grind them so they''re flat as you''ll see on the outside of them there's alittle extra rubber .After you have the bottom of the rubber flat grand a little notch in the center on the out sides so it fits over the little plastic thing sticking up in the ski .use 6" shapers in the middle and 4" round bars outside .Enjoy ,it will make the front feel like a 2 stk.now.you also need to remove the bushing in the ski and put them back in from the outside .

Rear Torsions on 1, Rear shock 1, Transfer blocks out, Mid shock spring tightened up, ( Cant remember measurement) Compression ON 2, Sled is railing in corners now. Light ski pressure, ride is awesome!
