07 apex skid replacement??

[Rich Kay]

If you guys were to want to replace the stock Proactive skid with any other kind of skid , aftermarket or another OEM skid of any kind (thats been proven to work) what would you guys think? I also don't want to start a great debate either! I ride in all conditions from groomed to trashed out weekend trails ,121 length, 1 1/4" lug height are the plans.
Thanks Rich Kay.

If it were a long track I would go with a EZ Ride skid. But for a short track I would go with a something from AC.

Do you know of someone by chance that has done an AC skid and which particular AC skid was used? I have heard of the cat skid being a choice in this sled (07 apex RTX) . The most important thing is to know proper mounting locations for the geometry of the AC (or any other) skid. I would be of course looking for the more "performance" skid that would have rebuildable shocks for tuning.
Thanks Rich.

Do a search under "skid and swap" in this forum. Some may be helpful.

For trails, I happen to like the Mono skid a lot, but that's after making quite a few improvements for a more performance minded and confidence inspiring ride. Stock is a great bump absorbing skis bc stock the skid rides like a cushy Cadillac suspension. But after recalibrating the shock it performs great. But I think the favorite after market skids are ZX2 and Expert X from Ad Boivin. But very pricey. And M20 Airwave too. I'd be interested in seeing someone trying out a 141" Crossfire Sno Pro skid with Floats back there in an Apex.

Thanks Bigdog05 I'll check it out.

m10 or m20. m20 loves the rough trails. new m10 1200.00 bucks.

this is my post. still running the same setup. boy do my doo buddies get pist when i cook their a$$e$. ahicks did a pro x skid swap. those are nice skids too. sc10 3 isnt bad. but they just seem to fall apart. i think a 15 inch wide firecat skid would be a excellent upgrade as well. plus you would be running a 128" track.

You can mess with other OEM skids but the best skid is the ZX2 IMO. Turns the sled into a performance beast. Its probably better then boost. Its that good.

Sometimes I wonder if Spending 2,000$ on the ZX2 was worth it. But every time I read a reply from kinger, it just makes me feel better about my decision to buy this suspension. I cant wait anymore to try this thing out.

Dutch - you will love it, leave the settings as they are out of the box and go have fun, fine tune later.

I should be getting a kick back from AD but am not! just love something that works so dang well!
