I’m trying to get pictures up but until then what is the best set up or extras for this machine? Cheaper is best but I’ll do it if I can afford it.

Came with hid lights , billet gas cap and mirrors . There’s a lot different about this sled compared to the attak .

nice sled!!! darth vader model. If it has the tuner skis, id start looking into something different. CS pro, Curves, Pilots etc

 

[snobill]

It has the single keel skis , the guy I bought it from has some tuners with snow trackers on them that will come off his 15 xtx when he sells it . But he’s not sure if they are agressives or not . $150 worth it ?

 

[mikextx]

I have never tried the tuners with snow tackers. But i do know thst the ST themselves cost at least $150.

Aggressive Sno-Trackers on the old school Yammy plastic skis like your Attak has work great on the newer Apex sleds with PS.

Much better off with single keel skis and aggressive snow trackers. All my buds ditched their tuners for STs and single keel. Tuners not a well liked ski with the ck suspension.

So stocke single keel skis with aggressive snow trackers make it turn great but how will this sled handle deeper snow? Will it submarine ?

It will sub unless you stay on the fun flipper. Sno trackers or Dooleys on the the single keel work well on trail. Depends on your budget. With studs like you have, 8" Dooleys as a minimum. But most will recommend the snow trackers.

I put a 2.5" powermadd pivot on the stock riser for running off trail and ditches. But I am 6' 2". If you are setting this up "for your wife" it's probably not needed. And she will think it has ape hangers. I love it for standing.

The under hood bag for tow rope and micro jumper cables (maybe a relay) And the windshield bag is great for quick items like phone, wallet, glasses, etc. PS: like the RX and Attak, this will be the tow truck of the group.

I find the sled to be quite capable off trail and do not buy the tuner skis they suck. invest in aggressive snowtrackers and install them per the instructions you will be very happy. a skins float plat is nice for off trail. I love the wrp seat and the 2.5 pivot riser from lake effect. put oversized wheels in the suspension and a set of duraflex cable style ice scratchers. slide wear will be fantastic.

mine submarined until i put the lower a-arm gaurds whitch helped but the curve xs or mountain skis did the trick. broken over 30mi a shot in 3' of powder many times with no problem. i do reccomend the oversize idler wheels for slider wear as it solved my problems with slider wear.

I don’t have any trouble with submarining in deep snow crossing lakes, snowfields and unplowed FRs. I find the 144 floats well but if you bought Apex xtx for off trail you bought the wrong sled. Apex xtx is a ruff trail sled not a boondock sled. If that is what you want to do you should invest in mountain skis find out what those guys do and get a deep lug track. I too have a riser on my xtx mainly for stand up riding thru the trail junk.
