I have a 2020 xtx 146 like the title says. I made a bit of an oops in getting c&a xcs skis and I've had to adjust my springs a bunch to compensate for heavy steering. What's done is done and I like the ski.
I weigh about 265ish with gear, but I have a 22L tank of fuel mounted on the tunnel plumbed into the main tank for a 300km range.
I am looking for different springs, but don't know if I need just the center spring, or maybe a combination of torsion/center spring. I also have no idea what rates to go with. I've perused stingray and hygear's websites, and have sent emails. Waiting for stingrays reply, but hygear said that they have limited info on the versattak suspension and that they offer a progressive center spring kit in the new Pro-Tek series ($164.99) for the center and heavier torsion springs in optional stiffer rates 18.5 and 22.5. ($224.99 pair).
As you can imagine, with the cad/USD conversion, things snowball very quickly, especially if I want to add font shock springs as well haha (1000$ cad shipped plus another 100$ for duty).
Can anybody give me some guidance and help me keep some gas money in my pocket?.... I really don't want to take off my CA skis, they work very well and the money is spent, and I want a better ride anyways.
