Almost to easy it looks like he over steering A lot probably cause he's not use to it. Power steering is a nice feature If you think ya need it me not so much I can drive my Winder with one hand if needed. There are some with physical set backs tho and think it will help them out tremendously.

The best thing about EPS is now you can run the most aggressive ski and carbide combo for no push, and still have easy steering effort. This would be incredible for tight trail system.

What I notice with EPS on my Apex isn’t easier steering but less long day fatigue from bar/trail constant correction. Very few need EPS for easier turning.. My 2 cents

This past winter I ran Snow studs double downs 8 inch carbides on my slp mowhawk skis.
Thats 32 inches of carbide.
Once set up it steered easy in all conditions.

I put Double down 6 inch carbides on my Wife’s sled last year. Slydog powder hounds. So same as C&A Pro. She loved the ability to be able to turn on pavement. This year I got a good deal on Mohawks for her sled. She was pissed because they came with SLP 4 inch carbides and they absolutely would not turn on pavement. I want Doubledowns for both my sleds now. As they both have Mohawks! She had no darting issues last year with the double downs!

Try the snyper square bar double downs instead of the round bars. I am going to try those next.

The benefits outweigh the weight gain. It probably wont even be noticeable. There are other Winders without P/S if you don't want it.UGH....More weight up front
I see NO downside.
It sure looks like the steering is actually direct with the Pwr Steering. Straight down to the unit and Tierods. That should be way stronger than the offset steering we have now.
