Good description of what the 6 inch shapers feel like to me.
I am going to try the Qualipieces Trek carbides this year. They are a semi-aggressive staggered carbide. The website picture doesn't really show how staggered they really are.

Those are what I'm coming off of. I had those on the Stryke skis. No darting at all and genuinely good...but there was push. I'm trying to get rid of that. I'm going to try the C&As with the triple points...and their shim and see how it feels.

They will push, that's what I had on my 22LTX which started me to write this thread in the first place. The 5.7R or 6.9 worked better with single carbides and navigators.

I would rather have a bit of push than have the front end "rooted in the snow". I can deal with the push.
That may be just me, but I hate the feeling of sled trying to high side me. I am getting too lazy to hang off the seat anymore.
Also, I hate darting, so a little push to achieve zero darting is ok with me.
Will these Tek carbides push too much? Maybe. Will they be better or worse than the Slim Jims? I will find out, I guess.
If they suck, then they will go with the rest of the other skegs on the wall.

Some sleds when ski pressure builds and it high sides, it can be quite managable. I find the procross quite the opposite. It fights highsiding and when it flips up it can be almost violent - where there is little to no control.
The trek carbide looks interesting. Would love to hear some feedback. I thought they were only made for a polaris ski and ski doo pilot?
