Anyone running the new U.S.I. X2 ski's?

[Burnzy07attak]

Just curious if anyone was using them yet and what they thought. I have a set ordered.

I've been running them since Dec. on my gt. Much better than the stockers.

OK so what is much better,they dont dart,they slow you down by say 5-10 mph not the gain of 3-5 they promised,they bite so hard that they high side very easy,and talk about steering pressure,wtf is this,and just so you know,i am not a wimp,but they do turn way to hard at slow speed,with min. transfer and limiter strap in stock hole,i am mnot to impressed with them yet.

So far, all I have been doing is lake riding.....not too much to report.

I just moved the spindle mount to the rear most position. I should be on some trails this weekend!

skis

heyguys , im not sure what usi x ski i have , i bought them last year so if the x2 is new this year i have the old version , but i felt the same way about them , hard to steer , i could not turn them an inch with out the sled moving , but then i added the power steering plate and moved the ski mount to the front hole , i really really like them now , i had simmons they were very nice but wanted to try something new , i also have had c&a good skis also mine were race ski and worked well on the trail but did not float well , after using these three skis i think my next set will be the usi , with a steering plate and monted in the front hole , they bite hard in the corners and flloat nice off trail ...just my opion

Running Tripple Threat USI skis very agressive.

I can't comment on these new style. I had USI VX skis on my Warrior and steering became VERY heavy. At slow speed it was extremely difficult to turn.

I have the Project X skis. They do ski hard but are manageable in my opinion. I can definitely feel it in my arms by the end of the ride. B2SO did you experience any darting with the skis mounted in the front hole? I do have the plates as well and they did help some.

I have the C&A razors with the 7.5 shapers, I am switching over to the Bergstrom trip 8" with ski savers I will let you know if it helps in the heavy steering.

NO DARTING IN THE FIRST HOLE

NO , THERE WAS NO DARTING IN THE FRONT MOUNT , I DID HAVE IT IN THE MIDDLE MOUNT THOUGH , BUT THEN I ADDED 144 STUDS AND NOW IT TRACKS A STRAIGHT LINE ... SO I DONT KNOW IF IT WAS THE STUDS OR MOVING THE MOUNTING HOLE THAT STOPPED THE DARTING , I WOULD GUESS THE STUDS , BUT FOR SURE LESS STEERING EFFORT IN THE FRONT MOUNT ...

USI Skis

I thought the rear hole was used to decrease turning difficulty.

i just got a set of used project x's.tried to mount them to a xtx,but i think i need spacific yamaha nytro mounts or am i wrong.

If you are going to USIs on the apex you will need the triple threats, as they were made for rider forward sleds. the project x skis were made for the older sleds. I ran both on my attak and the project x were awful darting hard to steer etc. But the triple threats are great no darting only are hard to turn when you are not moving.
