I switched to the SlyDogs Attack skis this year from Curves, using 7.5" Shaper Bars, on my '20 SRX. Running a 1.5" Ripsaw with 192 1.86" studs. AC 160/260 center spring. HyGear dual rate springs on ski shocks, set just enough to keep the springs tight, and the front's center of gravity low. I found after adjusting the center spring, that these skis are very predictable and go where I point them. I also bought a 9' 3"x 3" piece of angle iron to set my ski alignment, with a soft bungee on the loops and measured at the carbide studs. maybe 1/16" out at the leading studs. Coming off of the Curves, I ride very confident with the Slydogs. But I will admit, I did put more time in adjusting my front skid shock spring as well, to where on my last adjustment, I adjusted it a 1/4 turn to put it in its current sweet spot. I have them adjusted, so that the outside ski isn't biting so much creating any unpredictable inside ski lift, and it's not blowing through the corners trying to find traction. It even steers better on bare road, after removing some of the ski pressure, instead of plowing forward from too much ski pressure and a more balanced sled. At slower speeds, I guess they could be a heavier ski to turn(or carbide combo) on tight hardpack trails, but I am ordering my EPS parts, to "lighten" that load. But I feel there's always going to be a give and take on most set-ups. Just my $.02...on the Attacks, I know not the Commands that this post started with.
