Pilot skies with 6" middle 4 " outside carbide .Crappy snow conditions. This thing rails now. Heavy steering now as I have to let out front strap 2 holes that I tightened up before. And dial in more transfer. Spent all winter try to steer this thing and finally when snow is gone have got it dialed in.
Best up grade yet.

I do a lot of trail riding. I think it was about 70/20 ontrail/offtrail this year.

Hows a 144 handle the trail?


It rides alot nicer then it did when it was a 121. I get a little push in the corners when i come hot but its not bad. Adding more track out back help balance out the front end big time. I get alot more hookup then when i had the 121" with 144studs. lol I like it more then the 2011 APEX XTX they just add more rail, I move my skid back 4". This is the link to the build i did on it. http://www.ty4stroke.com/viewtopic.php? ... highlight=

That's what I was going to do, but after looking a the cost of the tracks and the add track on the ground it was easy to go with the 144". And the add tunnel gives me room for a gas can.lol for those days when I do get off trail.
