AK Rider, I thought about the polaris skid but I like to use original Yamaha stuff any body can just start swapin parts I like to tinker and make things work better. And if you have both suspensions out and mesure the travel and motion the arms travel there is very little differance between the to skids. The polaris skid has two mounting pos. in the front arm and for what reason is beyond me the sno-cross guys were running it in the short location, I think they were running it mainly because it was stronger without having to do a bunch of gusseting. I dont blame yamaha for not having a skid as strong as a purpose built race sled when thats not what there selling.

I brought it up because the sno-x team used the Polaris IQ racer skid instead of the factory skid and I always thought that was weird. I then read in either a magazine or online this summer/fall that the IQR had the longest front arm until Doo came out with the R-motion and Polaris started improvements on the Rush/Pro-R.

The stock Nytro skid requires gusseting to the front arm or else it will twist and break. As of right now, I don't have an IQR rear skid to compare to as far as far as travel goes (should be here in the next two weeks) but to make the Nytro handle, you end up sucking down the limiters which reduces travel.

I'm not familiar enough with the IQR front arm mounting position to comment, but I believe I read something about it here http://akracing.com/IQ%20Rear%20Skid%20 ... ations.htm

Maybe little bit off topic, but if you are looking for a longer center swingarm you need to take a closer look at the Lynx PPS rear suspension. No matter what their commercial material says, in my opinion, the advantage of the extremely long center swingarm in this particular position and angle is that you get a weight transfer that is very easy to control with your body position. Lean forward and the sled exits corners with the skis glued to the ground. Lean backwards and it wheelies like there is no tomorrow...
Evil rumours in the snocross business suggest that the R-Motion is Ski-Doo's effort to copy the PPS suspension, at least from a shock absorber progression point of view. I have never measured one so I can not confirm this.

From everything I've ever read, the PPS skid performs very well and is better than the Doo skid for rough terrain. BRP owns Lynx so they could easily offer the skid on Doo models. I'm not sure why they don't. Could be a simple as they feel North American customers prefer and understand torsion springs?

I'd like to ride one if given the opportunity.

Europe is a whole different world. There are many things and products that are far superior over there that just won't work or sell here(North America) just because we are to set in our ways. Most of europe are/is willing to pay top dollar for a quality product, but not over here. We want the cheapest price no matter what, so we end up at (insert box box store here) for disposable products.

Here is what I bought. Couldn't beat the price, service, and are they beefy.

Look more like the Apex arms, but they seem light and are very beefy. The ball joints are very stout IMO

Why chromoly vs titanium and what do u recommend for ditch banging shocks
