C&A XCS on XTX

[A&Shuntr]

So much for a crossover, or even on trail with more than 2" of loose snow, Tuners are useless. Nice on groomed hardpack but understeer like crazy even with 6 and 4" of carbide on them. Adjusting suspension doesn't make a pile of difference, so has anyone run the C&A XCS on a XTX with good results?

Get yourself a set of Yamaha MTX skis with snowtracker carbides, enjoy the rest of your Apex experience.

I agree with Stubbs, made a big difference on my XTX, VK pro/ MTX ski with the single deep keel with aggressive snow trackers.

x3 on the 09 mtx ski. i have them on both my apex xtx's

the tuners on my 16 did not even make one trail ride before i swapped them out as 3 rips across a pasture in a foot of snow was enough for me. runninng 6" carbide with a 1/4" rubber shim at the back of the ski rubber.

Part # for those skiis?

I don’t have the XTX model, I have a 2007 Attak GT with a Ripsaw II track, no studs but clutched real well with 16,725 miles.

That being said I have tried the following skis…stock with dualies, stock with shaper bars, SLP Mohawks, SLP Powder Pro, C & A wider mtx ski, Curve XS and now Simmons Flexi Gen III….the latter mentioned is the best I have used to date.

Thanks Maim, took shopping list to local Yamaha dealer and got huge sticker shock! All those pieces add up quick. Add the snow trackers and it was significantly more than the C&A option. C&A XCS's will be installed tomorrow and we'll see how they work out. Hoping they will carve like my '02 Viper (built) with the USI VX301's on it.

Update: went for a short 100km ride yesterday and they worked awesome! Didn't have to change any of the suspension or steering geometry. Doesn't dart like the Tuners (mild, but it was there) and carves in the loose (and hard) like crazy. Only downside was couldn't torque the wearbars to C&A's spec. - started to distort the keel quite a bit.
