Carbide brand help

[viperrtx]

What is a good carbide brand/ type for a non tuner ski. Never changed carbides from stock before and my stock ones are damaged

I am using Woody's 6" duallys on my 14 LTX. Changed them as soon as I got the sled. Have not noticed any darting yet- they sure do turn well!

Snowtrackers are awesome but pricey

I like the profile concept of the Shaper bars.

thanks klondike I saw those online and was trying to decide between those and the slim jims unsure what the main difference is though

I've heard of those but couldn't find what ones would fit the viper. any links?

never ran a snowtracker but have always heard great things about them.

I have used bergstroms, woodys, and many others.
My personal favorite at the moment is studboy shaper bars. They are priced fair. Get great bite and last a long time.

How were the Bergstrom triple points? The design is intriguing to me.

Cant decide between the three.. either the bergstrom triple points... had them on my old 2003 viper , the woody's slim jims or the snow trackers

Actually i liked them more than the shaper bars but getting that guy to answer the phone when you call can be next to impossible sometimes.
He runs that business like he is living in the stone age.
In my opinion the carbide is not worth the hassel of the 12 phone calls i have to place to order it.
Shaper bars are available everywhere.

Have them on using semi-aggressive great handling lite steering no darting odd time I had a little push 2400 km still look new . Got some tuners this year ( dealer great deal couldn't pass it up) not on sled yet still need to one set of carbides. Not sure if anyone else has used them on viper (semi or more aggressive) ??? Read a lot of guys using them on apexs ,had tuners on my 2011 not overly impressed.

RTX and others, Scott Bergstrom hired a person to answer the phone last year. But there is still only one line lol. Been using his stuff for 20+ years. Can't speak to any others than Slim Jim Doolies. Have them on the 09 Venture I bought last year. No darting, but the seem to push a little. Ok for my wife, not so much for me.

I would suggest the Woodys dually 6" as well. The Stud Boy Deuce bar would also be a fine choice. They both have very good life with the Woody dually having a little more bite. Carbides really come down to riding style, sled setup and personal preference.
