Center carbide for Simmons skis

[Vandelay Industries]

Has anyone ever tried one of these for the Simmons Flexi-ski?
They are made for the Ski-doo precision ski. Curious how they would work on the Simmons.

I have seen them on the web. My opinion is that it would cure the issues with eratic behavior on plowed frozen roads since the ousides wouldn't touch and the other problem they would cure would be the hard slow speed stearing effort since you wouldn't be lifting the sled when turning.
This company would probly list a set for simmons but they have a company policy not to sell to aftermarket.

Who made this? Why cant they sell to the aftermarket unless you mean advertise for the aftermarket and BRP sells them?

Pretty sure that Royal Distributing carries them...at least I remember seeing them in their catalog a couple years back.

What I mean is, the company will not make anything for an aftermarket ski. They make Cobrahead and dual offset carbides(only for cat ski)
They will not make any product to bolt onto an aftermarket ski. Stupid policy if you ask me with all the aftermarket skis out there.

I talked to one of their reps about being a dealer for their products. The other thing he told me is that they only set up dealers as distributors. So only a yamaha/skidoo/cat/poo dealer could sell their products. Not sure if this is still true or not, just what I was told by their rep.

Seems like they already make enough money and dont need any more.

They are $53 for each runner and are on pg 257 of the Royal Catalog.
