[Custom Rx1]

A ski-doo guy said that it sucks and there is know weight transfure. I just want to know what it is realy like and can it handle the rough stuff.

 

[WarriorBeads]

I don't have one, but everyone on here says the adjustability is easy, quick and virtually endless..... Weight transfer is supposed to be excellent... Sounds like a pile to me...

As for rough stuff, supposed to be TOP NOTCH!

That skidoo guy is on crack.

I have/had one on my 03 RX-1 Turbo. I had to turn the weight transfer right down so it would not come over backwards. The guy does not have a cluse.

The transfer adjustment is great, allot or a little... super fast and easy.

LOL!

He's definitely on something though, and WRONG on ALL accounts. The only bad thing about them is the shock calibrations, out-of-the-box. If you buy one, buy it from Excell Motorsports, or one with shocks that have been setup by them.

Sounds to me this guy has never had one nor rode one....simple as that. I still have my Expert and is very difficult for me to part with. It may end up in my 07 Attak GT.
Tell this guy he's on Crack.....as LB said.

He is a doo mancanic, he said that when they put then on the ski-doo a few years ago they were #*$&@.

That was Doo's poor copy of the first generation Expert on the 98 and 99 Formula Z 670s. They called it ARM or ARC depending on where you read it. They bought the design from AD Boivin, then modified shock and spring calibrations to fit their tastes, and removed some adjustment capability of the suspension in the process. In the Ski-Doo OEM calibrations, they were indeed crappy skids. But even those could be made to work very well with the help of a set of progressive springs ordered direct from AD Boivin. I owned a 98...was a miserable bucking bronco that bottomed out all the time before I did the upgrade, but was MUCH better after the upgrade...rode much smoother, had long travel, and never bottomed. Weight transfer was actually very good on that sled...I could carry the skis a foot in the air for about 1/8 mile if I had good traction.

The new Expert X is a much newer version of their original, and is an outstanding aftermarket suspension by all accounts I can find, though I've never owned one myself. Would be first on my list if I wanted to part with that much cash.

Sounds like that Doo guy's info is 10 years old, and based on a poor Ski-Doo copy of what is and was an otherwise excellent suspension.
