has anyone tried hiper fax sliders?

[eskimonytroxtx]

they are expensive, but I think I will give them a try when I break in my new xtx as soon as it arrives.

That's a new record. You don't even have the machine yet and you're already in the market for replacement hyfax. Yamaha should be proud.

Save your money for the shocks you're going to need.

all the talk about them eating hifax got me worried.

What's riding like on the island? I don't guess you have a lot of smooth surfaces with the winds you must get.

I sold sleds to Selawik and Kipnuk earlier this winter. The new owners had the same comments. NAC had a crapload of sleds to ship.

riding here is awesome, you never know when you might run into a polar bear, on the northside around the village gets some pretty good powder, otherwise, it's mostly wind blown hard pack trails.

 

[eskimonytroxtx]

none of them are groomed

talking about polar bears, recently there was one wandering far south here on or near nelson island, and we dont get polar bears around here, in between kipnuk and chefornak... kinda strange tho, guess its global warming... anyways, i have 1000 miles, slides didnt eat through yet, still good, worn, no worries, winter storm beaten hard packed snow across the tundra, ungroomed...

I used super slippery graphite slides on my 800 max and they worked great. Lasted a long time too, at 100 smackers they should

 

[skidooboy]

i have them on my mtx, no wheels in the skid except for the rear (two wheel kit) and the upper rear idlers. with over 500 miles no noticable wear on the slides. the wife has an identicle sled with yellow oem accy hyfax, wasted in less than the same time frame, and i mean wasted. almost to the aluminum in 2 rides. and she has more idlers than i.

are they expensive? yep, do they work? sure do.
if they made yellow for the yamaha's i'd buy a set tomorrow for the wifes sled. ski

I had hiperfax on my 2005 RX-1 mountain. They had 2200 miles on them when I sold the sled and they were not even half wore. The track has to be fully clipped. It is worth the money,not to have to worry about them.

 

[snirt]

what are they like?

i have them on my 07 APEX RTX with 500 miles no noticable wear at all quite happy so far!!!!

 

[rxrider]

They lasted 2000+ miles in my turbo RX-1 back in 2007, a few miles of high speed runs (230 kmh or 142 mph speedo) on the ice killed them, they were hardly worn prior to the runs on the ice.
