Thank you Glen. I ride on trail so I am not sure that I can get all of the benefit out of a set of 6.9 pilots. I did have the 5.7s on my Apex and it turned very well with 2 sets of shaper bars. I think I am going to bite the bullet next year and get them. This year I need slides already... Damn 700 miles and they are down to the wear bar.

The 5.7's are a big improvement! Lighter steering and no pushThank you Glen. I ride on trail so I am not sure that I can get all of the benefit out of a set of 6.9 pilots.

I have the Tuners with snowtrackers on my Apex and was very happy how they worked , and will try those on my SW LTX LE to confirm they are good there.Yep, I've got them on the oem skis.
Been trying different setups... they work good.

There is NO darting with the snowtrackers .
What other adjustments have you made ?
I always thought it would help in flotation and steering in loose snow if the Tuners were an inch +/- wider .

I have tuners with snowtrackers and they still push in the corners, had then on viper and they seemed to work alot better on that sled. Sidewinder dosent respond to them as wellI have the Tuners with snowtrackers on my Apex and was very happy how they worked , and will try those on my SW LTX LE to confirm they are good there.

Has Anyone tried the Sno Trackers? The dealer in my area run them on all of their sleds. The problem I have experienced is poor steering in light snow conditions. On hard pack it is heavy feeling, but I can live with that as long as it turns.
I'll be trying my aggressive Snowtrackers nex season on my Doo 5.7Race skis and on the 6.9's to see how they work on the Winder. I had to run them on the 1200 as it would steer way to hard without them.
I expect they will transform the SideWinder as well. They don't dart, push and they do not steer hard, in fact they steer very easy. They do work best on a single keel ski in the loose snow however.

Mostly suspension adjustments. Also tried one snowtracker on the outsides with 6" standard carbide on the inside, works well! Going to try using the oem carbides with the snowtrackers and see what that gives.I have the Tuners with snowtrackers on my Apex and was very happy how they worked , and will try those on my SW LTX LE to confirm they are good there.
