M10 w2 air skid questions

[stubb111]

iam curious about a fast M10 w2 air rear skid, has anyone used one of these??? iam thinking about a 114" tip rail unit for my xtx, i will be using it mainly for hard trail riding and some off trail (no mountains in ontario quebec....lol) i know the original M10 was and still is really popular but, having a hard time finding any info on this model. any information would be appreciated.....thanks

I have a 151" W2 M10 under my 2008 Vector LTX. I've ran it for three seasons with no issues so far. Compared to the stock mono skid, the W2 ride is superior. The one thing that bugs me about it, is its weight tranfer. You get alot of track spin at take-off. Once moving, however, you'll be grin from ear to ear when you float over the chop.

I hear the M20 is a superior ride to the M10 and transfers even better. I'm seriously considering buying one for my '12 Apex XTX. Unfortunately, it only comes in a 136" length, so I'll either have to add 136"-144" rail extensions, or drop down to a 136" track.

Anyway, let me know if you have any more questions about the W2.

according to FAST they have a 144 tip rail model (as per email from them yesterday)

Hmm, that must be new! I do not see it on their website. The 144 tip-up rail your talking about is a M10 W2 and not a M20?

I know their products are good but, website is not great. last time i dealt with them i told they had a shock for a switchback i was building and it wasn't shown / listed on their website, they just emailed me back saying they had one for me??? they sent it out (was a bitch to put in) but, worked amazing.

iam seriously into it if they can pt it together, although the wife isn't....LOL

My wife is not very thrilled about me dumping more money into a sled I just purchased two months ago!

I have 136 m20 in a warrior for four years.I love the ride when tug hill gets rough. You have to go to the 144 with articulating rear section because of track tension issues.you can find that skid in the mountain section of fasts web site. I don't know if you have external drivers if that would alleviate the track tension problem.

I posted in the mountain section.....no replies???

how is the transfer? that is my main concern, I like the rear transfer with the star kit.

when i got the m 20 it was one of the first. the skid didn't come with a limiter stap could not keep the skis of the warrior on the ground. i don't believe you would like the transfer of the m 20. when you have the skid set in the sweet spot the front end doesn't dive into the holes. the front end just skims across the tops , but your not going to hookup from a standing start.

northernsledder......how is the weight transfer o your m10 w2 air unit? will it allow you to carry the ski's over whooped out sections? not looking for big power wheelies, but my xtx is capable of carrying the front end over holes etc.... now with the star kit and would like to keep that feeling.

M20

I have an m20 in my nytro, what air pressures are you running in the shocks?

 

[Redbeard]

My Vector will stay relatively level going over moguls. It will not nose dive coming over the top of a whoop in the trail. The front end will stay down climbing hills too.
