i trail ride 99 percent of the time,it works i have the upgrade where there is no air shock on front of skid, seems better you have to run more air in rear air bag.
if you race or don't want to loose a bit of top end it not for you.
and if trails get bad i head home i live in the u.p. mi. and i only ride sun-thurs, so trails stay pretty good.

Get that grizz going! Dont worry about the sled. No snow anyway.

I just put mine in this year so only 85 miles so far not much snow, so far I'm impressed, totally different feel to the sled, feels much lighter and you don't get any feed back from the trail very soft and comfy. Have hopped over some Culverts and seems to throw the front up but stays flat, unlike the stock rear that would stand up and come down hard this lands on the rear and just absorbes the hit.still needs broke in and tuning, haven't been able to get into whoops or square edge bumbs yet but think it's a great improvement for trail riding. Transfers good but only lifts skis a few inches, had some trouble with air leaking this summer, I think it was the fitting on top of the shock. I took this out and made my own air lines to my runningboard with air guage and filler their so it's easy to see and adjust. Doesn't seem to be leaking now. I think I will like much better than stock, sick of rebuilding my ohlins ever year .

WHATS IN PLACE OF THE SHOCK THEY REMOVED ?

Same shock just no air bag, they changed the coupling to make the rear shock do all the work. Better handling and ride. Go to team fast.com to see more info.

I have the Platinum upgrade as well and it really makes the trail chatter disapear. The 1-2' woops are swallowed up as well with control and no pitching. I have the 136" and weight transfer is almost non-exsistant and I have lost some top end. I hope the reliabilty over stock will out weigh the losses. the stock skid would rub the inside of the track to the point of failure and the idler wheels and hyfax wouldn't even last a full season.

Be sure to follow the install instructions and use RED loctite on the mounting bolts. I had the front ones back out and oblong my tunnel. I fabricated some 1/8" steel plates to repair the damage and loaded up the bolt w/loctite and torqued it 70 ft/lbs per Fast.
