Need your feed back on 13mm Stabilizer bar

[RX1-er-2005]

I've ordereded a 13mm stabilizer bar from Pioneer Performance for a '05 RX1 shorty, any of you guys running with a 13mm and what can I expect.

I want flatter cornering, I'm fairly heavy 230lbs suited and find a lot of "squatting" in corners and by what of read this should help.

I run a 13 mm bar on my 03 shorty. It definately gives a flatter feel in the corners as the sled can't roll onto the outside ski so quickly. It makes them ride MUCH worse especially if you hit a quick bump on one side of the sled. I can live with it though and do. Also, off trail its damn near impossible to side hill because you simply CANNOT roll the thing up on the inside ski. If I was gonna do it again, I think I'd go with a 12 mm instead, but it works fine overall.

Yep!

If you want to go off trail, undo the dogbone from the link on one side.

Most bumps are even on both sides, sometimes you get a bump that hits one side and not the other - yes, they try to knock you over. Keep your eye on the trail and be ready for off-side bumps. Straight-on bumps make no difference, corners flat.

I put the 13mm on my 05 ,much better handling for my type of riding.

Same Here

On the Highways of Snow in Quebec it works well on my 04 Warrior

I also much prefer the 13mm sway bar on my 05 RX-1 over the stock 11mm.

As everyone says it does increase the kick significantly when the trail has a bump on one side. It's well worth it to me though.

Performance is much improved if you're the type that likes to push the sled to it's limit cornering.

I think the 12mm is heavy enough although I've also added a widening kit and straight rate springs. Simmons, precision, or pilot skis also help by widening out the effective ski stance.

I tried 13mm on my first Rx1 and didn't like the harshness.

Interesting comment about the swaybar disconnect for off trail riding. Never thought much about it for a sled but we do it all the time when 4 wheeling (makes a huge difference keeping tires on the ground) Then we'd just hook back up for the high speed stuff (isn't it all high speed stuff on these sleds LOL) Actually we do a lot of off trail low speed riding
