Yes. They are the same. XTX, you just have to flip it when installing it.
OK cool, that is what I thought. I've had 2 LTX LE's and thought they were the bomb until I met my XTX LE and I think it was love at first sight! Lol She's so smooth through the chop and moguls, but I know there is even more room for improvement knowing it's using a lessor shock package.Yes. They are the same.

Ha! I felt the same way with my XTX LE. Amazing sled. I hardly ride my LTX LE anymore because I love the XTX LE. Now that the '25 came with Power Steering, it honestly for me, is the best sled. I put the QS3R's on the front and had Cannondale put the iQS on them. I will be looking to do the same with Hygear now they have a solution for the rebound on the QS3's.OK cool, that is what I thought.

That's great! Love to hear this. After the Apex and riding on all the other brands going to the Sidewinder LTX i didn't think it could get any better, but low and behold the XTX LE just turned it up a notch!Ha!

I agree that 146” works awesome!That's great! Love to hear this. After the Apex and riding on all the other brands going to the Sidewinder LTX i didn't think it could get any better, but lo and behold the XTX LE just turned it up a notch!


Hopefully everyone doesn’t get them since then it won’t bridge the 129 and 137 whoops!

I am liking all these positive reviews on the 146 skid.I agree that 146” works awesome!
I have owned the Pro-Cross chassis in 129 (2) and 137 (3) but never a 146.
I took a shot on the 146 this year and it sounds like most approve of this length skid in the Pro-Cross.
My biggest concern was turning the sled in tight trails and the lack of track options.
Now I just need to address the iQs suspension!!!


It definitely is not a 129 in the twisties but the transfer and balance feels a lot like the 129”. 137 feels bigger than the 146” in my opinion.I am liking all these positive reviews on the 146 skid.

Has anyone tried hooking up an iQS shock on a LTX LE that has the wiring in place to see if the ECM recognizes it? Next would be can the settings be switched from the controls and show up on the display?

Looking at the parts diagrams for the T-Cat with iQs and a 9000 RR it seems as though the Engine ECU is the same. The hood harness is also the same. The main harness is the same. The handle bar switch gear is the same.
The iQs sleds have a suspension module----
Module, Control - Suspension
0730-387
$357.20
and 2 module harness's
Harness, Suspension Module
1686-826
$116.18
27
Harness, Rear Shock Assembly
1686-913
$42.08
you then need the wiring to the front and rear shocks, unless it is included in those harness's. I cant find separate ones....

Thanks Stain, connectors are already there at each shock so its plug and play with the module harness, (this on 24 & 25 LTX LE). Easy enough I think. This will have to wait until next season though as I have already had the shocks serviced for the upcoming season and installed.

Depends on the year.2019 doesn't have a start button switch gear.Looking at the parts diagrams for the T-Cat with iQs and a 9000 RR it seems as though the Engine ECU is the same. The hood harness is also the same. The main harness is the same. The handle bar switch gear is the same.

You can get whole stand alone system from Fox which is a better system than Cat at this time.
