Nytro hardest steering ever

[Hooray!]

I tried the Tuners and a few other dual keel skis and found them all to be unpredictable with changing condition and terrible in loose or deep snow. I've found the single keel skis to be more consistent with changing snow conditions and in particular the Curve skis to be superior for more aggressive riding in most all conditions....... Just my opinion after testing several options on a few different sleds over the years.

I have heard so many good things about Curves, when I do the next ski upgrade I am going to seriously consider them. For now, on a trail and up to 6" of loose snow, I have yet to find a more "on rails" predictable, no push setup then the Tuner IIs with the full Bergstrom setup. They really stick, enter the corner hot, the skis grab, limited inside ski lift, and shoot out of the corner. I agree, they are too narrow in deep stuff with such a heavy front end, but I overcome that with well timed throttle (which we have plenty) to lighten the front end. Hope to find a Nytro with Curves to try, what are you running for carbides?

Well i guess it will reduce it a little but i didn't notice it on a trail. Now I just need less force to steer on slow speed and i'm happy with it.

Did you reverse and shim the rubber bumper under the spindle? That makes a huge difference as the ski weight footprint moves to a better position... assume this works on all skis, not just Tuner IIs.

Shimming the rear of the ski rubber lifts the front of the ski and puts more pressure on the rear. It's main purpose is to reduce darting by keeping the ski tip up out of ruts but it also can increase steering effort.
