Put some saddle time in on a friend's XTX. It darts quite a bit. We adjusted the usual suspension settings but darting remained significant.
What aftermarket skis are recommended? He's rides trails at moderate paces, no / minimal off trail riding.
Thanx

Try turning the stock rubbers around. This will "shim" the skis and stop the darting, plus it's free.

yamis wont cut it. I have simmons but kind of wish I went with pilots, think the simmons are little tough on the arms at low speed twisties, I have pilots on a zr, but they are yellow, so not going on the xtx. I think you cant go wrong with pilots.

I've got USI triple threats, they work great. I shimmed and turned abound the rubber piece on my Phazer and the darting is GONE but the skis still suck. I'm putting Simmons Gen II on it next week.

I've talked to others who seem to like the Triple Threats as well. They make Stage1, Stage2 & Stage3. What would be best for a trail rider who drives moderate / fast? What would be the recommended carbide to go w/these skis?
Thanx much!

Pilots with 8" bergstroms in the center and 4" on the outside works great for me.

Put a set of semi-agressive snowtracker or cobra heads on your stock skis. They are just amazing!!!

Nope, no pushing just awesome handling and no darting.
The slydogs also work well but dart a little bit.
Curve XS's - contrary to what most folks seem to be experiencing "tuning" them to the sled - mine work perfectly and took very little adjustment

Agreed, C&A is the way to go. Agressive keel that does not dart. Did not have to shim at all. 6 inch carbides is perfect.
