simmons skis

[NORTHERNAPEX]

Anyone ever heard of losing top speed with the addition of these skis?

 

[YAM182]

04 Warrior on bare ice with Simmons skis and cutting carbide (60 deg)
all around went 129 mph speedo.

Different day same bare ice with stock skis and worn stock carbide
was able to touch 130 speedo ,115.8 mph radar.

This is on bare ice.Snow may be different.

for 1 mile an hour, im getting some new skis

 

[Mighty]

I did notice increased drag on my Warrior, mater of fact I couldn't drive up my trailer ramp without getting a head start. Those damn 6 inch carbides bit and held

 

[MR.HAPPY]

I was told by a salesman that sells Simmons & C&A skis that the Simmons still push through the corners on the Attak & Warrior!

Any thoughts?

I think any ski that has an arc with the carbides on the edges can push in the right conditions because of snow building up in the center and actually lifting the carbides up off the trail surface. I put very few miles on my Simmons last season and didn't notice any push. But the few times I rode the sled the conditions were perfect hard pack. In those conditions the ski's turned like they were on rails.

Any ski AT ALL can push in the right conditions.

If you loose top speed, gain it back by getting the skis off the ground. More transfer.

Mighty, Are you running Simmons on your Attak?

LB, How do you like your Simmons?

Have you ran any other skis to compare too?

Thanks guys!

I only run C&A's. I have tried the Simmons before, they are also a good ski, but the C&A outhandles the Simmons in all conditions that I ride. I have used all the different models of C&A's, the new Outlaws are surely the way to go though. The new step keel design really works.

By the way, I too, ride an Attak

 

[Ted Jannetty]

Simmons Skis are the bomb, I have them on my 05 Venture and my 06 appex GT.

If your going for top speed install mini skis but don't think your going around any corners.

The reality is we don't ride at top speed anyway so it really doesn't matter.

They don't push any more than the stock skis, they float in the deep, and they haven't tried to kill me (the stock ones tried, but failed - see, they can't even do that right). I haven't tried any other skis... no reason to.

 

[MR.HAPPY]

The push in the corners at high speeds is what I'm wanting to stop if possible, plus more flotation!!!!!!

I'm thinking Yamaha mountain skis with Doolys!?

BR

 

[Red2003]

Doolys will push too. Go with the Simmons or C A's. I run the Simmons on my 03 shorty with Stud Boy shaper bars and have push only during slushy spring conditions, but they all push then. If you want an aggressive keel that sinks in and bites on hardpack, its gonna sink in even more in the fluffy stuff. Simmons offer a good balance of both, and don't dart... period.

Good I thought I was going nuts.
Mine does the same thing.
What a pain in the #*$&@ I must tell you.
