They are only able to make about 100 sets a week apparently so they are not getting to everyone, some dealers only got 1 set i've read.

100 sets a week? Wtf is the deal with that I wonder.......
 
Got mine too, the dealer said they are coming in a set at a time. Yamaha must be rationing them. :) Oh and the dealer told me not to twist them while installing them, he said he was messing with one and he twisted it and heard allot of cracking. I hope these hold up and work. Oh well its only money. Ride on!
 
Picture of the new Dupont slides. Mine slid on the rails really nice and easy. No snow yet so can't test them out yet. :letsnow:

Wonder how cost effective these will be? They are over double the cost of the other hyflax runners.. And they only make them up to 144 so for use with 153+ It's a rather big let down as he it seems that the longer tracks wear worse.

Testing year...
Don't give out too many and wait for customer feedback.
If all good, have more ready for next year.

Those are holes in the insert.

Interesting......

Seems as though Yamaha is trying out a few techniques on these to keep them lasting longer than the normal ones.

Please keep us updated on wear if/when you get enough snow to test them out.
 
The little holes in the Vespel inserts are used to hold them in place during the molding process.
