hi please help just bought2010 vector ltx gt for my wife.. stock skis dual shaper bars, no darting but pushs real bad. have been reading on here for many hours and im confused. seems like snowtracks are the real deal but, have read they are dangerous. my wife is not real aggressive but does like to push it at times. seems like tunners or snow trackers, but need the push reduced without heavy steering, she weighs 115 pounds thanks for any help

I agree with Kviper. Have many thousand km on them on 4 different sleds. Best $200. i ever spent on a sled.
The only time they might be able to be remotely referred to as dangerous, is if you have enough power to lift your skis like I do on my Turbo and you come down hard & fast on frozen snow with your handlebars turned. Happened once to me in 4 years. I took a bit of a lurch but did not come off it. gotta love a planted sled
Pretty sure your wife will not run into that on her Vector.

I bought Snowtrackers for the first time this season. I have aggressive's on my EPS Apex and semi's on my wife's GSX 1200.
The confident "Point and Shoot" non-darting steering is un-matched. The only time you will encounter "push" is in powder. Other than that they simply take the sled (without fuss) in the direction they are pointed.
FWIW, the aggressive's made the steering a little too heavy on the GSX so I went to semi's. While my wife is in no way an aggressive rider, the addition of Snowtrackers to her sled has proven to boost riding confidence resulting in a faster rider... (more enjoyable for both of us when she comes along). A word of caution: Initially she didn't even realize she was traveling faster (in general) than before.
I have no firsthand experience with how Snowtrackers work on the non-EPS Vector but, (based upon your description of her riding style) would guess the semi's to be the "Ticket".
