SnowTrackers on the X-TX Mountain Skiis?

[sideshowBob]

I am considering installing a set of Snow Trackers on my 2019 X-TX LE that has the Mountain style skiis like the BTX and Mountain SWs.
Has anyone tried this combination?

It sounds backwards to do that, but there is no reason you cannot, as they should take any standard wear bar combination designed for the hole location.

I say backwards, as off trail folks don't worry too much about carbide. I, on the other hand, like the floatation of the mountain ski, but need the bite of a good carbide as i trail ride mostly. But I loose minimal turning performance with that ski.

So I run the Apex Mountain Skis with Woodys Doolies for years and they have performed well. this isn't your exact question, but I think it applies. Be sure to shim the ski to spec of course.

Yes, they fit. I run the aggressive on my xtx.

I ran these skis with agressive trackers for a couple years on mine. I found them to work fine.
BTW, I would sell these powder skis now if anyone is looking. Blue with yellow handles.

The SW I just bought has pilot 6.9s with snow trackers. I realize not the same but still a wide ski. They handle the trail really well.

I've ran them for years. Good floataton, aggressive keel. Any preference of runners per your riding style works on and off the trail.

I have the cat mountain ski with aggressive sno trackers and love the set up.

I run Snowtracker on my XF9000 HighCountry 2018 and it is perfect on hard packed trails.

Update and Review.
Prior to my last ride I installed SnowTrackers on my 2019 X-TX LE. The sled is a unstudded 141" 1 3/4 back country that came with the Mountain Skis. I have been using fairly aggressive carbides on the sled since I purchased it new in 2019.
Yesterday we did a 300 mile ultra fast high speed day trip on immaculate trails, some parts freshy groomed and not quite set up yet but mostly hard packed that had little traffic. Trails were mostly old logging roads and some groomed lake running.
I have never used SnowTrackers before.

Here's my .02c based on a score of 10 compared to my regular carbides
-hard pack trail cornering...................10/10 ..........these things rail
-icy trails with light snow cover..........8/10............consistent control
-steering effort..........................................9/10.............definitely lighter then my normal carbides
-straight ahead stability.......................10/10.............you can let go of steering and they just stay in previous direction
-lack of rut tracking................................10/10............they don't track at all
-steering on gas station lot..................9/10..............they could turn pretty good on pavement and didn't get stuck
-drag on fresh groomed trail...............6/10.............they definitely seemed to glide less on loose fresh groomed trail
-fresh snow lake running[6 inches or so].......7/10............steering is a bit vague in fresh deeper snow
-crossing railway tracks...........................10/10..............just like any carbide
-weight............................................................5/10...............heavier then my other carbides

I would not use these on radar runs but overall, for trail riding, I love these things and I had no idea what I have been missing all these years!
