Stryke ski

[ApexXTX/Viper]

Anyone know the width of this new ski? Appears to be same as Tuner's 5.25" width? Anyone seen the "adjustable" shim and how it works (does ski have to be removed)? Will it fit 2019 and older spindles? Sneak Peek's all cancelled near home.

Spindles haven’t changed so will fit. My understanding is the ski must be removed to flip or add shim

 

[mooser17]

Any idea of price on the new ski?

Live in the Fenelon Falls area. Yes, the one at the Sensplex has been cancelled too.

with the history of Yamaha skis, ending with tuners that I wouldn't put on a vintage sled. I can take a guess how good they will be.

Nothing personal. Disagree. Single keel with semi aggressive sno trackers will very good. The cat skis on this chassis are very good with either 6 inch slim Jim’s or semi sno trackers. Aggressive is a option also. I think Yamaha gets it right on this ski.

LOL! I am getting a set IF a reasonable price. My Pilots are wore out and pushing much more than when new.

• 140mm width, 5.5"
• They float much better then the tuner's in loose snow.
• They will retrofit to all 2014+ SRViper / Sidewinder models, some hardware may be required (Bolts etc.)
• Ski needs to be removed for shim change.
• Shim's are below the rubber block, we will offer shims through our accessory channel with different thicknesses and angles to adjust the ski loading.
• Front Shim- Steering Effort, Aggressiveness, Comfort.
• Rear Shim- Hard to Soft snow conditions, force on length of keel in snow.

Shims are they grey blocks below the black rubber.

JMS have you experienced any darting after the trails set up with these new ski's. I have tried numerous ski and carbide set up's i like the way the single carbide bites in the corners but they can be kinda sketchy in certain trail conditions darting all over the place. I have had good luck with the Cat ski and staggered carbides. I am now running the snow trackers and they are hands down the best set up I have tried so far. I have herd that Yamaha may be offering a staggered carbide for the new ski.

Really like this set-up. Been "shimming" for years with slider chunks, rubber pieces and plastic like the sheets Triton uses down the middle of their trailers. Attached to rubber mounts with brass screws, stainless screws, various glues and epoxies, etc. All would help but would soon "sag in" to rubber mount and would need to be re-fitted. A factory set-up is definitely the way to go. Carbide bolts appear to hold shims firmly in place? Look to be perfect for wife's Viper- tried Slydogs but she finds steering effort too great. Big question - how do they compare to the Yamaha Mtn ski (which I find are a good improvement for cornering and greatly enhanced floatation on long powder lake runs)? Even bigger, will they be available in blue with white handles to match 2019 SRX?
