Have you found any ski carbide combination for the warmer days? I run the pilot r2s with the aggressive Snowtrackers also and love how well it works.
I like Shaper bars for loose snow, but they dart and steer hard on any other surface.
I don't bother going away from the trackers because the conditions change thru the days ride. I however use the stock skis and carbides, or a set of 6.9's and Slim Jims for low snow, crappy conditions or early season riding.

Thanks again for posting this Nordik. I put the 7.5 shims in the front and rode this weekend and it's the best I have ever had with the stryke skis. Even with the trails like an ice skating rink this weekend I went straight and true. Now I will probably have to wait till next year to really put some miles on. Oh well at least I got to ride one more time.On the Tuners, snow tracker worked great on my 2019 and 2020 SRX. After that, on the stryke skis, me and my friend on our SRX experienced problems on soft snow conditions. Last week, my friend (2023 SRX) took the snow tracker carbide and welded a plate at the front to emulate a cobra carbide. He removed the snow tracker corrector. It seems that he solved the very anoying dancing problem he had.
As a note, he spoked to the dealer mechanic. The mechanic said that he noticed the dancing problem on the Sidewinder equipped with Snow Tracker.
On mine (2025 SRX), the Snow Tracker work pretty well, as on my 2024. It was not the case on my 2021, 2022 and 2023 SRX. Was it because of shims?
I spoke to the Snow Tracker specialist at Snow Tracker shop. His recommandation was tp put a 7,5 shim at the front and 2,5 at the back. Shims installation at delivery were 5.0 at the back, 0 at front. It can make sense with the original carbide, not with Snow Tracker.
