Hello,
My wife rides a 2016 Vector xtx and says it does not steer the greatest and pushes in the corners. Just looking for tips on setting up the suspension and front shocks to improve the pushing feel through corners. My wife weighs approx 125 - 130 lbs, plus gear and helmet.
How much air pressure should be in rear shock.
Carbides are still like new.
Any ideas of things to tweak would be welcome as she really enjoys her machine.
Regards
Ned

Yes I think that is right. It has the fox air shock in rear, coil spring in front.

You want it to steer better, you can try pulling the limiter on the front up a hole but those skis dont turn the best if they are tuners.

What skis should I try instead?

Curve or C&A with a dually bar or Slims Jims. My 2018 Apex XTX Turns like a slot car.

skis are most likely the problem with pushing in the corners. my left over 2016 apex xtx only got 2 rides in a feild before i took the stock tuner skis off. with a long track like the xtx sleds have, you usually need a bit more agressive ski than even the stock single keel skis. i liked the curve skis on my 2011 xtx in 3/4 of the conditions i ride in but for me the 09 apex mtx ski was better suited for my riding area/style.
