Does anybody know of a suspension upgrade for Apex Mountain? The stock skid and shocks just don't do it for me when getting up to the mountains. What can be done?
Was also thinking of bying Fox Floats, as I think the stock Shocks s*cks...But I hear rumors that they may start to leak after a while? any help appreciated...

Fox floats starten to leak? New one to me, thats all ya see on sno cross sleds now are the fox floats.
Yeah, haven't seen any leak myself, but spring is around the corner, and I can see a problem if you get sand on them. Might have to do this upgrade though...

Its not a leak its just when the air warms up they get more pressuer cause the air expands.I em also wondering on the rear suspension but i need something that will hold the front end down a bit more with the turbo.I was thinking of a m10 but there so expensive.
cheers

I thought the M-10 had a very bad apporch angle which makes it horrible in deep snow?

M10 is a cow. Get something like an ekholm, expertx, etc.

ExpertX is NOT a superlight skid. Its built like a tank. I think the guys who work at ad-boivin must be retired military engineers or something.
If you look at any of the TRUE mountain skids, like ekholm or mountain addiction, they are based on the same design as ExpertX (but weigh a lot less). Suspensions of this design (yes, that includes ExpertX as well) are particularly well suited for deep snow. Transfer is *excellent* and highly adjustable, plus they have a feature where at just the right moment, it will pull up on the front of the rail to get the sled onto plane rather than standing it up like an idiot.
The main difference with the ExpertX compared with other mountain skids is that yes, it is a bit heavier. Its still got to be 30 pounds less than proaction though

My 03 mountain skid weights 72lbs, with 159 ext's. Buddy dealer his ekholm weighted 49lbs, its a 162 skid, both on the same scale. Climbmax old sled, the 162 holz weighted in at 51lbs.

how does the ekholm handle the realy steep climbing can it be ajusted to not transfer at all & does it soak up the big bumps like the m-10
I don't know if any of the ekholm skids I rode where ever setup right. They climb okay, 98 MSRX 159, 02 Viper 159, 03 RX1 159, 03 RX1 Turbo 159, 06 Apex Turbo 162, sleds I have rode with an ekholm skid. On the trail there are 
in my opion. I don't they are any better than my stock skid. I go any place they go. That's my 2 cents on the subject.
