Woody's slim jim Dually's...hands down...you dont need new skis on a yamaha. Just slim jims. My 06 attak handled very
well, and no darting. I have curve xs skis on my 07 attak gt, and they are a fine product, but they do hunt and dart with
certain conditions. They are very good for aggresive cornering, llike I said they did hunt and dart... I am non studded, so maybe the slim jims wont work as well if you are aggresively studded..but
I did not notice any push in the corners.
In my opinion u can ride semi agressively with the slim jims, and have little to no darting...a cheap good fix.
It all depends on how you ride...if u are a trail rider, try the
slim jims..i thought they worked fine...i like my curve xs skis
but I still have some work to do to get them dialed in.

Its important to note, that I have been around for a lot of years now and because they dont push for you doesn't mean they wont push for someone else. Its good to get your experience and that is what we need but I have never hada dual that didn't push.
All sleds are different and all riders are different, and fast and corners on rails to one means something else to another person.
Thanks for the review, I just like to put the caveat on there it may not work for EVERYONE.

My bet is they'll push SOMETIMES, under the right conditions, making them unpredictable. Not something an aggressive rider wants to think about roaring into a corner on the edge.... but great for trail riding/cruising.

Until the weight issue is addressed darting and pushing will continue to be a problem. Anything else including EPS is just a mask.In the meantime we have to live with it.
Ridden quite a few seasons and up until APEX; dually always worked well. Now I find that for me Bergston triples are the answer. Maybe if I adjusted the suspesion differently the dually would have worked, but they did not so I changed. Next sled will probably be my last one and I absolutely will try Snow Trackers on that one.... and if they are not what they are hyped out to be I will try something else. This is an expensive sport so just don't get so concerned with finding the cheapest fix that you pass on trying products or different approaches to a common problem.

You guys make good points...but my purpose was to
try and help new guys to yamaha make their sleds
handle better, and dart less....most people think
they need to replace their skis, I say they dont..especially
if they just trail ride...for the average joe slim jims work great.. ( not
regular duallys..slim jims..there is a difference).
Bergstroms would be my first choice..but they are hard to
get up here, and expensive...we all know snowmobiling is
expensive...i dont know about u guys, but i'm not getting rich
in this economy (salesman)...anytime I can save money, to ride
more, I will. The difference in price between slim jims and triple
Points is nearly 4 tanks of gas...think about that.
Powder riders, and aggressive riders...the above post doesnt apply to
you. Just trying to help the new people reduce darting.

I've had Slim Jims. They did do wonders for the darting, but for me, the push was unacceptable. I didn't like it at all.
I'm sure this isn't for everyone either, but so far for me, Snowtrackers are the only solution to satisfactorily cure both darting and push when using stock skis.
