Thinking of up grading to 2023 GT

[Richard Hodgins]

I had a 2022 with EPS and struggled to find good cornering ability without push or dart. The Stryke wasn’t ideal, tried 5.7R as well as 6.9 pilots and both those were better than a Stryke. I’m not a snow tracker guy although I’m sure it would sold most of the issues.

I know have EPS on my older 2019 and put Sly Dog Command with 9” shapers. The thing absolutely rails and ZERO PUSH OR DART. By far best combo I have ever run on any procross chassis. I feel it would be a heavy setup if you don’t have EPS.
The command skis are reasonably priced with carbides (you can pick up a complete set with mounting hardware and cheap 6” carbides for the price of snowtrackers so a no brainer IMO)

Thanks Richard, is the 19 a tuner ski?

I have a 22 S-TX GT that I put the aggressive snow trackers on and they work great. Only put about 400 miles on them so far but no darting and they corner great. My front strap is in last hole and I tightened up my front skid shock spring, only thing I noticed was night time riding my light shines a lot higher so I need to adjust that (snow trackers raise front of sled higher than than normal ski carbides). My riding style is mostly rails to trails so I'm very happy with no more darting! I also have to run 1/4 mile down a paved road (not much shoulder) to get to the trail so I will see how well it holds up to pavement.

Thanks Marc001, that’s on the Stryke ski is it?

Arctic cat skis with 7.5 or more shapers work pretty well with the EPS. I run Curves with shapers on one of them and that is outstanding

Yes it is.

Did it, traded the Viper in on a 23 Sidewinder GT. First KLM’s in the am!

2 different animals for sure. Beautiful sled. Reserving my opinion on the Strykes for now. We had a lot of fresh snow, ungroomed and well travelled. So it was a recipe for darting. I got on my buddies 1200 Doo with Snow Trackers, which seldom darts, for a quick comparison. It was doing the same darting the Stryke skis were. I’ll have to log more klm before I decide anything.

Gave it a squeeze, came to a stop next to Marty Mcfly, Doc & a Delorean. Gave it another & came right back into 2024 lol.

I run 23 STX-GT w/ Stryke ski's, 14 Vector w/ Tuners and 2- 2007 Apex's one with original ski's and one with tuners. I have snowtrackers on them all and absolutely feel they are by far superior to anything else for trail riding regardless of the ski type. It eliminates darting, easier steering, and has longer life than anything I have run previously by nearly double. It gives me 100% confidence in the corners. When fine tuned with lifting straps and suspension it makes life much more enjoyable.

Aggressive or semi on the Strykes?
