Any opinions on them? I replace the Cat skis on my 2014 Viper with Curve skis, just wondering how the Tuner 3 skis will work on the Sidewinder. The Curves dart a bit but turn well on packed or loose snow.

I swapped out the Tuner 3's for Curves with leading edge and 6" carbides on my turbo Viper. I would not go back.

I have no complaints on the tunner 3's, Running 6" and 4". Rails nice and wasnt all that bad off trail. I think they are fine out of the box, just depends on what you want to do with them.

My procross turbo cat had doo pilots skis with shaper carbides and it turned perfect,but did dart some,i had tuner stage 2 on my 15 aape xtx with 6" shaper bars and not studded it pushed some when hitting a hard sweeper at speed,and my doo pilots would not fit,so I stuck it out with them,on this sled I will try it stock first,than if I don't like it,put the pilots on,if I don't like them may try my boys first gen simmons on,for giggles.

Keep your 14 skis and put snow trackers on them.Any opinions on them? I replace the Cat skis on my 2014 Viper with Curve skis, just wondering how the Tuner 3 skis will work on the Sidewinder. The Curves dart a bit but turn well on packed or loose snow.

Going with C&As if I order a new sidewinder. Made my Apex carve like an Indy car. Awesome.

Ran the same set up this year and will not run anything else now. Sled was light in the steering, no darting and very little push. Greatest handling sled I've ever had. I couldn't say that with the tuners on it. My dad and my buddy rode it for a few miles and they are each ordering the same set up for next year.Curves with Slim Jim Duallys.

I don't run off trail with that machine. The consensus on here is if you run off trail the Mohawks are the better choice.

I don't mean ripping the powder more like ah look some pow let's go blow some wheelies haha. Do they sink like a stock ski or a bit more flotation

i run the curves off trail a fair bit and they are much better than the stock ski for floatation. they actually float better than mtx skis but do not turn as well because of the shallower keel.
