Ok, I just upgraded my Nytro with Tuner skis and Woody's 4" outside and 6" inside carbides. I put on about 400 miles last weekend riding the tight twisty woods trails in northern WI. Yes we rode hard but, in 15 years of riding those same trails I have never bent a single carbide. Both of the 4" outside carbides were bent in about 3/8" at the middle. Is this common with Tuner skis and if not, is this a Woody's issue possibly?

I have the arrow skis on my apex which are basically the same as tuner,
Thousands of km's and never bent a carbide rod on them,
Maybe just a bad batch of carbides...

My experience with Woodys carbides have not been that great. I find Studboys last longer and the Shaper bars have better bite.
