I know the topic of our sleds darting has been talked to death and "Tuners" alot of the time being the solution which I agree with 100% but...........
I find that on the hard pack, the sled rail's around corners corners like no tomorrow but when theres an inch or two of loose snot on the trail the xtx tends to push more than grab in the corners at high speeds. Anyone see the same and have a solution?
 
Yep, I didn't want to be the black sheep. Everyone that posts on here talks about how great the tuners are.
I am not a fan of Tuners…..I agree on harder more setup trails they work good. Any loose snow and they
really aren't much to write home about. Looks like Yamaha is making a deeper Keel version for 2015.

What size of carbides are you running with the tuners? I have a stock tracked XTX with 4 inches on the inside and 2 on the outside and find it great in all conditions. It will push a bit with 4-5 inches of fresh snow but all sleds probably would a bit in those conditions.

SplitRail. Skis are the way to go. Over 16,000km on them now.
 
I find the same thing on my Apex's with tuners, great on hardpack, but push in the corners on the fresh fluff
 
If you guys think nytro darts a lot, try a stock viper in stock form, then you'll know true meaning of darting.

Always wondering how these are in the ditches, power lines and powder? Look great for the trails, but what about the other?
