Looking for more bite in the corners. I run 144 studs up the middle and ride somewhat aggressive. It looks like both skis are comparable in price but the Curves offer "the leading edge" option for another $80 to eliminate slow speed darting which up's the price considerably. If they work money isn't important but don't like to spend $$ on a gimic.

Thanks, Coop.
 

I run curves, no leading edge, it took a little bit different suspension setup than the stock skis but there's zero darting, zero pushing and they steer very easily, I've driven a few sleds with c&a's and right away I notice how hard they steer, the curves to me never seemed to steer hard.

Good to know, thanks.
 
I have C&A razors... Haven't ridden yet with them. I guess I was thinking that so many racers use them for a reason they have to be good. I'll find out in about 6 months...lol
 
I put the curves on mine for the last ride of the season. No leading edge. Best thing I've done to the sled. Night and day over the tuners. This was spring riding so darting wasn't an issue. But the tuners in those conditions I would have rather stayed home

LOL. That's exactly why I was leaning towards the Pros. I've never rode a sled with them to know myself.

I have C&A razors and they were quite hard on the steering at first. I was running around a 6" shaper bar on them. Almost reminded me of my Nytro :) But I swapped the shaper bars out for Slim Jims. Now they are great. No darting and they steer with only slightly more effort than the stock tuners in any conditions. But they also hold a line in the loose snow - unlike the stock tuners. I'm super happy with this setup.
 
Ran curves last season , much better steering than stock, no leading edge.They did dart in some conditions, quarter inch shims cured that. No regrets.
 
I was so happy now you guys are making me want to spend more money. LOL
 
Ran Curve's all last season. The ski's really make this sled rail around the corners. Cured the stock ski push.

Curves float great in deep snow too.

Initially I ran 4" carbide and no leading edge. Very minimal darting.

After the 4" carbide wore out I installed 6" carbides. The skis darted more.
Then installed the leading edge. Now the skis have very minimal darting.

Overall a great ski.
 
I put Curves with 4" shapers on for my last ride of the season in Muni last season. Mashed potato snow for the most part and they worked much better than the Tuners with 6" shaper/stock combo. The only complaint was when I was off the throttle slowing they wanted to dart and rail. This season I think I might try the Deuce bars and see how they work. I have the Leading edge in hand, but saving for a last resort.

One thing I found with my Curves is that there was a ton of side play in the saddles. I'm talking .200" with the bolts just snugged. I needed to finish so I just drew them down and sucked in the sides, but I need to address this before next season.
 
C and A's all the way! Makes your arms strong!!! Haha I ran them all last year and they are tough. I like to ride real aggressive and I like to have a good bite into corners. They are definitely a work out. Worth it in my eyes. Have no experience with the curves.
 
C and A's also seemed to float really good in deep powder
