The mountain model type of the Yamaha FX Nytro is more preferable for me. I can be assured that this brand will put me into assurance that I am safe and guaranteed with it. Riding on one, seems like you are doing great stunts in the mountain.

There's nothing wrong with the stock skis. Yamaha has spent a lot of R&D on manufacturing the best ski possible. They are perfectly mated for the style of riding that FX Nytro riders want ....hahahahahaha!

I rode last season with them and they are amazing. Hard packed they are not much different than stock. In the powder they float the front end of the sled very well. They do their best work in lose snow on the trail. I can really get the front end to bite. You just better go to the gym, they are hard to steer

I also run the C&A XTX's on my XTX with deuce boys. I had Curves on for a little bit last year, and while they are easier to steer than the xtx's, they still don't bite as hard and stick in the corners like the C&As did. Pretty much where ever you wanna steer, the xtx's took me there, just a little more effort was required. Just my experience.

I just bought curve ski's and am interested in comparing them to the xtx ski's I had last year.

I just ordered a set of the new 8" Slydog PowderHounds with the 7.5 shaper bar. Can't wait to get them and try them out!

Im still running on my stock skis. if you ride very aggressive like the nytro is designed for, with some good carbides they work great. over 8k and more than happy

I enjoyed the stock ski's on nicely groomed trails: they handled flawlessly with the right carbides. But a few days the first winter of getting stuck time after time while trying to break trails after freshly drifted snowfalls, and I was done; there just is not enough area to lift the front end out of the snow or over drifts. My XTX's make the front glide over powder, and it's no longer is if I am drift busting in a truck.

wow.
i hate to bring this up, but honestly, if you think your nytro steers fine with stock skis, go ride a rev or newer doo chasis. and then you can see what steering should be like.
i never knew it could be that good until i sinned and rode a doo.
went into a corner way too hot, and with no leaning or nothing the sled made it right thru, right where i pointed it.
Now i didnt switch to the dark side, but i made some serious changes to my sleds after that ride.
the nytro xtx needs aftermarket ski support. my stockers didnt stay on their 35 miles. that bad. maybe the shorties can get away with it, but def not the xtx.

What I don't understand is why Yamaha doesn't just widen the ski stance. The nytro is like 43" wide I think. The REV's are like 47" wide. No wonder they rail. I'd bet Polaris and Arctic Cat ski stances on their performance sleds are wider than Yamaha. What's up with that?
