what are the best carbides for stock ski's?

Snowtrackers hands down for no dart and no push and easy turning. Everything else is a compromise in one area or another. Snowtracker Extremes!

Any top end loss with these Mike like with the dual runner bars?

What about ease of steering relative to stock?
 
So with the snow trackers do you have to buy the snow trackers and the carbides from them too?? Or can you just buy the part that sticks down (the snow tracker its self I guess) and run whatever carbide you want???
 
Snowtrackers can be had from Royal Distributing out of Canada.

No top end loss. They steer easy, Don't dart and don't push. Its the only setup I've found that have no compromise and no drawbacks, other than they are very expensive.

I save them for riding in good snow conditions, and use Slim Jims or Deuce Bars in poor conditions and just put up with the push in the corners. I know I can't take the darting.

Snowtrackers must be used with their own very deep carbide. As I recall there 1" thick. The set I have for my pilots are even thicker at 1.125" thick.
 
I believe Yamaha are carrying the SnowTrackers as a part now, at least in Canada as they were in the Yamaha mag I received recently.
 
Yamaha sells Snow Trackers but the price is $250.OO per set here in Canada.Royal Distributing are $204.95 per set part#08-19412 and the phone # 1800-265-2970. Very fast shipping!!! I'm 250 miles from there store and 1-2 days delivery. ;)!
 
I have one set of brand new Extremes For an Apex left if anyone needs them here in the US. I was holding on to them till I sold my Attak.

$190 shipped in the states. Saves you a couple bucks, shipping and time across the border.
 
Bergstrom tripple points are some of the best I have ever used. The main problem with most ski's out there is they are all tipped forward. Just look at any brand of carbide you are using at the moment and watch how they all wear out in the front and the rear of the carbide is not wearing. That my friend is your darting issue. Once you shim the back of your ski it will wear evan and you will have NO darting issue. Call Scott at bergstrom skegs and you won't have darting issues. It doesn't matter whose carbide you are using, its just masking the problem and you might think your problem is fixed, When its not.

Hey ron,what are these skags like,or how do they compare to shaper bars,or woody's,and have you already used them yet,how was riding over the holidays in the joemary area. patten area was preety good.
 
My 6" Bergstroms wore out last year. I switched to the Cobraheads and removed the shims this year. All I can say is WOW...what a difference. The guy that I normally ride with was wondering why I was going so fast. I didn't think I was. I have never had the front end planted this well. To be fair, I also had the rear shock re-calibrated (again), replaced the front shocks with clickers and replaced all the front bushings.
