It's not as bad as we make fun of though. I'd be lying if I said I didn't look at my nuns after every shit-poor landing though. But, it all held up fine. Kinda like most obvious sledding advice, it's always best to try to NOT hit shit that will stop forward momentum. My last boo boo doing that was epic!!! GOD DAMN IT!!!!

Hitting even trail moguls with the skis turned will result in a tweaked smod... you have to either hit shit with skis straight or slow way down going into banged up corners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing catastrophic...but only because I caught it first...or somebody else did. I had my shock on upside down and Tom from Alaska pointed it out before I wrote it. Would a trash the inside of the track immediately. Also my younger son change the oil on my truck once unfortunately it was the transmission oil. It happens.

We've ridden tens of thousands of miles with new doos and the only time they Bend is when you hit something you shouldn't. Crossing railroad tracks or hitting a rock or stump will definitely bang them up but riding on a trail without hitting anything. Never saw that.

Do the math on Matt, d-man, perm, Denis for miles and how many s modules and whatever the fuck they're called modulles have they trashed. Maybe I should have left out D Man.

When I got my XP, front shocks were on wrong side...first big bump I hit would have broken the piggys clean off. Sad part is...shocks were on the wrong side on my RR also! these are "trained techs" at the dealer doing this!!! Meh...shit happens. 1 hour ago, f7ben said: Hitting even trail moguls with the skis turned will result in a tweaked smod... you have to either hit shit with skis straight or slow way down going into banged up corners Dude, maybe but I beat mine pretty hard and hit moguls about as hard as I could in many different directions (OH SHIT!!) and never bend up the front end. I'm 225 geared and can force my will on a sled pretty well. I think as long as you aren't forced to a stop...should be good. Good shocks must make the difference because, my chassis was the same as all XP's just with a tiny bit more bracing (XRS).

I don't believe for a single second that chassis is any tougher than the Doos. I've read about the same issues in the same quantities on both sides of that isle for years.

f7ben Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I've bent 3 myself all on XR chassis sleds.
