The carbides that come on brand new sleds are junk anyway. It's an insult that the manus. even put them on. The only purpose those stock carbides serve is exactly what you doing yesterday, they're great for early season riding/junk trails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well when the carbides are hitting rocks so is everything else..just pointing out that some sections of trail were a bit thin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say that Anler was right...great sled and the IGX Skid handles trail whoops and garbage well even though it’s uncoupled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awful knawful Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 I think I'm going to get some snowtrackers. My sled darted badly the other day with the ds2 skis. Pretty hard conditions and a deep keel. Put more center shock and didn't notice any difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take the stock carbide on the ds2, use it on the outside of the 6.9, throw a 6" shaper bar in the middle, sled steers and floats mint now.

Would like to ride that some day. Trying to get the wife to move out there some day. Need to see what I'm getting myself into.

I knew I wacked a rock hard, enough to crack the bar in half..but the carbide insert stayed.. Shaper bars for the win!! I got a brand new 7.5" Shaper bar with 100 miles with a chip out of the carbide. The last set of 6" Shapers I had a section missing. Not too unexpected with early season rocks.

Angry ginger Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 10 minutes ago, Jimmy Snacks said: co workers got an XCR800 and her husband wants her to get a new sled. Told her to sell the toilet as the only thing good about the XCR is the sound and being able to go fast on back and forth alke. aka Back Lake in pittsburg NH there they race on weekends. Looking for a sled for her makes me have the itch again. Found her a nice 19 XC850 about 5 miles from her house for a decent deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
