SayatodaU.P.eh? Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 I’m not dumping more than half of what I’ll pay for the sled, into shocks. I’m sure they will suck if pounded hard but I am sure that I can make due with some valve work or even maybe score some nicer XC/XCR takeoffs down the road.

SayatodaU.P.eh? Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 (edited) Honestly, I’m sure I’ll do stronger torsions, maybe a dual rate center skid shock spring set, and a thicker oil in the skid shocks to start.

I'd have to find my paperwork but I think Mike Carver charged me less than $200 to change all four of mine over to XC valving and I'd suggest the progressive dual rate spring setups from Hygear if you want to throw a few more dollars at it. Some folks like Raptor but... Proper torsions help kick the skid back out too and I'd imagine these are set up pretty mushy. (just saw your other comment) Just thought I'd throw the info out there for ya. Edited March 13, 2021 by Crnr2Crnr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trails are well maintained, good snow and the scenic value is fantastic. It's nice IMO you can go to the south, east, and west, not to mention north to Big Bay where you can do some off trail.

Off trail in Big Bay is where we have almost spent the night a few times. Strictly trail riding unless I bring the RMK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
