Mark we’ve been running the Rox Flex Teks on all of the off trail sleds in our group. They’ve been tough as nails and SUPER helpful for keeping those “stinger” limbs from snapping you in the hands. 

those are the best,  the difference to the ski doo is night and day.  my hands were never cold with the Rox.  Need to get a new set but for being retired from motorized toys somehow i have 40k worth of them this year.  

Fuck it just ordered them

I have a set on my trail sled too.

i ran them on my last couple of freerides and my XRS renegade,  my Pro S last winter was fairly warm with the med windshield but the Doo is not.

Those actually look pretty good.  Still haven’t decided on my guards.  Either scats or the Rox Stealth.  I just don’t want the donkey ear look.

I agree with Nick on the Flex-Tec guards from Rox ... they flat out work.  @Zambroski - function over look!

They all work.  Just need a wind break.  But yeah, some stealths would look decent too.  I’ve already got the mounts so…

I like them. This is the best head on picture I have of them thus far.

I've ran Rox on my sleds for I don't know how many years now, only ones I'll use.  Got a set on my bench for my 2022 XCR, IF it ever comes in.

Know what else works?

A windshield.

Ever wonder why the XC and Enduro racers utilize one instead of a speedometer cover and a pair of Mickey mouse ears?

I just don't get modifying a sled to be colder to ride, and try to be warmer at the same time. 

Have you seen the new F150s come with half a windshield?  It's the hottest new trend.

Can we morph this into a can thread while we are at it?

And then there's the guys that run their "Race Sleds" on the trail.  Well their opinion of a race sled.  Ricky Z Racer trail racer.

Well, like anything, it’s how you ride and where you ride.  If I was hitting 70+ on the lakes fields and ditches, I’d have a flat screen and dress for it.  But I’m not doing that. Digits tend to get cold when extended in the cold weather.  A little protection against the one makes sense.  I also don’t get cold easily so, I can skimp and be better off than most.

Go see if somebody on HCS needs your assistance.

There’s a bunch of used sleds in my local fb marketplace searches. I even see some new at dealers.

Was talking to a riding buddy of mine about the upcoming New Year's weekend, and he said his sister-in-law has an Enduro 600 ordered and it was pushed back again.  Apparently his brother-in-law was told, "Maybe end of February, but likely will be March.  Don't call us, we'll call you" and also asked if they wanted to back out of it as the dealership could then sell it when it finally came in.  WTF!?!

Dealers are in a bad spot as well and not getting any better responses from both Polaris and Ski-Doo.  Still got guys in our club waiting for their Ski-Doo's but Ski-Doo has done a better job get sleds out to customers.  My XCR is in the build stage but a window from January 1st to the 31st for delivery is to open for me.  It seems more sleds are starting to show up so hopefully mine shows up sooner than later.

Same here for me (also in "build status") and I have a feeling the delivery is going to happen closer to the END of January instead of the beginning.
