New Ski's for a 08 Nytro RTX

[NytroFIB]

All - Looking to switch the OEM ski’s that came with my sled and have gotten the typical sales pitch runaround from the dealers, etc. about what to buy. Figured I’d ask the real experts…actual snowmobilers! No other better place to get the best advice than John Dee.com!

Thanks!

Curve. See TY for test details.

Running slygdog's with bergstom triples on my attaks. Turns on a dime and virtually no push or darting.

 

[NytroFIB]

Thanks for the leads! How about USI...any opinions?

Curve XS - Agressive/More steering effort

C&A XTX - Moderately aggressive. (less than the XT)

Simmons Gen 1 - Great overall ski/No darting/Pushes in loose snow.

5.7 Pilots - Easy steering/Pushes/Poor Flotation/Cheap!

I have read that USI, Triple threat X2 with 6" Shapers work well also.

In reality you can buy just about ANY other ski and it will be an improvement. I am not sure why Yamaha is so slow to realize that they need a new stock ski.

i'm running C&A pro razor ski's w/10 in. carbides. got them at a swap meet with carbides, tips and mounts for $75. can't beat that

 

[mvedepo]

Wow. Have you tried those out Indy? With 10" cardides you should be the size of Lou Ferrigno by they end of the season.

;-)

 

[indy_500]

who's Lou Ferrigno?

 

[mvedepo]

lol..you'll see in March.

You know your getting old when a younger one has no idea who you are talking about.

My thread has been officially “JACKED” - no pun intended! Ha

 

[NytroFIB]

I wonder what brand sled the Hulk rides and the type of ski's he uses??

 

[mvedepo]

Lol..thats easy:

C&A pro razor ski's w/10 in. carbides

Seriously though. These are your best bets. Unless you are looking to get into some deep powder. I can tell you what I am doing. I am going to try to sell my OEM ski's. If I can't sell them then Curve Industries has a trade in program that I can put them towards a new set of Curve XS.

I think they are a solid ski and you cant beat the amount of communication they provide on different setups they are running.

 

[NytroFIB]

I saw the Curve website...they have a good thing going. I appreciate the all the info you and the others have provided!

 

[indy_500]

lol i've never seen that guy before.

 

[indy_500]

the brand of my carbides are woody's by the way

 

[yamadooed]

See'n how nobody makes a ski that does everything great... My first question would be what type of ride'n do ya do and second would be what type of rider are ya and third is what type of sled ya sport'n???

I got the answer to the third one already...

Obviously you never saw The Incredible Hulk (TV series, circa 1977-1982)?
(Why am I feelin' old all of a sudden?)
