best skid plate

moderatebill · Oct 1, 2014

This subject has probably been talked over many times, but my searches don't pull much up. I am looking hard at the skinz, but hoping for some recommendations. What should I buy?

Thanks,

I think that most will say go with the Skinz float plate. I went with a Racewerx skid plate, I have just always been a customer of theirs and like what they have to offer.

For mountain riding get the stock Polaris one - it has just enough coverage and won't affect sidehilling. For East Coast/Midwest riding the Skinz version has more coverage but acts as wings in deep snow and hinders laying the sled over for carving. Narrow is better for the mountains!

Have FUN!

I just installed the skinz plate, I like the protection it offers. I'm 225 lbs. tipping something over has never been an issue!

I prefer the stock poo one

i like the poo one as well, it was cheaper

and if they are anything like the doo ones i have been using in the past, they end up "falling" off eventually

The Skinz one does protect more, however it collects a ton of snow and come morning you will find a large chunk of ice jammed in between it and the A-arms. I ran one for year, going back to good old Polaris skid.

Skinz..never had ice build up as mentioned above and the wings hold up your a arm when the glue fails...
