I never said hill climb races aren't technical. They are but it's different than out in the trees. You don't do much super steep sidehilling where your boards will hang up in a rmsha race. If you do it's not very far. From my experience the Xm boards are to wide in spring snow. They hang up and lift the track out of the snow and then it will wash out. Ya you can fight it and make it not wash out but why struggle????? Why not make it easier?? Simple fix is lift and narrow the boards.

Dude I suggest you check the sag of your rear skid. Seriously if your running boards are truly causing your track to break traction on hard pack as you claim your rear suspension is sagging way to much ... How much sag does your sled have ?

It's got the regular skidoo sag. But I'm not the only one that notices it. And it's not just my sled.

What is the regular skidoo sag mean to you ? How much sag does your XM have ?
Wow, i am really dumbfounded with some of the statements on here.
Simple physics guys, hard to argue if u have any sense at all.

I am dumbfounded by the fact that we are on the second page of this thread and there are still no comparative pictures. I am also dumbfounded by the fact that each and every thread here on the SnoWest forums gets derailed by certain individuals. In addition, I am dumbfounded regarding this sport and brand loyalty, which I will never understand. I think I will apply for a government grant to do a study on brand loyalty and how it relates to a lack of logical process in thinking. I am sure I could get a couple million for that, don't you think?? :face-icon-small-ton

I'm dumbfounded why anyone would milk the government out of a million bucks to do a meaningless study.

1-1/2" sag at rest when it's dry.
Back on track here. I looked at the sp vs the X running boards. Sorry I didn't get any pics but I think the X isn't worth the extra money if you're going to trade shocks anyway. I snowchecked the X because I'm going to use the stock shocks and because I wanted the higher, more open boards.

When you say dry does that mean unweighted ? If so the sag should be 1.5 inch with you and your gear on the seat ....

Sp verses X running boards

I snow checked the X 165 for the yellow rails and yellow spindles. I snow checked a 154 SP so it won't be the same as my X and that white will look like crap after a few rides. I'm cutting the boards off both and upgrading the skid and shocks on both. And it's not that I am brand loyal to Ski Doo. I think the sleds look cooler than the other brands and I have yet to ride a Ski Doo that I think is going to handicap me vs any of the other brands. I have ridden every sled there is that isn't a 4 stroke.
Excellent illustration. Thank you!!
Yeah, I want to pound rocks and dodge flags. Hill climbs have nothing to do with backcountry riding!

Perhaps if all you do is spend time in the backcountry meadows and never climb any technical hills ... FYI almost all RMSHA riders are backcountry riders.
