Just saw him race this weekend live for the first time, amazing rider. Apart from testing his race sleds, wondering if anyone knows what sled setup he runs - was trying to google it. Assume its a 155 with 2.6" and BD turbo?

Google search snowest and KC711.

Browse all posts by Kieth.

You should be able to get a good guess by what stock parts he has been selling in snowest classifieds.

Pretty sure Keith won't share what he runs in his clutches or how he sets up his shocks.

Could be wrong, but what Keith put out there looks like what BD recommends for clutch kits.

Could be fuzzy pixles or mohawk nubs on that left ski. ��

The water to air intercooler bulkhead heat exchanger is visible though.

All of his clutching is done by Kurt's Polaris.

I know but...he only suggests a good "starting point" for the backcountry set up.

Racer's DON'T share their race set-up secrets.

I looked at his sponsor page. I'm not so sure of that.

It wouldnt matter if you jumped on his personal sled. Most of us would still look like beginners compared to the way he rides.

Suppose it might have changed, but that's coming from Keith last year. And he still has Curt working on his sleds all the time.

Agreed, he would probably rip on anything, and 99% is rider input. Was just curious as there is always a ton of coverage on burandt and adams sled setups. Not much to share on the race setup obviously, but was curious what he likes to run for "fun". If the short answer is that he is just tuning/testing race sleds, that's fine.

Im curious what your trying to figure out?

He has numerous sleds, NA, Turbo, race sleds. Often they are out riding race sleds in the backcountry for fun and setup/testing.

Ah, was getting to the whole 155 vs 163, 2.5 vs 3.0 track. I think your second point sums it up. thx.
