Interesting! Are the hiem joints designed to fail upon impact? I feel like a lot of Gen4 riders are looking for ways to avoid a bulkhead replacement.
Alt Impact has this no?
What benfits are you finding with lengthening the height of the upper ball joint?
We added the spacer to the top of the spindle to keep the lower and upper arms parallel, it helps with bump steer.
The heim(ball) joints we use are pretty strong, but form all our other kits we have built and sold, they routinely are the part that fail the first, mostly we have had them bend. There a easy off the shelf replacement.
The "kit" as it sits right now in the pictures is set to 35.5" but with the ski spaces the kit can be set to 34". For the more adventurous the heim(ball) joints can be threaded in further to further narrow the front end. The turning radius is also increased by 10deg. Our kit for the proclimb also increased the turing radius by 10deg going from that to the stock G4 was like going from a car to a school bus!
Its also a +5" forward design like all our other kits.
35 inches wide and 5 forward. Are you guys trying to compete with the snowbikes?
Do you have any website? Whats the name of the front end and when is it ready for shipping? Does it acts like a ac at sidehilling when it is 5” forward?
Been hoping you'd come up with something for the G4. I know on your kit for the Proclimb you needed to trim some o the bulk head to fit the tie rods. That would be deal breaker for me, if the cast bulk head needed to be cut. Its already pretty sensitive.
Remember prototype stage.
But for what its worth, the top of the spindle is on a angle not flat. So by adding the spacer it helps with the size of the upper arm, giving us more space for the shock. We realize that bump steer maybe not on the top of the list. But any little bit of advantage we can add to when the sled may be on trail. We'll take.
The ski stance acts like it does on the stock set up.
