First off, its Silber ;)

Kits are in development. Everything is fab'd up. We are in the process of tuning now!

We'd rather delay the kit a few weeks and be confident in the map than rush this. Its coming. Expect some videos in the next 2 weeks.

Just got done shooting this weekend with the crew. I'll post the edit up as soon as I'm done.

Kit is running strong, kits will be shipping starting this week.

I was able to ride their demo this weekend in Togwotee and It was impressive. 7 lbs of boost pulled hard on top and super crisp down low. Got out of the turbos after a couple rough running ones 6-8 yrs ago. I think it is time to get back into the game.

What weights and springs do you run?
What gearing do you run?

looks great sounds good! was that a stock skid in the sled? looked pretty planted and controllable.

Yeah, dead stock skids.

honestly, the snow was super weird. Main reason thinks looked more planted than maybe they otherwise would was the fact that you'd dig down far enough and just hit the ground. Lol.

I'm running a K-Mod skid this year. Can't wait.

As far as weights/springs, basically the same as the Axys 800 - except we are running the 42 deg helix (stock) and 2 extra grams across the board.

Your gonna love how Kevin @ K-Mod skid responds to the Turbo.

Even after putting on a 3" P/C track this season with the K-Mod- it stays pretty well planted.

Kevin is coming out with a front arm tunnel relocation bracket kit to even further push the nose down on the Axys, as the boost goes up.

Just put the skid on - with the front arm relocation. Kevin is the man. I can't wait to try it!

Just one update - those who have kit, consider running 1-2 grams more than our chart suggests, at least to start. Also, keep that belt deflection as tight as you can.

Clutching

JJ,

Are the clutch kits on par these days, besides adding a few grams? I know a few years ago, they needed improvement, right out of the box, just to keep the belts on. Are the kits Indy Specialties quality? Thanks.

First off I'm not knocking silber...that said their clutch kits are not on par with Indy specialties ( not even close), and probably never will be. They build a badass turbo with really good mapping. Their clutch kit is designed to get you on the snow and it works for some riders. I ran their clutching last year and it worked, but I ate a lot of belts and left a lot of performance on the table. I went with Indy dans set up (similar to TRS) and I have a whole different sled this year. My sled really is an arm stretcher now and I couldn't be happier with silbers mapping and indys clutching. Wish they would supply his kit with their turbos!
