Rob, you are going to have to give us the bike make/model your Camso is paired with?


I have two Camso 2018s paired with '08, 300 XCWs. No problems last winter but am curious to see what the '19 enhancements yield. They look minor on paper.

I would not expect a "huge difference in performance" as there are no huge changes. More like slight improvement and refinement

2016 ktm xc-f 350 with custom snow specific forks. Sorry I should have mentioned that


That means your forks are likely a little stiffer and that is what I found lacking in my '08 XCW set up last winter, so you should be in the right range. This year we're plumbing up some air valves to charge the forks for less dive in the deep snow (not needed in summer). I hear somewhere around 10-20 psi works well depending on stock spring rate.

They changed the ski a bit, they added a rising rate spring cam on the rail for the spring mount, looks like new shock valving, added some travel and additional sag don't know how much and looks like a new limiter strap system which sucked balls in 18 IMO and now the kit is black.

Evolution not revolution this year

I ordered a 2019 DTS129 last week. I shopped a lot, and even purchased a Mototrax but cancelled the sale...

Hoping for the best, first snowbike endeavor. Going on a CRF450R.

If it's as good or better as the 2018 DTS, the you have picked the winner and have some bucks left in your pocket for some fun mods to your bike. I have ridden quite a few combinations including a couple of $30K+ built bikes on the TS platform and for my money the camso wins every time
