Negative as far as I know. All the demos were a bit different and I don't want to gamble on that even if I could get my hands on one. Others could be building off of dimensions or demos I guess, nothing like having the real thing sitting here though.So as of TODAY, are there ANY vendors that have a set of boards ready to rock and roll for the Gen4 ?
Way to wide!
I took 3" off both sides of my XM.
Not a single complaint from anyone that rode it, but they couldn't figure out how in the heck just boards made e that sled so good.
Yeah, i totally agree with you that narrow boards is the way to go as far as technical riding goes!
Last winter i rode a Axys pro 155" 3" and i also have a T3 174. And the first thing i noticed when jumping back on the t3 trying to play in the same technical terrain as with my axys, is the big amount of drag the wide boards create on the xm-chassis. With the wide boards the snow pressure under the belly pan and the boards just lifts your skis up from the snow, and the track tends to push the sled the way your boards point (in most cases up/climbing)
The first years with the xm i was convinced that "washout" was created by the tmotion and flexedge track, but after a year on the narrow axys chassis im possitive that a narrow belly pan and boards are essential for a deep snow sled!
The drag is reduced significantly and the skis can do their job as their supposed to do.
And thas why im a bit disappointed about ski-doo not putting narrow boards on their new deep snow toy.
And i agree about more steering to get the front end down also would make it quite a bit better in the tech terrain.

At 1.24 you can see the boards drag, lifts the skis and the track is pussing the sled the same direction as the running boards are pointing.
Yep, only option is to wash, correct, wash correct, or jump back and wheelie across the hill. Not the best way to ride technical terrain.

This was in 15 on my 14.
They key thing to watch is how I never once jerk the sled or throw my body weight. Everything is done with throttle, brake and counter steering. The hill is much steeper than it appears.
My 16 and XM I built would have made it look even easier
