Dave is a great guy! Great stuff and is certainly an innovator to the smowmobile industry.

Those racks are spendy, his ramps look really nice though.

Yeah, all ski/board racks are pricey, most likely due to the limited production numbers involved. X-rack out of Utah is another manufacture. http://www.x-rack.com/index.php

good thread

I am glad someone started this thread. we are looking for three racks and don't really know what to do. I have heard that the Cheetah's are the best but appreciate feedback about them all.

Does ski doo still offer a board holder? I have a buddy who has one and it looks really simple. He has only used it once so far but said it seemed to work pretty well. Was just on the BRP site and couldn't find one.

Both systems have their pluses and minus's...
We have the X-rack, a number of our friends use the Cheetahs.

Our buddies that are using the Cheetahs to carry boards seem pretty happy with them, the guys carrying skis less so. On their racks, skis seam to bounce around a lot, no mater how tight the straps are. On the plus side: for the Cheetah (in my opinion) are weight, and the ski and board attaching hardware seems secure. On the minus side: Attachment does not promote quick removal of the rack, doesn't hold skis as securely.

We have had good luck with the X-rack. Skis and boards are held into yokes with two bungies on each side. This makes for quick transitions and they are easy to deal with wearing gloves. We did end up replacing the stock bungies with Shockles though. http://www.shockles.com/

On the plus side for the X-Rack: it can be quickly removed if we aren't bringing boards or skis, holds boards and skis very securely. On the minus side: weighs more then the the Cheetah, and the stock bungies will eventually fail.

THe BRP rack is a joke, don't bother.

I've used the cheetah rack and it works great. Only problem is that it is not removeable.

Now i just use a $20 ATV Gun rack. works fine. nothing fancy.

Thanks for the info guys. Very informative PassRev.

ATV gun racks for skis work pretty good and are cheap. You just can't go 90 down the trail and take big drops. They come off very easy as well so when you are "sleddin" they aren't in the way. Probally won't work for snowboards though.

Do you have a picture you could post, I would like to see what that rig looks like. Thanks!

CFR snowmobile racks and accessories

The CFR Dual ski brackets hold skis and poles as tight as you need when the straps are adjusted to the right lengths. Please contact me @ dave@cheetahfactoryracing.com if you are having problems and i can explain how to do that. To remove the racks requires an 11 mill open end wrench and a ratchet driver with a ll mill socket. Takes a few minutes. Put an 11 mill socket on a electric/cordless drill and an open end wrench and it takes 30 seconds. I hope this clears things up and any more questions or problems please post it up here or contact me directly.

Thanks,

Dave@CFR

here's a pic of the Xrack installed on my 02 Summit... so far so good!

PassRev · Dec 13, 2007

No confusion Dave...
Just our observations having experienced both systems over several seasons.

Both models look solid, spendy though.
Looks like the X-Rack may work better on my son's Mountain max because of the coolers.

Here is what i did on my vector. Bungee's work great but make sure you carry extra's with you.

Both systems work great.
