heres a good pic of standing forward.if you stood farther back it might wheelie and roll down the hill.LOL:face-icon-small-coo
WHAT will you mod first on your new Gen4 ?

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.

nice looking sled.:face-icon-small-ton
I've already done it.
When you talk about the what ifs??? They are not issues. It's literally like going from a 01 to a XM in potential on the steep technical stuff.

Lol, the bull, you can't ride it for 8 second s

There are some good pics of the back and front, I never real got that far forward but if I needed to there was still enough grip. The back was nice with stirrups and a tiny bit more width, you can actually use it

How do you feel the t-motion and flex edge track works for you with narrow boards?
Worked fine with the boards out of the way, I could go either way but would rather have a 3" powerclaw.
The biggest thing was it needed rear skid down pressure. When you can hold that step of a line and tail squats it wants to climb instead of cutting across the hill. With pressure it is easier to control the sidehill. But with wide boards the squat helps wheelie and lift the boards out, so it's a good thing on stock boards but a bad thing once you open the potential with narrow boards.
Also, being able to hold a line that steep it could use s some more steering when counter steering on a steep hill. You can hold a hill steep enough with the ski at full lock but the are still pointing up, you want them to be able to go horizontal and maybe a little more.
My cat would go past 60* which looks like 90.

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

at 1:24 i would have nailed that drift at 8000 rpm and then whipped it to the right downhill.cant be afraid to scratch your sled.LOL

Forgot the link, fixed it
DEE-STROOOOOYYYYYYED it.

Bm fab boards, speed shop Inc clutching and helix, Zbroz/exit shocks and springs, silber turbo? Maybe start w all but turbo first. Already has big bore power prob change the bars and riser set up... Not a fan of huge risers rather be close to the sled and it's weight.

Dropping the bars is a nut on a skinny sled
