hey guys a buddy of mine bought a 19 hardcore recently and hates it, he says its awful to ride and 10x harder then doos and poos hes compared with on the same day. He rides very well and this isnt what we were expecting to happen.

im thinking his suspension settings are out of whack, does anyone have a setup for a light rider 150 ish lbs in the trees?

If cat sets the HC spring shocks up anything like they do the floats I can understand why. The ski shocks on my Alpha had a little over a hundred lbs in each of them. I could not imagine riding with that much pressure in the ski shocks.

I also have a 19 hardcore.

I just set everything to middle. I’ve had no complaints.

Did great in stomach deep snow, I am 6’2 , and really good when coming off back country riding to roads.

Sled just went thunk, planted, then went. This was 5-6’ drops.

I had no problems.
