having trouble with darting on my 2017 mountain cat. Front shocks set at 75lbs rear skid at 160 and front skid at 100. does anyone have any suggestions to what it would work better. I weigh 250 with all gear, ride powder most and hill climb.

Your skid is setup a little stiff IMO. Probably giving a bit too much ski pressure. Try 140 main chamber 160 evol chamber in the rear track shock, 60 main chamber 125-150 evol chamber on front track shock. I'm 260lb before gear and I run 80 in the front main chamber and 130-140 in the evol on a 38" front end.

I felt my dads 2017 MC darted around where mine held a line wherever it was pointed. Biggest difference I can see is his had stock skis and I'm running powder pros.

Cat thinks that darting is key when they design the ski. Been terrible that way since the m7. I run slp slt ski and it cures this problem. They work well about anywhere. Too narrow to run on 4 strokers, but work well for me on the 2 strokes.
