Planning on buying new skis for the new freeride to get them in manta green. Wondering if I should upgrade to the ds-3's or stick with the the ds-2's
Freeride pilot ds-2 or ds-3

It seems like most guys prefer the 2's...longer tracks benefit from the 3's but they can almost be too aggressive on 154 or shorter.
Get the ds2's. when the snow is crusty the 3's dig in and feels really twitchy and then flips over. Did It to me twice and my riding buddy once.

Thanks, anyone had experience with the adventure bumpers from brp? Love the look of them just wonder how much protection they really provide
Wish somebody made a decent ski in Manta Green. The Ski-doo version suck! Tried riding the stock DS-3 on my T3 for about 5 rides. POS! Sled nose dives unpredictably. Went back to Powder Pro's. Need something close to 7" on powder sled. 6" just isn't wide enough BRP! I hope you are listening and come up with a DS-4 that is wider.
Ordered a 2018 850 in Octane blue would love to keep that color ski. Don't think I will be able to live with under performing ski's.

I snowchecked the freeride and it'd be nice to have the manta green skis. I can get bumpers powdercoatwd but the manta green adventure ones look killer but I can't tell from pictures how much they support up front. And how much they weigh. May either just keep stock skis for now or go with an aftermarket white ski

this sounds almost exactly like what caused me to wreck my foot last year while climbing a hill in crusty snow on my 2015 T3... sled flipped and i landed on the track feet first... not fun
I did it first coming from a ditch to the trail then on a bog below the hill were we playing on I was going about 50-60kph and I just went right over the bars and the sled flipped, broke my visor on my helmet, was a bit dizzy after but fine in the end.
I put on the slp mohawks. They are a improvement over stock. the ds 3 would dig in on down hill turns in our wet heavy snow jamming wrists almost throw you over the bars. The mohawks are less aggressive than the powder pros which I usually run. Thinking there are a lot better options on skis out there than the stockers. Check with your buddies that ride the same snow as you.
