What's every ones opinion on best all around functioning ski's for the 850. My stock tips folded up in second ride. I come from a few poo's and I like the grippers but I'm not real happy with the ride angle using G4 ski rubbers. I've run c&a's in the past liked every thing but rail road tracks and trailers, thought powder pros were good but sketchy on inconsistent snow. Need some thing other than stock help a brotha out

I centered my skis which seems to be the best improvement I have made.

Like the grippers too but did not really notice a difference with them.

How did you center them? Curious where you got the spacers...

C & A BX is what I have been running. They are way stiffer the stock DS3 ski, but steer a bit harder on groomed trail (who cares about that). I have heard good things about the SLP Mohawk on the ski doo, never owned a pair though. Would like to try them.

I believer you can just buy the Polaris version and they will work. I purchased a couple pairs a few years ago that were not Polaris but the same idea.

You can just cut the stock ones in half.

Sly dog powder hounds 8" like having power steering .

They float instead of dive and saved my frond end more than a few times by bouncing over stuff. I like the fact that they lift and go instead of dive and dig.
You for sure have to keep them in the narrow position as the ski is a bit wider. They have been my go to for ever since they came out. Halve of our riding group uses them.
