I ALMOST like the old rail profile on the 175. The new profile isn't as "playful" as the old one. On 154 sleds, the new profile is 200% better. The 174/175 sleds always held sidehills well, especially with the different rear geometry. Noticed tonight that the 175 feels a bit more like a LONG sled than last year's. Not a bad thing, it will excel at what it is meant for.
2019 new rail profile.

Munster, like it a lot. Been seeing that they may cause some breakage of stock parts because they are so rigid. If I break a lower scissor arm, I will do something else. It won't happen in fluffy soft snow. Spring snow big jumps I could see it. Munster wouldn't make me a dealer, so I bought a few at full price and resold them in the US for $20 over what I paid. Not sure why. The install is a bit tricky, they pretty much tell you to hammer the old bushing out and hammer the new one in. If they don't go in straight they bind. I made a puller out of a bolt, socket, spacers, and nut that presses them in perfectly. After realizing that a c-clamp doesn't work, as the arm that the part is being pressed into is not square on both sides.
I can’t imagine what a 146x3 would be like.....
Probably about like a short wheelbase 500 cc 2 stroke dirt bike.

My 14 146 Freeride was more than a hoot to ride. I had to get used to riding up through trees totally vertical!
It’s a rodeo for sure. Takes a different approach, looking and planning ahead, and carrying more momentum more than the bus length sleds. Waaay more track speed on spring days than the longer tracks though. Gotta watch the vert for sure though.

Love my 18 165 only beef is when it gets steep and I dont have enough momentum is wheelies and trenches bad. But it's so fun every where else I don't know if I'd change anything. Wish there was a cheap solution to keep the front end down on the steep while keeping the handling while boondocking the same.

Adjustable limiter strap? Z motion? I think theres a few options that could provide what you are looking for.
