2022 Expert 34 Inch Front End Thoughts

[ziggity]

My G4 is so flickable i really dont see the need to go any narrower without some other changes, its so easy to roll its almost sloppy with the tmotion. Really hope doo goes to the lynx skid for '23 as i really dont want to change brands.

On my Xm or any my sleds I measure center of spindle to center spindle. Being 36in on 14' Xm Summit X. I don't use the skidoo pacers I have 2 spacers like the Polaris has and I set the skis on my Xm and 04' Rev Summit center to spindle not offset in or out. Feels better to me.
Snowchecked a 2022' summit X and might do same but gonna ride it stock before I change any suspension wanna feels like baseline.

I agree, they steer weird with the offset spacers. Been centering mine for years with Poo spacers, thankfully they now come with two spacers per ski. But again, I am confused, why measure the spindle spacing instead of carbide? Carbide is center of ski. I guess if you are centered on the spindle, you are good, but a lot of guys will measure with offset skis and not get it.

I agree, center ski to center skis is pivot, tipping point.
Width of ctc spindle can come into play but mostly a different like a couple inches per side not 34-36 which is only an in when on edge.

I build some 34" (spindle C to C) a-arms for my 15' cat back when it was new. It made that sled really fun and playful in technical riding. Was a huge difference going to 34" from the 38" Cat had on that model year. Its pretty tippy on the trails though, but I dont ride mountain sleds for trails. Think the 34" arms will be a good upgrade on my 20.5 turbo.

Skidoo has had stock 36in stance since the 12' Etec Xp,
Then 13 Xm to present Summits, until the 2022 Expert 34in for next season

If you center the spacer on the 34" front end, it will be at 35" "effective" so really close to the 36" at the most narrow setting but at least with the benefits of being centered (less feedback + better ski rubber performance and durability)

how much ?

Anyone have part numbers for the 34 inch upper, lower a arms and tie rods?

Im getting over COVID ... Life in the big city sucks need set of A arms for 850

I'd just get Zrp offset spindles, they correct some geometry issues also,
