Anyone using adjustable weights in their 2020? Which ones are the easiest/have the most adjustment? I don't have that big of a range of elevations or conditions. I ride mostly between 3000-6000 but i have a few trips in the 6000-8000 range.

A set of slp magnum force weights would work for all those elevations. They perform about the same as stock weights, and there easy to adjust in the sled with a Allen wrench and set screws.

I just installed MDS into my '20. Super easy to install and Steve is great to deal with and he set me up for 3-6,000Ft. I ran them in my '15 and it really woke that sled up. Riding this weekend to test against my buddies '18.

Be sure to report back here when you test them. I've been considering mds for my '20

I have Mds in my 20. I ride 6k and have 90 miles of trail breaking in a foot of fresh. Pretty spot on. Once we get real snow i can tell you more. What do you have to lose? Money back promise.

I’ve ran ssi, CPC and MDS in the past. Although I think Steve’s Mds stuff works great I’m not 100% sold on the profile compared to stock. The Slp magnum force are basically An adjustable stock weight that is easy to adjust. CPC are a pain because the set screws need to be loc tited which makes them too difficult to adjust for me. Same with Mds and ssi as you have to adjust them from the side which either requires the weight be removed or some major skill. I have no affiliation with any company but for me the Slp weights are my favorite.

CPC comes with a locktite on the threads but you don't have to add anything extra. in fact instructions say to lube the threads if needed. I found them pretty easy to adjust in the field. no loc tight, just bottom them out tight as per instruction.
I did grind 1/10 gram off of one to match the others on my scale. like stock weights.

MDS. Give Steve a call. Customer service is great. If your on the fence just call him and ask him any questions or concerns you may have.

Ran the weights on Saturday in 2-3Ft of fresh powder all day..... Sled would not pull more then 7900 rpm and no more then 8100 on the groomed trail. Will be taking out a bit of weight and looking to add a different sec spring to see if this helps.
