New Kmod Skid

[MidwestBoondocker]

Can’t believe there is no talk about this new skid from kmod on here yet? I haven’t rode an alpha but this seems like a pretty cool deal for my expert.

Wonder how that works with the skidoo track? Haven’t really seen any details on it yet other then this pic

At 15K to 20K for a new toy, I think aftermarket upgrades are falling to the wayside, for the vast majority of owners anyways. They'll always be the faction that goes the extra mile, and God bless them, however, as a whole all the manufacturers have created sleds that are light years ahead of where they were even in the recent past, I think most of us could admit that our current sleds are way more capable than we are as riders. For the average rider aftermarket mods have become irrelevant...

It won't work with doo track. Have to run an alpha track which is better anyway.

I thought the Alpha rail was patented against duplication.

Assuming they can get around it because that is a 2 rail skid even though that is how the alpha skid started.

Ya that's what I was thinking. It'd be weird if Arctic Cat didn't cover their asses with the patent though.. god knows they have a lot of experience on the matter.

I would think it can somehow be used with the stock track. Otherwise your swapping drivers and have to have custom ones made? If it involves all of that count me out but if I can just swap skids this would be really sweet to try out

I'm not sure how you figure you can run this skid without the Alpha track, and the appropriate drivers. ?‍

Not sure. Guess I’ve never really looked at the alpha track or skid that close

Think about where your rails are located now, and the clips and windows in the track associated with it. Now, think about an alpha rail running down the center of your track.. that's going to wear down your track very quickly. hence why the alpha track has clips and windows running down the center of the track. It is also the only track available in this configuration.

Completely blanked on that part. Duhhh.

Drops into the Alpha. They'll have to offer kits for doo and poo, with the PC. On the snow already. The results in other tunnels with the PC should be fun to hear. Kmod might be selling a few of these, gotta love capitalism...

Such an elaborate and expensive solution to a problem that does not exist.

can't the same be done to a large extent with the adjustable limiter strap? i know changing from short to long on my sled makes a definite difference especially when climbing. cost was around 4 hrs of my time and 120 bucks.
