Nytro billet aluminum A-Arms
- Thread starter MIKEinc
- Start date
not trying to be negative, as they look AWSOME an the design looks to really be well braced/strong, BUT I see the lower ones building up SO much snow/ice that the weight would be gained back instantly.. not sure thought, could be wrong. they do look sick.

Very good point man, constructive criticism is what they're looking for. They have a few different styles. I'm trying to get them to do Doo arms but i'm just doing some market research first as to not waste time and money. They'll build em for me if it's worth it. They're thinkin $2200 CDN a set. I think thats a little steep but....who knows.
I like em. But $2200? What's all included? Does it come with shocks and spindles too? Or is it $2200 for just what's pictured?

Arms, bushings, rod ends. No spindles or shocks.
that is a lot of dough when you compare it to other kits that are in the 1k and lower range. The spindle sucks on the nytro, as the bearings and bushings that it uses are weak and prone to failure, not to mention that they are expensive too.

Yeah, thats what I was thinkin. They do cure the bearing and bushing problem but at that price, is it worth it? I guess maybe if they built spindles and included them in the kit. Not really a Yammy guy, whats wrong with the stock spindles?
1 piece, billet aluminum arms...about 5 lbs lighter, 1.5 times stronger. Any interest? How much would you pay?
Send me a set and I will do some testing for you.
The stock spindle and bushing was just poorly designed and is pretty much junk.
They look really nice but like ruffy said you can get a Z-Broz front end which includes a arms, spindle, bushings and exit x1 shocks (arguably the best shocks around) for under 2k. But I do like the look of the billet a arms! Good luck with them.

I am an engineer and currently designing some snowmobile products and I will say the quality of these are amazing, BUT unfortunately that is not everything and especially with sleds. Like others have mentioned the first thing I thought was WOW, second was that is going to build up a lot of snow, and third they look really expensive.
For arm type of structures I strongly believe chomoly welded tube structures are anyone's best bet. They are very light weight, cheap to build, and super strong, while at they same time keeping any snow from building up.
I am pretty sure chomoly arms are roughly 1/4 the cost.

Did I mention they look bad azz!

also just curious why the stock spindles and so bad. I have seen these sleds and they look good but I have not owned one so just curious what wrong with them.
Those are probably some of the coolest looking arms out there. BUT another thing to think about is if they are 1.5 times stronger than stock, what happens when you hit something? Instead of taking out an a arm you now wreck the subframe and slightly tweak the arm. That sounds like a pretty expensive repair instead of replacing 2 arms.
I think the point was that there is a lot of cross bracing. If the snow isn't super blower, and has some moisture in it, it will clump and collect on top of the a-arm much more easily then a more open design.
As to the impact of them being anodized, it will be interesting to see which is more important, the anodizing or the amount of cross bracing?
They are the top of the line and it is designed as a "system" too..

that is definitely steep, as they have to ahve a compelling reason to not go with the other options...
One way to do that, and address what hayden mentions is, the coating used on them (i.e. not to have them anodized) there are some coatings that sluff snow, and wont allow it to build up...that would be a value add for sure..
