Sledder Series - Sala King Ski Bushings

I have been a big proponent of the durapro bushings the last couple years. Curious to hear how these compare.

I’m also a bit concerned, due to the hardness, about damage to the bushing and/or ski in a big impact.

I'm assuming these only fit in the Pilot Skis?

Dave: Doo you know how these differ from theDuraPro ski bushings?

Also, the DuraPros are made in the USA. Doo you know where the Sala Kings are made?

Thanks.

This is from the Ride Rasmussen website:

This ski stop will fit all gen 4 Ski Doo Summit from 2017 and up. Must retain OEM ski.

They do differ, the best is to hit Razzmataz up, he and his buddies from Russia made these. He can let you know the difference. Cheers

@Norona , in the back of my memory I think I remember seeing some bulletproof intake vents made by the same company. Do you know anything about that? Availability?

There have been numerous solutions available on the market for years - why isn't BRP correcting such a well known issue?

I use the Munster ski bushing spacers on my 19 but admittedly have never had an issue before or after install.

Yes intake vents made from Sala, bullet proof maybe because there made of steel, bought some and figured too heavy compared to the Xtremeairvents.com
His are carbon fiber wrapped with the mesh.....just my .02

same as something as simple as the crappy brake lever, it cost a huge amount of money to do a simple change and that money is spent on bigger things that guys will appreciate, it is easy for aftermarket to quickly build something as they do not have to go through the testing OEM has to endure. I can imagine the comments now if ski-doo came out with 2023 and it was a new brake lever and better bushings....be a field day for all the negative nelly's which could be fun to I guess. Like you stated, in all the years i have only had one bushing pop upon elevatoring down onto a big tree...so not really a huge issue, but i do like the fact that these bushings cover the entire surface area.
