Gimmick??

Nope, we get a lot of guys wanting for their 154 3 inch track sleds to calm the front end down, before buying one u can try sucking up the limiter strap up and the sled will side hill better but it won’t initiate up on edge as easy as it will on Hole 3 , the adjustable limiter strap allows u to have two set ups, one for steep trees and one for other things like pow carving. Instead of stopping and changing the limiter strap you just twist the adjuster knob and it changes it by 2 holes

Changing limiter strap
setting make a huge difference in where a sled will climb and how it handles. This is a good idea but would be nice if it was built heavier, One sled in our group has one. Always park on a bump to collapse front skid suspension when changing setting, and be very careful on cold days when everything is frozen.

I'll second this, had the older style on my sled and it doesnt work very well. the mechanism underneath the doesnt seem strong enough to hold the strap on the "short" setting, you can manually pull it down with your hand.

I have this remote adjuster on my new sled (2018 Summit 175). After my first day (about 115 km) the mechanism mounted on the skid isn’t working. When I came home the strap was stuck in the short position regardless of how I turned the knob mounted to the riser. I compressed the front part of the suspension and was able to rotate the small shaft in the skid to the long position by hand, but now the adjuster knob won’t shorten the strap. I don’t know if others are having similar troubles, but to me it appears this mechanism is poorly/inadequately designed.

this was something i would have done when i upgrade next year. disappointing it doesn't work, hopefully they redesign it and actually test it.

An update to my comment from three days ago: my sled is in a heated garage, and all of the ice has melted. I disconnected the strap associated with this adjuster, reset the length of the cable which moves the arm, and now when I turn the knob mounted on the handlebars the mechanism is working properly. After reconnecting the limiter strap, I noticed the movable arm in this adjuster will "flip" its position only as the suspension cycles between being extended and being compressed.

Mine does the exact same thing. Remote limiter strap IMO is a waste of money. Great idea, poorly executed.

Isn't that how it is supposed to work, i.e., you can turn the knob but it won't actually change the setting until you compress the skid?

Maybe, but it doesnt hold the strap to the "short" position with the lever/handle. you can manually grab the strap from the tensioner and pull it down to the "long" position with relative ease, basically negating the "short" setting rendering the design fairly useless.
