I am wondering if that flex track works as well as advertised?

hard to tell in sicamouse with 3 feet of snow. but on the hardpack around the allan creek cabin it sure works. cant wait to really test it this season. will shine in marginal snow

I rode the 2013 at Karl clusters camp in sicamose last March. The combination of the flex track and the t motion made a crazy difference. There were 10 of us guests on the ride and we all snow checked X's for this year!!!
I have had a 10,12 and now 13 they just keep getting better!

It does flex. On harder packed snow the flex track combined with the t-motion reduces the rider input required for off camber movement and laying the sled over.

The fiberglass rods are 12" long if I remember correctly leaving 2" on other side that flexes. If you are simply looking to upgrade the track to gain the flex, the t-motion would be a better investment to gain the effectivness of the XM, especially in deeper snow. The flex track shines on hard packed.

As the temps drop the flex is reduced as the track compound is stiffer.
