Does anyone think that after you have just spent $600 bucks that these just dont do it in the powder.my self personely am putting on the stock skis. better handling, sims are the shhit on trails but these machines are not suppose to be on trails,and mine is not,and handles like a phat ckick on the whiskey.it always feels like i am fighting the sled, it whats to right it self. and that is not always good.

I have them on my M8 and it is day and night over stock. Going to take a little pressure off the front end , because it turns really quick. Just have to think about a turn and it is on its way.

check what ur suspension is set at the simmons are pretty aggressive....we have had really good luck with them... any issues it should be easy to resell them...

what do you have them on, and are u talking about the regular ones or the big wide gen2 ones?

Another vote for Simmons. I put them on at Christmas and have so far been very impressed. I find the steering effort is a little harder on the trail but they float 100 times better in the powder where it counts!

yeah i gotta say you must have put them on backwards or somethin cuz i got gen 1's on my nytro (cause the guys at T&T talked me out of gen 2's lol) and they are way better orver stock, they dont dart, they grab every corner tight and dont let go. however cant really say much about the deep snow ability just yet, havent rode it enough out west to say yay or nay on that, but on preliminary riding they seem just fine.

Had them on mine from day one and they are awesome over stock...although you have to lighten up ski pressure a little because they are aggressive

When they take my Simmons skis, they will pry them from my cold dead hands. I agree that the gen 1's are the way to go. Both gen 1 & gen 2's are cupped underneath to channel the snow in under the ski for lift in the powder. I'm very surprised that you don't like them. Check your toe out, They need a fair bit, like close to 3/8" when you measure 8" front and back. I sell a lot of them and can't remember one person that didn't like them. $600 is a little high for them as well, I sell'em for less than that.

I also have a pair on my REV and like others have said, absolutely love em'. Probably the best mod i've done to the sled to date was changing the skiis.

I'm in the "don't care for 'em" camp. I tried them on a S chassis mod and didn't like them. I like them on my F chassis Mach Z though. Haven't tried them on a Rev yet since the pilot 6.9's seem to work pretty good.

Don't like em. Had them on my 162" Nytro, went back to stock. Work better allround. I would like to try SLP powder skis.

Love em, had em on my Apex, now on my nytro, gen2's that is, might try the gen 1's though because its a little hard to pull my sled on its side and keep it there.

I have Gen 2's on my Nytro and love them. I tried new All Terrain Spindles with them on my Nytro and the handling is really heavy though. Going back to regular spindles and keeping the skis. My son prefers the stock skis. The stock skis handle pretty good but the flotation in deep snow with the Gen 2's is unmatched
