Curious as to how long are your Duropros lasting?

My customers are telling me that if you don't actually lose them they last long for Polaris but not so long for the Ski-Doo. No idea if this is correct but repeated reports by different people is my perspective.

For Polaris we recommend putting a 1" panhead wood screw through the ski and in to the front of the rubber and also another through the ski and into the back of the rubber. They don't move then. If they move out of place they can get cut. This goes for our Polaris Ultimate Dampeners, stock or Durapros.

I ran the BRP ones and they lasted much longer than the stock Polaris ones ...then moved on to Durapro which only lasted about the same amount of time as the BRP ones ....had hoped for better results but they're tearing apart and at 3xs the price of the BRP not sure they're worth it ...fyi have added the ski bracing to keep the spindle holes from wearing / ovaling so the rubbers are likely getting heavier service

interesting, I only have ~150 miles on my khaos. The skis do tip down a bit when it’s the sleds on the lift. But nothing to crazy, I’ll look into those braces.

did you get them from a Canadian retailer?

We make the Gripper Ripper Braces and have the Polaris Ultimate Ski Dampeners. We are in Calgary.

We also tested the BRP dampeners but they are not as good as what we sell now.

The braces work great at minimizing ovaling of the bolt hole in which should keep skiis tighter and better damper performance. Without the braces the hole ovals in no time if your riding in anything but pure powder ...
