Good. the DS 4' suck. Too much ski in front of the spindle.
Funny, I noticed after buckling the upper a arm… when my left ski was about 1.5” further back… it felt like it handled better on that ski vs the right at full length.

I was wondering if that was what the Freeride spindle did last year, bring the ski under the spindle more?

I see them changing the Freeride constantly, almost like BETA testing for the future?

I also can’t find anything on the “new ski”

@Caper11 did you see this? Or just a new part number?

Thanks!

I have had some fantastic long gravel ride's this year with the low snow and miscalculation while parking. My skis will be getting replaced next year with DS 3s.

From what I understand the back of the ski is trimmed narrower to provide less feedback on the bars when sidehilling. I seen it in the snowest vid.

Full details will be released on the 22nd

Nothing in the 2025 that is going to bring anyone running. Guessing new sled sales are going to be pretty dismal over the next year or so. At least were getting a nice frunk again for the G5. i missed mine off my G4. I cant believe doo hasn't stepped up with the buddy tracking on the $1500 gauge. I noticed Cat is the same, no buddy tracking. At least a lot of people are running Trail Tech, and realizing you can them on all your toys instead of paying $1500 for Crap sled gauge that is just frustrating to look at.

CAT has buddy tracking, apparently doesn't work in canada yet but they do have it, they are using a Garmin instead of reinventing the wheel

My sales guy said there's a lot of 24's sitting at dealers still. That's going to drive down the price on the used 24 market. Looking like I'll keep my 24 for a couple years at this rate. Still sitting on a 22 turbo that wont sell. Can't afford to have a 22, 24, and 25 :D

Be kinda like if BCA Tracker couldn't locate Barryvox, and vice versa really.

no one seems to be talking about the 3yr warranty on turbos for 2025. Makes the price increase alot easier to swollow!
It's good to see that back. The sales and tech teams should talk. Hard to find some of this info... I did a couple builds, and there was no mention of warranty in the summary.

I'm excited about this new seat.

The seat is an accessory from what I could tell. It looks a bit taller than the X seat, which the vertically challenged guys might not like.

It definitely is,
Then when the new engine comes out in 2026 it will be back to two again like before when the turbo R was released.


You should edit this before someone makes a meme about what you just said!
