Re: BRP - Carl Kuster Mountain Park ride

I'm a big guy and the suspensions were set up soft, and i pushed the 174 down the trail hard and fast and very bumpy, and i'm sure everyone that has driven these sleds are pushing them.... So far so good on them ;)

Re: BRP - Carl Kuster Mountain Park ride

Well just got back from Carl's and once again the ride did not disappoint. We had a great day on the T3's and it looks like there will be some new riders in the Doo camp next year. Had 1 guy stiff us on the ride so that sucked but the rest of the Bow Ridge Sports entourage had a ball! We rode Queest and got to see alot more of that area than the previous one time I rode there years ago. Unfortunately Carl was busy with BRP stuff but guides Phil and Tony Parise did not disappoint. Conditions were sticky 10 inch pow so any sled could go to the rafters but where I noticed a huge improvement was trail manners, holding a sidehill and initiating the sidehill. This sled rolls over far easier than a 14'. I cant believe that front suspension changes can make that much of a difference. The sled wheely'd quite a bit in that type of snow conditions as that track really hooks up. It would have been nice to try it in some deeper pow but wrong time of the year for that. Carl showed me his mod sled with the 3 lb hood the race shop sells. If you want to save 12 lbs of dead weight get your dealer to order one in for you. Thanks again to Carl and the staff of CKMP for another great adventure!

Looks like it will be a 174. That sled really impressed me how it doesn't feel like a big sled. Bring on the snow! Lol.

Just bring your gear and ride. You will need to bring your wallet for pre ride waivers and registration. Have fun!

Ummmmmm not sure, might just wait a year or two as I have 3 years warranty left and see if a bigger bore comes along


The front end is awsome , the skis are good for some, but I find with the deep keel they steer heavy and in more set up snow harder to counter steer to carve

Not sure what the vibration is from, the track being bigger, mine only vibrates some times and never in pow, and only in the boards

Where this was in the bars, boards ect
