No kidding. Like 2or5 degrees is really going to make a difference. When there is any type if snow any sled is easy to carve but when it's marginal snow all sleds suck to carve. Lol

By 'everyone' he is talking about the EZ Ryde Carve skid, and the Ice Age Promotion.

does racers edge and toms not have a tmotion arm?

i would bet almost all aftermarket skid manufacturers will have something similar coming down the pipe if they want to stay in the game

Hadn't seen those guys yet. I agree that it is likely going to filter through the aftermarket. I'm actually really surprised it happened so quickly. Doesn't BRP not have some sort of patent on it, or would it only cover their specific design, and the other companies are coming up with their own design to do the same thing?

Yes Tom's was the first one out with one, Racers Edge has one and I thought that Timbersled did too?

Doesn't Tom's just make stuff for Doos anyway? So, it is built around T-motion or is it their own version of T-motion?
I thought he branched out and was offering his E-motion for other brands but can't find anything on his site right now even for Doo's.

I would think at some point the track is going to limit the amount of flex as well paddle height. As it sits, my old style 3" camo rubs the tunnel when at full flex with just the stock t-motion. I know doos new 3" tracks paddles are offset in a little most likely to stop this. But with 10 degrees of rotations to one side I would think there is contact.
