This is my 2015 ProRide RMK.

Let's see who has a keen eye and knows their sleds.

There are 7 mods. Some are easy to spot as mentioned by others but some are not as obvious.

1. Custom offset spindle (we were first to design offset spindles)
2. Axle with wheel (this was incorporated within the spindle design. (All OEM spindles should be designed this way, I have gone 2kms up a snowless trail with these)
3. Polaris Ultimate Ski Dampener. (Better ski control and lasts way longer than OEM)
4. 1" screw to hold dampener in place (pre-2016 spindles had a smaller foot and the ski dampener can move out of place easier, there is one in the rear too)
5. SS rivet in a-arm to reduce chance of separation (New forged A-arms don't need this but they are not as strong. Our Arm Candy braces help those out)
6. Gripper Ripper ski braces to reduce wear or tearing of the ski at the bushing.
7. This one is hard to see but I drill all my skis for drainage. (top left of skag bolt near spindle, this should be done for all brands)

What size hole do you drill for drainage? I had thought about that before but never did it.

i like the wheel idea, if a guy manufactured an aftermarket spindle and wheel kit might be pretty cool, even for around the yard slip on wheels are useless

or some sort if spindle specific kit that locks on tight. Like for the Expert etc.

Question is how many see the value as I do? Many guys won't spend a nickle unless it is for performance.
