M-series owners please read!!!!

Just a quick thank you to Tyler over at Nexxtech. They installed a Chris Burandt Backcountry upgrade pkg in the rear skid of my M1000, and all I can say is wow! This is the best suspension upgrade I've seen for the M-series, in fact it transfers weight better and has a plusher ride then my wife's Holz skid with fox float shocks (they are going to be revalved by Nexxtech by the
weekend). Tyler offered great service with a quick turnaround time, and the end result is nothing short of awesome. It's nice to see good service, and good product that lives up to the claims.

What did you have in mind for pics??? They revalve your stock 08-010 rear skid shocks - looks identical to stock, but performs much better. You want pictures of wifey's Holz rear skid???

yup like to see pics of the holz set up its not as good as your new set up with the revalve shocks hummm sounds cheaper to revalve my shocks :d

Do people really spend $2000 on a skid to make it wheely MORE. I thought guys who ran lots of power wanted these aftermarket skids to keep their skis DOWN.

The reason I own a Holz Skid is that the 07 M1000 skid was nose heavy, and didn't get up on the snow like I thought it should (I was riding rev's previously). In any case, there is a difference between letting yout limiter out so it wheelys as opposed to revalving your suspension for your weight and riding style, and getting the desired weight transfer and track hookup. A rear suspension with poor weight transfer will spin and trench, as will one with too much weight transfer. It's all about balance. A KTM 450 may work great for a 160 lb rider, not so much for the guy who is 240 lbs. Most sleds are designed for the "average sized" rider. I'm not average, so I have to adjust or change to fit my weight and size. Same goes for lighter riders - they may find an M8 is way to stiffly sprung, and handles the rough trail like a stoneboat (which they do, stock). The revalve is a way to get the best of both worlds - a suspension that works great in the backcountry and on the trail to get to it.
