interesting that the stock damper only covers half the spindle on the outside positions when the system is designed for adjustability.

It works, but not as good as it does with stiffer and wider ski rubbers for sure....been like this for a long time, like the small stuff its expensive to change and an easy upgrade through aftermarket

yep, I’ve been running the sala king dampers for a few years now after blowing out a factory damper from a relatively mild hit.

Totally agree on washout with the T-Motion. Love it, not sure why Skidoo needs to get ride of it.

I think some of the problem with the t-motion is when the rear suspension is relaxed it is limited in movement. But one compressed there is even more movement.

some riders have troubles adjusting to the change in T-motion flex change when there going through the roops with rear suspension compression cycles.

I'm am going to give the skis a try without the wider tip this season. Theoretically, it should make them less prone to turning uphill.

Not to knock the SK's, but it would be cool if you tried/promoted the two Canadian made versions instead of the Russian one.
Sorry I go with what works! I don't care where its made and I love Russia, many friends from there and who live there.

My favorite is the guys who say the sled is unrideable with it, all the while they are saying there are unreal riders. The best thing you have as a rad riders is your ability to adjust to ever chainging conditions. The other funny thing is Chris Branht talks about the wonky rear end on a ski doo, he uses a carbon rear skid, next time you have one on the table twist the back rails, it moves more than t-motion as if it did not it would crack, that is the best part of all this. All the t-motion drama is a couple of guys saying it sucks then everyone acting like it is to sound cool. Sledding is a funny sport, its run by ego instead of common sense a lot of the time

Ya I’m not a fan of it either. I liked my g5 expert with no t-motion way more than every other doo I’ve ridden. I’m 210 lbs, I do not need assistance getting the sled on edge lol. But for some guys it works excellent and definitely has its place in their lineup
