skidooboy Posted January 12, 2024 Share Posted January 12, 2024 Bring back the dual rail suspensions, as an option, for at least the crossover segment. puleeeeease!!!! Ski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowowl Posted January 12, 2024 Share Posted January 12, 2024 The crossover sleds (Riots) all have dual rail skids. The mountain sleds have single beam skids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not anymore... https://arcticcat.txtsv.com/snowmobile/crossover/riot-x And even before that, they didnt give them a mountain track like the XF High Country sleds. You could get them in 1.6 or 2.0 (dual rail) but, not the 2.25 Powerclaw or 2.6 Powerclaw. Those tracks are legendary, in the deep. At least they are now sending them with the 2.6 but, I really think they are missing their market. I have no interest in the single rail. It might be great for the steep and deep but, we ride way too many trail miles to get to those areas, and being on a single tippy rail, is just not for me.

Ox Posted January 13, 2024 Share Posted January 13, 2024 Are you hypothisizing, or have you ridden one on trail? I would have to think that it would wear out tracks a lot quicker? Maybe lugs? Maybe glass rods? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go stand on one 2x4 on edge, and then 2, 2x4's tied together, side to side about 12-13" apart... tell me which one you think is more stable. I'll wait. I hope Mrs. O, doesnt have to run you to the mergency. I honestly dont have to ride it, to see where I would have an issue. I have zero interest in trying one. zero. I have heard of guys putting on 4 wheel kits in the back, and or "training wheel" kits on them, to make them more stable, for what I am talking about. If you are going that far, pull the single driver shaft, and the monorail, and install a regular 2 driver shaft, and the twin rail, in my opinion.

Again, missing a pretty good sized market share, in my opinion. Maybe they will bring something out in the catalyst chassis, for spring buy. time will tell. To me, if the mono rail was all that, all the mfgs would be narrowing up the skids, until the patent wore out, then made their own version of the single rail.
