What kinda travel does it have? And how do you measure that? From the front of the track, back, middle?

SBA800 07-05-2013 03:10 PM

Skis have 9" of travel, and rear has 15" of travel.

My guess is you just measure the distance the shock can move.

Maxx2893 07-05-2013 04:20 PM

Dang, that's a lot more than I woulda thought. Maybe a snowmobiles. I know you can't do that on a lot of vehicles though. Most TT's have 36" in the rear. They use 18" travel shocks.

SBA800 07-05-2013 04:23 PM

Yeah I have no idea how one would go about measuring it in the rear. Such a long track that it will be different in the front than in the very back.

Maybe measure in the middle. No idea haha.

Maxx2893 07-05-2013 04:48 PM

Yeah that would be pretty hard. The other thing is, 2 sleds that have the same suspension set up, one has long track and one has short, measure from the rear will be completely different numbers.

SBA800 07-05-2013 06:00 PM

yeah not sure how that would work.

all I know is it floats over bumps when its set up for it lol

Maxx2893 07-05-2013 07:31 PM

Nice! Always wanted to ride one. Never had a chance to.

SBA800 07-05-2013 09:09 PM

you gotta man, its by far the best type of offroading there is imo.

the freedom of sledding is just fantastic. if theres snow, you can go.

anywhere. as long as you know, you dont trespass in peoples yards and shit lol.

Maxx2893 07-05-2013 09:30 PM

I'll do it sometime, just gotta find somewhere to do it. Not very available in Texas.

SBA800 07-05-2013 10:41 PM

Haha yeah I can't imagine it would be doable in Texas lol.

Maxx2893 07-06-2013 10:13 AM

Do the work in the mud? Lol. We don't get snow every year, usually every other. And when we do, it's like an inch or 2

SBA800 07-06-2013 05:06 PM

Lol they work anywhere really. Just not well in many places aside from snow lll
