    As a novice sledder, 2nd year in, this is a fantastic explanation of how all this works. I just assumed it was some type of voodoo that made it all work.

    Great explanation of the two models. I'm starting to play with the center shock spring pre-load on my 19 Pro to make it a little more playful.

      @@gratefulshred Good to hear that it works. I'm not looking to do wheelies, I just miss the fun factor of my old 155 Pro. I also have the 19 850 but it is a 163". It gets it done in the deep but is a little too planted in the hero snow. Time to play with the shocks and lighten the front end a bit.

    I feel like the khaos was marketing genius to get the flatlanders to buy wheelie machines. The pro is still king of the mountain when you need to be in control.

    Would you tighten up the limiter strap on the khaos to level it out a bit?

    Brett - How do you set your preload on the rear track shocks on both machines? Do you run alot of preload on the ski's?

    • @turcotte16
      @turcotte16  4 роки тому +2

      On the Rmk i will typically run less pre load, it has a slightly stiffer spring on the rear compared to Khaos. I run anywhere from 1/2” to 3/4” pre load on the ski shocks. A good rule of thumb is to take all the pre load away, then add 1/2” as a starting point then use your clickers from there.

  • @otahu26
    @otahu26 4 роки тому

    I found adjusting the spring is far better then playing with clickers.. cos you look your place on the clickers real fast unless you write it down.

    how would you setup a switchback assault? the front end seems a little lower to the ground any way to get it up more? if thats makes sense

    Will simply putting a khaos limited strap on a pro make any difference in ski lift?

      No, the front shock on an RMK is physically shorter than the Khaos is..
