I,ve got an 08 nytro.Rode it one season with stock ski's and woody's duellys.Installed the expansion chambers on the front floats and that greatly improved the ride.Now I just want to get it to turn without getting an arm workout everytime I get on a bumpy ,curvy trail.Which skis with what carbide works best for trail riding. :sled1:
 

Cant really comment on the pilots, but I just put a set of tuners on my 08.

inside carbide is 6 inch square, outside is 4 inch square, zero darting, feels like it has power steering. No effort at all to get it to turn , can drive the sled with 1 hand on the bars.
 
i have pilots on my 09 shortie and my bro has the tuners on his 09 XTX....pretty much the same carbides on each (6 in middle and 4 on outside) and they both work great!!!

I prefer the look of the tuner skis on the sled....
 
Thanks or the quick response.Are you guys that are running 6 and 4 with or without studs?
 
I had a set of 6.9 Pilots, worked great off trail, worked worse than stock on trail. Have since went back to stock because I ride mostly trail. Also thinking about a set of Tuners.
 
I just purchased a new 13XTX with tuners that came standard. I can't speak for the pilots but the tuners work well. Well enough for me to buy a Nytro. Every other Nytro to date I have ridden without tuners I hated.
 
I have an 11 xtx with pilot 6.9s and love how they handle. But, haven't run tuners, so, I can only say they were better than stock skis with duel carbides.
 
sorry with studs with the pilots and xtx with a 1.75" with the tuner skis

one thing I do find with my pilots skis- if there's fresh snow, they like to float.
