What kind of gauntlets do you have? Didn’t quite catch the brand from the wind lol

[@AndrewMilleyPerformance]

They are Rox Speed fx. They are intended to use over the Flex Tec hand guards. It’s a great system that works really well together and can be removed quickly

LFS+ ? should be the same as RAS-x on the Skidoo. Lynx do not advertise what the + means. Do you like the front end?

[@AndrewMilleyPerformance]

The RAVE I demoed last set had the same front end. It tracked better through a rough corner than anything I’ve ever ridden. The Xterrain has the rear suspension mounted differently and that effects the handling drastically. After a lot of playing with springs and clickers it’s also really good, but not like the RAVE.

[@tomtraynor5384]

Did you change gearing when you changed tracks? I am finding my stock tracked Xterraon is lazy to hit 800 RPMS--had to set clutch clickers to #4-- where my Rave jumps right to 8000 RPMS.

[@AndrewMilleyPerformance]

I did change gearing. The RAVE and C Xterrain have completely different clutch setups. I have another video posted now about making it run a bit better with gears and clutching. May help yiu

What are you using for the latch on the axe mate? I have an axe mate and after a few rides the Velcro strap that it came with is ripped.

A “Ball Bungee.” I can send you a picture. Not sure if I can post a picture here

[@joshtino5321]

How is it carving in the snow ?

[@AndrewMilleyPerformance]

Only ok. That’s the compromise with the full width front end.

@@AndrewMilleyPerformance I’m so torn between brutal and xterrain. I want the pps suspension and unfamiliar with the easy ride suspension

[@AndrewMilleyPerformance]

@@joshtino5321 I haven’t ridden a Brutal yet, but they are definitely very different machines. The Brutal is all about off trail performance, the RE is all about maximum suspension performance with some off trail capability
