Gripper skis - carbide interchangeability?

[ivar]

Looking to buy a pair of Gripper skis for my 02 XC800, but the seller only had 3" carbides at hand.
Are there other carbides that interchanges? (Maybe with some extra drilling?) Got several pairs of SLP and Polaris skegs on the shelf.

you can only get 3" skags for those skis. You may have to try aftermarket to see if anyone made a longer skag.

The same skag is used on all the sleds with gripper skis

I had Polaris race carbides that were longer than the standard version. Have your dealer check. The Gripper uses a different size skag so you cannot use the ones off of SLP or other skis. The best thing to do is buy a set of SLP Powder Pros or SLTs. Either one is a better ski by far than the Gripper. I put a set of PPs on my Dragon after trying the race skags. Huge difference in turning and holding capability!

You can get longer Woody's carbides for the grippers now. Just put a set of the Trail Blazer 6" on mine. Made a huge difference. They make 6", 8", and 10" sets depending on what you need. Got mine off hiperf.com but you could prob go directly through Woodys.
