Try the Alternative Impact 37 inch A arms on your 07, Totally a different handling machine, Will carve on setup snow and remarkable in the powder and holds a line effortlessly,Great for boondocking.These should have been made years ago.

Nope, never will. That's Doos answer to solving the agility problem with their 16 wide tracks. Both the Pro and M8 handle a helluva lot better and, surprise, they have an inch WIDER a-arms than a standard Rev! There is a reason Camoplast's new 16 wide C-Xtremes are coming with the paddles only 15 wide on them (same as my track mod - it just plain WORKS without going to ridiculously narrow A-arms). In fact, after my track mod, I have now gone to 39" wide stance (same as Pro's) with skis centered over the spindles using Holz spacers (much better control without sacrificing sidehilling ability). Tom can chime in on that subject too. If you do insist on sticking with a 16 wide track... then yes, the 37" arms make sense and are the only option.

Cheers,

Then dont, They offset the extra 1/2 inch of track on the side so well the sled will carve hard bottom turns like butter, I ride the pro and the M8 and have the 37 inch. rev..people should only respond with remarks after they have they tried a product.Only then is it credible information and a true evaluation.

I understand that and I never said it wouldn't work but for the price of some $8 nippers at Harbor Freight you can do the G MAN track mod (I take the half inch off of each side of the lugs on a 16 wide track - even cuts off 3/4 lb of rotating mass) and get to the same place. A-Arms aren't cheap, especially those! More than one way to skin a cat (no pun intended, lol). Certainly meant no disrespect to you byeatts!

PS - If doing the track mod, spray track cutting area with silicone spray for easier cutting.
PSS - Sled is a carving FOOL now! Pivots on a dime and doesn't want to straighten out like before!
