Rear wheels

Anyone know the outer diameter of the rear idler wheels on the Alpha?

As far as I know there 10"

I had the opportunity to go and see the Alpha One yesterday. It's really cool how they have designed the rear skid. The sled rolls over fairly easy compared to a 2018 mountain cat with a conventional skid. The scratchers are incorporated into the design and kind of hide up under the sled when not in use.

There is a demo ride today but, unfortunately I will not be able to attend the demo but, here are a few pictures of the sled I took yesterday.
